We won’t need ships of any sort.......................

You could have told me earlier...

- Too many gas guzzlers? Or maybe too few? -

Let me write a quick computer model and get back to you on that. ;-)

Nancy Pelosi landed on earth from an asteroid, and the planet has never been the same since.

[Rightwing Conspiratr1]

I thought it was determined that the moon was made up of the earth. Thus it wasn’t a foreign body captured by the earth, but separated from the earth.

[Flick Lives]

1 million years ago, the dinosaurs had been extinct for 64 million years.

That’s why I’m amazed at the ignorant hysterics the media and FedGov can gin up over global warming and how there are only 10 years left until the end of life. It shows a colossal level of ignorance of time and just how long life has existed on the planet.

[Red Badger]

It is half and half. A planetoid crashed into the Earth and resulted in the Moon being formed from both objects...............

May the Schwartz be with you.
Oh, Barf needs a walking if you don’t mind.

[barney10]

And yet some here would say the earth is only 6500 years old...

[Gay State Conservative]

That reminds me that I need to watch that again.I just got the 4K disc and I've read that it's amazing!

Little confused. On the one hand they are saying glaciers (on land cause that’s where they live) got more sticky to the bedrock but on the other hand it seems that they figured this out from oceanbed cores. Am I missing something?

Thanks Red Badger. There's no gradualist model that works to trigger glaciation, that's why there's the generrations-long back-and-forth disagreement about which scenario is the actual one. IMHO of course.

I was just going to say the sun goes through cycles.

[PIF]

Back when black powder was a fairly recent Chinese invention, a man named Wan Hu reportedly attached 47 gunpowder rockets to his chair, lit the fuses and took off, and was never seen again ...

[GrannyAnn]

Nibiru, the twelfth planet, collided with Tiamat. Half of Tiamat became the earth, the other half became the asteroid belt. The scar is at the bottom of the Pacific ocean.

[Alas Babylon!]

[hinckley buzzard]

The 41000 year cycle is called the Milankovich cycle and describes the progression of the angle of the rotational axis from 22+ degrees to 24+ degrees. Nothing to do with the sun, but the rotation of the earth. Whatever disrupted the effect on climate has apparently self corrected, because the cycle is still operating.

[Red Badger]

Global warming caused the glaciers to melt and the oceans to rise?..............
