This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I was thinking the same thing, but here's my guess:
-Cold, foggy night/morning = frost forming
-Cloudy until early-morning so the sun doesn't warm the shingles
-Clouds clear up a bit by mid-morning, and the sun rapidly warms up the shingles, leading to the frost evaporating quickly relative to the shadow's motion
Sun's hot
Tides goes in, tide goes out. Can’t explain that.
When you get in the bath, the water sloshes back and forth. When you hit a tuning fork, it doesn't matter how, it vibrates at the same frequency. Put those two together and it's the same thing with the sea, only bigger and wetter. People are always chucking things in the sea, like new boats and stuff.
