September 16 is Collect Rocks Day. It’s a day for amateur geologists to indulge in their favorite hobby. And where better to collect rocks than Bedrock, home of The Flintstones? While you’re there, be sure to treat yourself to some dinosaur ribs—but take care that they don’t tip your car over.

Hey, do you know the words to the line that comes next?  For years, I thought it was “Through the curtains see our friends compete.”  Listen to it—it absolutely sounds like that.

It turns out the co-worker was right. The line is “Through the courtesy of Fred’s two feet.”
