I feared this information had been lost last week, but I just found
the file where I placed it. That’s very fortunate, because this
information came from one of those truly illuminating moments. Last
week, while I was in the #gnome-hackers IRC channel, I saw one of
those conversations that leaves you pondering the sagacity of the
builders of Gnome. Meditate upon this and you will learn wisdom.

<mtgordon> I have a piece of wood I like to use as a rock.
<mtgordon> It's not as heavy as a real rock would be.
<campout> but "using it as a rock" ?
<campout> that makes no sense

<tberman> how do you use rocks?
