ANCIENT RAMAYANA BRIDGE - A REALISTIC POSSIBILITY

[Poohbah]

How much is 17,00,000 in a ten-base system?

17,000,000, but all your ten-base are belong to us now!

[Poohbah]

I came here for an argument, not abuse!

[SERE_DOC]

"I came here for an argument, not abuse!"

Oh, sorry, arguments? that's two threads over.

[Redcloak]

Oh... Is that what this is about? That's not a man-made object. It's a formation left by the extinct species Alces Aquatica. A. Aquatica would engage in short migrations from one coastal feeding area to another. To mark their path, they would leave a trail of small stones behind them to follow back at the end of the season. Over the years, the A. Aquatica trails could get quite high and the animals were no longer rquired to swim the entire distance.

Alces Aquatica should not be confused with its pelagic cousin, Alces Ceti.

[madrastex]

oh,crumbs!

[TomServo]

Blue--no, red!

Ha haaaaaaaaaaa - and what is the number of the count?

[Poohbah]

Three is the number of the count, and the number of the count is three. Thou shalt not counteth to four, neither shalt thou counteth to two, unless thou proceedeth to counteth to three.

Five is right out.

[TomServo]

Five is right out.

LOL - never fails to crack me up!

[Hoplite]

Wherever the hard working New World Camelid makes it's mark, the small eyed, bifid lipped pseudo-paleontologists of the Moose mafia soon decend like the pack of Buteo they truly are.

"Back!", I say, and let the accreted droppings marking centuries, nay, aeons of the glorious beaked-vicuna's quest for Sri Lanka's tangy puna be seen for what it truly is! A submerged llavatory of the Gods!

Why, to this day, Tamil Tigers scavenging ex-Army blankets in the Palk straights (with grappling irons) still fear the cry: "Look out, there are llamas!"

[Redcloak]

Oh! Give me a break! Do you expect us to believe that pile of camel dung?!? Everyone and his uncle knows that the Beaked Vicuna was a denizen of riparian environments, not coastal environments. The Beaked Vicuna and Alces Aquatica never crossed paths.

And as for the Tamil Tigers, their greatest fear is of the Sea Cheese, which, as I mentioned previously, is a myth.

[Hoplite]

Of course they never crossed paths - Alces is derived from the Indo-European word for "Also", as in, "when you see the intrepid Llama (Blessed be thy name!), you will soon also see the lowly Moose", bereft as it is of any higher instinct save to follow it's better around the globe (and ruin the neighborhood - it cannot be denied).

I ask you:

Does the base tail ever cross paths with the seat of intellect, the head?
Of course not.

Has Sri Lanka, centuries after the property depreciating Moose was finally driven off, regained it's former desirability from the heydey of the visiting Llama?
Of course not.

Simple logic confounds your position (Llama be praised!). Thank goodness the Andean gentrification project's long term viability was protected from your ever encroaching sub-ruminant (the dark shame of the family Cervidae) by the shark infested waters of the Panama moat - and since the vache trebouchets no longer have to drive off mossy-antlered interlopers, the bounty of the Pampas drives the economic heart of South America - truly a shining example of what freedom from the threat of the Moose can bring.

What more is there to say of a lowly beast that lacks the refinement of even a distinct plural form?
