That's cool. The museum of natural history in Philadelphia has a giant lump 
of branched sand in the front lobby. Someone found it after lightning hit 
the beach, apparently, and melted the silicon sand into figures like this.

Altho, honestly, I'd rather here the snaps and crackles and bangs they 
describe in text then some random throbbing technobeat. (Or, as one pundit 
said, "Even if the bodies are hitting the floor, I don't want to hear about 
it from you.")

That is pretty cool how it keeps flashing for a bit after the initial 
cross-over.
