[edit]what is Rock weathering? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.248.87.1 (talk) 16:02, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
- @Bibliomaniac15, rock weathering is when wind, or water break down rocks into smaller pieces. AKA Erosion. 2600:6C5E:3800:187E:8896:A14A:6863:7143 (talk) 20:42, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
Need Examples
[edit]This topic is difficult to understand without examples. I recommend replacing the "If the rock is wet, it is raining" stuff —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.46.198.232 (talk) 15:28, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
- There is a weather rock in Calgary, Alberta, at a long standing greenhouse called 'Golden Acres', in the NW. Unfort, I'm not there anymore, but if anyone's in Calgary, a picture would be a good addition. Removed ad tag and wikify tag. Nihola (talk) 22:28, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
Modified extensively
[edit]I added a list of typical properties ascribed to weather rocks, deleted one reference which had seemed to add little, and added an little text to the remaining reference. Also cleaned up the rock vs stone issue a bit. TundraGreen (talk) 03:22, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
Metservice (New Zealand) has one in the office. Officially they don't use it for their predictions. SchlauFuchs (talk) 03:10, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
The list of locations
[edit]I formatted the list of locations. I didn't remove anything, but are so many examples needed? Ex. "Outside the McDonald's in Lithgow, Australia". Unless this is meant to be a database of all known weather rocks, it might be better to narrow it down to only notable examples. (Which rocks would be notable? No clue. I tried to do some research on the origins of the joke, but found nothing.) If someone feels up to it, the list could be shortened, as could the list of instructions.

Drunk Part
[edit]Who thought of adding "*If you see 2 rocks then you are drunk." ??!! That is not weather related. It should be removed. 2600:6C5E:3800:187E:8896:A14A:6863:7143 (talk) 20:45, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
