Stargazers in China are in for a feast for their eyes as three major meteor showers will hit the earth one by one from end of this month.

The first to come is the Alpha-Aurigids meteor shower, which has appeared since last week and will light up the sky today and tomorrow, China News Service quoted Zijinshan Observatory as saying.

Alpha-Aurigids will be tightly followed by the Perseids shower, which is supposed to show up from next Sunday to September 13. The last will be the Delta-Aurigids that will become active until mid-October.

Due to their similarity in celestial position as well as color and speed of meteors, the three showers were identified as "Near-Auriga Showers" by astrologists.

Rocks for Fun Cafe in Tigerton, Wisconsin - Associated Content

Posted: 13 Sep 2010 09:52 AM PDT

There is a restaurant on Hwy 45 in Tigerton, Wisconsin that is called Rocks For Fun. Don McClellan and his wife of many years, opened the restaurant after he retired around his rock creations. Each table
has rocks and pebbles under glass that can be looked at while you are waiting for your meal. The walls of the restaurant are full of the art Don has created out of different types and sizes of rocks, stones and pebbles.

Don passes a business card out to each customer with a pebble with the plastic eyes that have a mini balls inside that moves and a red mouth painted on each one. Each business card is numbered. The web site is called www.rocksforfun.com and has many photos of the cafe and the rocks. On the business card it says the rocks are valued at $2,696,167.51. Don has a great sense of humor. He loves to show his rock art to everyone.

Kids really get a kick out of the rocks that Don brings to the table. There is one that surprises them by squirting water and another one that shoots a ball. When one kid pulled a string on a rock that looked like a bomb a firecracker went off. The only thing Don asks is for people not to touch the rock designs hanging on the walls. There is a meteor shower rock creation that if you stand under it and Don pulls a cord water mists out over patrons.There is also a rock in the ladies room that sets off a doorbell in the restaurant if a woman in the bathroom checks the sex of a rock in there. It is a similar idea to the centerfold of Burt Reynolds in the ladies room at the Safehouse in Milwaukee. When you touch the heart over his private parts a siren goes off in the bar.

Rocks For Fun Cafe is a fun stop, especially for kids, if you are traveling through Shawano county on your way to or from northern Wisconsin and Milwaukee. It is located at N4410 US Hwy 45 in Tigerton.
