How do I add a category? It needs to be in the LOTR category. (Wow it’s hard to edit this thing on a phone) Kirinhatchi (talk)

No, it's an extremely weak, dark red rock from Minecraft. RadiantRainwing (talk) 00:39, 22 November 2025 (UTC)

andalite is not a rock it's an alien from Animorphs which the author is a fan of. Maybe I'll add it to the Animorphs category page Whoservelt (talk) 00:28, 22 November 2025 (UTC)

They’re just normal rock types, so perhaps not, but I was wondering if the back-to-back references to granite and diorite is a secondary Minecraft reference, since they were added in the same update (which I always associate with them in general.)

Do we make this a table? This comic seems perfect for a table. Maybe 'layer', whether it's real or not, and explanation? <span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 16px;">--'''''[[User:DollarStoreBa'al|<span style="color:#E3C6BE">DollarStoreBa'al</span>]]^{[[User Talk:DollarStoreBa'al|<span style="color:#CC9A8B">Converse</span>]]}</span> (talk) 01:36, 22 November 2025 (UTC)

I'll try to work on a a table (given that someone else doesn't beat me to the chase). Also-what happened to your sig? 42.book.addict^{Talk to me!} 06:31, 22 November 2025 (UTC)

I think it IS another Minecraft reference. Along with granite and diorite, there’s a third in that triad: andesite — which is spelled and pronounced similarly enough to “Andalite” that the two could quite possibly be conflated, especially by someone who is familiar with the latter and “always has to look up” the former.

Well, it's 'andalite' in the comic, not andesite. I think that's just a passing reference. <span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 16px;">--'''''[[User:DollarStoreBa'al|<span style="color:#E3C6BE">DollarStoreBa'al</span>]]^{[[User Talk:DollarStoreBa'al|<span style="color:#CC9A8B">Converse</span>]]}</span> (talk) 02:29, 22 November 2025 (UTC)

Should reference somewhere that Balrogs having wings is controversial to begin with (see here)[1] 2601:241:8002:3E0:89D3:137:DFC1:D5B4 04:41, 22 November 2025 (UTC)

Actually, coring previous drilling equipment can happen. The southern German town of Staufen suffered a geothermal drilling gone wrong (they inserted ground water into anhydrite, which swelled, causing the town to rise). During the investigations, the original drilling equipment was hit in the new core, showing the errors made in the first place. 2001:16B8:A875:DC00:3068:165E:B396:DE72 07:33, 22 November 2025 (UTC)
