i often think about how eons before cookie monster was conceived, or indeed before there were minds capable of conceiving, cookie monster was already there, waiting
Figure 28. This geode was serendipitously cut at a perfect angle, resulting in halves resembling the famous Cookie Monster (top). Coincidentally, the geode also showed blue fluorescence under long-wave ultraviolet light, reminiscent of teh character's blue fur (bottom). Photos by Robert Weldon: courtesy of Mike Bowers.
