From the right view, this unique rock formation, comprised of five layers of Conway red granite, depicts the distinct profile of an elderly man gazing eastward. Geographers believe that the layers of granite were formed by the melting and slipping away action of an ice sheet that covered the Franconia Mountains at the end of the glacial period - some 2,000 to 10,000 years ago. Today, the formation, measuring over 40 feet high with a lateral distance of 25 feet, is held in place by cables and turnbuckles to prevent further slipping and possible destruction. The 'formation' of the New Hampshire quarter design began when New Hampshire Governor Jeanne Shaheen established a Commemorative Quarter Committee... http://www.usmint.gov/mint_programs/50sq_program/states/nh/index.cfm?flash=yes Site has a picture also...

I read somewhere that having six fingers to a hand was dominant to having five. This was more than a bit confusing. Anyone know if this is true? Does anyone know anything about the McKenzie Poltergiest? Does anyone know about anything about astronaut Scott Carpenter? I have once heard that a noise was recorded in an American forest that matched no animal or human sound but was definately something living, does anyone know any more about this?
