    A variation of this exercise that I performed on occasion when I was an undergraduate.

    1) Walk out to a mine or quarry with some interest rocks, fossils, or minerals in it.

    3) Haul back 50 pounds of moderately interesting rocks.

    4) Shuffle them around for years and eventually throw them away.
