I was sorting through the potatoes in the wagon, brushing the dirt clumps off, when I picked up one of these ones. It was just slightly heavier than it should be, so I stopped and looked a little closer. One of these potatoes is a rock! It blends in quite well. Once you pause and pay more attention, it's a bit more obvious it's a rock (far left, second from bottom), but when you're trying to work through 175 pounds of potatoes quickly, you don't notice it right away.
Impressed with it's chameleon qualities, I threw it in the bucket of cut potatoes. Sooner or later, we'll clean it up to see what kind of rock it is.
