Now I've learned about another obscure skill to put on the "must learn to do before I die" list. I've got like a 100 years worth of crap on that list. :-) Thanks, Roo.

That looks impressive. How does one become a 'certified' rock balancer? Is the bar high? (no pun intended) Wow. That looks impressive.

The problem, I spent ages stacking the blocks 3 one way 3 the other etc. Then pushed on one. The physics does not really "do" friction, but the pile collapsed. The trouble was I had not put in any return to original state script. Much slapping of virtual hand on virtual forehead whilst playing a Doh! sound clip.

We had, at work, inspired bu the book of the cool and list of things people had done or did that we did not know about. We never had rock balancing before! I am off to try it now too. Lets hope this does not end up in your objectives for the year? Very nice pic. Wow.
