Number 14/37 is my favorite because your buddy used duct tape to repair his sun hat.

Fanning the flames, Daren, fanning the flames Apparently geologists call these mimetoliths. Here's a quote from the Memphis Archaeological and Geological Society newsletter (http://www.memphisgeology.org/images/rocknews0613.pdf) on the subject:
"The word “mimetolith” was developed in the 1980s by .R. V. Dietrich, Professor at Central Michigan University, and he describes the mimetoliths as: “a natural topographic feature, rock outcrop, rock specimen, mineral specimen, or loose stone the shape of which resembles something else…or the surface pattern of which resembles [something else] such as an animal, a flower, a person.” The key words in the above definition are natural, shape, and resembles. For a rock to be considered a mimetolith the shape must be natural and original to the rock, no alterations in shape or appearance, although in some situations a cut rock will reveal a mimetolith not previously observed in the original rock. Resembles, which is an open ended and subjective description, is essentially in the eye of the beholder. If a rock resembles a cow to you and a horse to the next person, you both are correct."
This mimetolith reminds me of the person who stole MY parking space this morning:
