Adding to the list of rocks the midrash says that the mizbeach weeps fwhen
couples get divorced.
Is the mizbeach now also intelligent?

This shabbat I saw an explanation that the mizbeach was a place full of
slaughter and blood. The midrash is saying that even in such a place full of
all this gory details we still need to remember the suffering of divorced
couples and their children.

BTW in general most people dont realize that the bet hamikdash was in many
ways a slaughter house. The gemara already talks about the amount of blood
on the floor
