    I couldn’t find an explanation for the ring-shaped hailstones, but I did find a picture of a similar one from an Australian summer storm:

    At a guess, the hailstones formed the normal way, then began to melt when they passed into warmer air.

    Norway? No way for the Fiore della Fjord to be dressing, I’d say. But, then, my levitating days are mostly bygone, by gum!

    In my long lost youth I knew a young lady who could levitate in the back seat of a 1949 chevrolet.

    Doughnut-shaped hail: Intriguing. Has happened before – This article from 2009 includes an email address for a meteorologist who seems to understand the phenomenon, but I don’t know if the email address still works.

    Since I’ve been outed as a meteorologist, I guess I’d better comment on the hail. The final size and shape of a hailstone when it hits the ground depends on a lot of things. It all starts when a thunderstorm grows high enough to be above the freezing level. Raindrops freeze there. If the drops get out of the area of strongest updraft, they fall and may melt on their way to the ground. Or they might get back into the stronger updraft and be swept back up to freezing levels and collect more moisture and grow larger — into hailstones that make it to the ground.How large a hailstone gets is determined by how strong the updrafts in the storm are and how long they persist at their strongest. Amount of turbulence is also a factor.How they are shaped depends on aerodynamic factors — they’ll tend to orient themselves to least wind resistance. Small density differences can also make a difference as the hailstone would also try to go heavy side down. then there’s how much time they spend above and below the freezing level affecting how they grow and melt and whether more than one stone clumps together after a collision. A cross section can tell you a lot about a hailstone’s history.So how did some get to be disc or donut shaped? Some combination of the above.

    So levitating never worked for me because I didn’t clench my fists. Now that I know….Hee, hee, the comment box is huge even after that long post about hail

    Y’know, if that bible title had metal in in, they could have branded it onto the bottom of that pizza slice in the microwave.

    anyone know the date of the coca cola ad? A quick search dates 5 Cent bottles up to ‘49 but I’m guessing the swastikas make it older than that.
