Ooohhh, yeah, let's start arguing over the maximum diameter a stone can be to qualify as "small" gravel ... ;-)

well small is a relative term... even an 1/8" stone would be considered large next to a grain of sand...

How are we going to define sand? Coral sand, Shell sand, pulverized rock sand? And what aggregate. Is multicolored sand an option? What about sand art photographs? Too much to agree upon, so let's just say it's whatever one thinks is sand in their own mind. Oh, wait a minute I have sand in my head instead of rocks, sorry!

I have a good record of killing threads. I didn't mean to kill this one. I'd love to have a sand challenge or side challenge for that matter. Sand is more prevalent in our lives then we commonly think.
