@pony I should teach this joke to my environmental scientist wife.

@pony mineralogists name the minerals based rather on a random freature of them on they chimical structure. i wonder what was the context on that one

@mushi "named after the town of Cummington, Massachusetts, where it was discovered" I guess

@pony suuuuuuure, that is it

@mushi lel. It's properly cited in the wiki. I have a friend whose last name is Cummings

@pony well, his highschool time might have been funny

@mushi He's my age. Most folks my age didn't have very debaucherous high schools, but I'm sure he must have gotten the odd comment about it. It's not an uncommon name though, in any case.
