    Stone can even form hexagonal pillars/ patterns. I don’t know why people are surprised. It’s called columnar jointing (for my example).

      Just because you name it, doesn’t make it natural. That was obviously built and put in place by some sort of alien Q*Bert type species.

        And you should have heard the swearing every time something went wrong!

        I’m going to censor the word they say because it’s really bad.

      It’s not so much that they’re surprised, it’s that they won’t accept prosaic explanations when there are more interesting fantastical ones.

      No no no. You don’t understand. What that means is that aliens are actually hexagonal and they’re just sending a message that they are that shape. For some reason.
