Off Topic: Found where Lizards got for spring break - The Perfect Rock

In San Francisco (yeah, I know what I said in #549, but this is an exception), there was a very rocky section of coastline.

This rocky section of coastline was, not surprisingly, a popular place to gather for all the seagulls. There was one large rock there that the seagulls treated as their toilet. It was so covered in bird poop, it looked like dripping wax on a melted candle.

The local nickname for this bird-poop-rock was “Candlestick Rock”. Yep, you guessed it! The land was purchased, a sports stadium was built there, and that’s how “Candlestick Park” got it’s name!
