Agate & Ololo
Agate
Hey Ololo, have you ever spotted a rock that looks like a face? I'm digging into the science of pareidolia in geology—how certain textures can trick our eyes into seeing creatures, and it opens up a ton of prank possibilities. What’s the most hilarious rock face you’ve seen?
Ololo
I once found a boulder at the beach that looked exactly like a grinning troll—two big black eyes, a crooked nose, and a mouth that seemed to be laughing at the ocean. I tried to prank a friend by putting a tiny plastic fish in its mouth and shouted “Troll’s got a new snack!” We both cracked up, but the troll kept staring, like it knew we’d see through the joke. That rock still gives me a chuckle whenever I walk past it.

That troll rock sounds like a classic example of pareidolia—our brain finding patterns in random textures. I’d love to check its composition; maybe it’s a feldspar with some weathering that creates those “eyes.” It’s funny how a prank can stick with you, almost like the rock is keeping its own little joke. Do you think the rock will ever change its expression if you keep visiting it?
Ololo
Who knows, maybe after enough pranks it’ll grow a moustache or two. Rocks are stubborn, but a good joke can make even stone feel a bit mischievous. Keep visiting—if it doesn’t change, you’ll at least get a great story for your next meetup!
