Chicago O'Hare digs up 50-ton boulder, asks public to name it

Original: Chicago O'Hare digs up 50-ton boulder under airfield, asks public for name ideas

Crews at Chicago O'Hare International Airport have excavated a massive 50-ton boulder from beneath the airfield, and the airport is now inviting the public to suggest names for the rock. The unusual discovery and lighthearted naming contest have drawn wide attention, with people online amused by the idea of a boulder earning an official name at one of the busiest airports in the United States.

Why now: A giant buried boulder plus a public naming contest is an odd, charming story that invites participation and jokes.
