Boulder, Rock or Stone?
Just to take a break from Valia: Life of a Succubus and refresh my batteries, here is a fun question that will probably have people debating, is the above picture a boulder, a rock or a stone to you?

Yes.
You can actually see a few people sitting in the background (just under the left side of the geological mystery), and for them to be so small in comparison either: 1. they'd need to be extremely far away (the terrain makes this seem unlikely, I'm having trouble pinning down exactly why though), 2. this would need to be an office-building-sized boulder (also unlikely, especially given its shape), or 3. this is a forced-perspective shot of a much smaller rock/stone. In addition, how out-of-focus they are suggests the rock is extremely close. I definitely gotta go with 3 there, so boulder is out. From there I say the details on the subject itself suggest it's still a good size (smaller stones tend to be smoother) - around a volleyball size at a guess. Which to me is big enough that "stone" seems like an understatement. So there's my analysis :P
I zoomed in and the small figures doesn't exactly look like people to me, it is difficult to determine it's size, but I'll give a few points for the details in the surface of the object, which might very well be huge :)
Or it's double bluff and is in fact, huge (que masculine grunts and pump gestures) XD
Wonder if that excuse would work on a date...:-)
It's tricky because of the close up photo, we have nothing in depth to compare it's size with, the tree top, or bushes, are behind the elevated view of the "subject" so it could as well be a zoomed in photo of a rock (which is smaller than a boulder).
Finally someone says it. Hence my vote for stone. :-) P.s. caught your speech on the simbro page.
My first instinct was. BOULDER.... Then I said naw that can't be right, so I looked up the scientific definition of all 3.... And without knowing more about that particular chunk of heavy shit.... I'm going with boulder. :P
