Subject: [SWR] My late night thoughts during insomnia
An observation about Karstbad Cavern: "The cave swallows cave swallows."
If blow holes are barometric, why aren't half of them called suck holes?
If "The Big Room" is a common name for a passage in caves, why isn't "The
Little Room"?
Do walking passages ever run or even stop walking?
Ever try to thread a gypsum needle?
Why aren't there more helicmites? Or cattooth spar? or calcite yachts?
Are fried egg stalagmites usually found with bacon?
Does any cave have a Gnu Section? Where is Sinkhole de Mayo?
Is a filled in sinkhole called a sinkwhole?
Group names: herd, flock, pride, school, swarm, covey, murder, bevy, etc. But
what would you call a group of cavers? I would suggest: column as cavers
generally go single file, and it makes one think of a type of speleothem as
well.
