Rocks choose their owners, but they allow us the joy of believing to the contrary.

The government today announced that it is changing its emblem from a Maple Leaf to a CONDOM because it more accurately reflects the government's political stance. A condom allows for inflation, halts production, destroys the next generation, protects a bunch of pricks, and gives you a sense of security while you're actually being screwed.
Damn, it just doesn't get more accurate than that.

My guess is that it is slag glass from the Owens-Corning plant.

The slag glass posts are correct. It started life in an Owens Corning Insulation plant that used to be in our town. It was given to us by my gf's parents. It sits on our mantle. I have got to say you guys are good.
