(and discredited) is probably stating the obvious!

Expanding Earth was he theory until surprisingly recently. Continental drift replaced it.

Hysterical! (or is it just me?)

Thanks for some much-needed stress relief, alanocu! Via the entertaining and educational clip, I mean

I don't know, I still think a pelvic massage would be good for hysteria - at least, it wouldn't do any harm!

Oops, maybe that remark was too risque! My apologies for any offense taken - God knows, the last thing I want to be accused of is SMUTTY!

Kind of hate to sound like a wet blanket but, here goes: As for the expanding earth theory I didn't really read anything that "discredited" the theory. Now I'm not necessarily a believer in this theory, but, you have to say more just 'nuh-huh it ain't true' to discredit a theory. The text says, "the Expanding Earth theory has been discredited by nearly all of Earth’s scientists" and yet doesn't name ANY! Name a few, cite some papers on this, address the points made the believers; something! You can't make an argument by just making it appear ridiculous. That's what was done about man's ability to fly and we know how that ended up.

errata: "address the points made BY the believers"

I don't know, I still think a pelvic massage would be good for hysteria - at least, it wouldn't do any harm!

I was thinking exactly the same thing, myself.

California may still become an island....eventually.
It will also be parked up by Alaska

In a lot of ways, California is an island.

I'm a believer in retro-phrenology, where you bang someone's head into a certain shape to achieve a certain behavioral change.

I've heard that called Massive Head-trauma Therapy.

Actually, I put myself through college working as a professional pelvic masseuse on the ferry boat between California and the American Mainland.

Eventually I graduated from the International School of Corrective Phernology, with a double degree in Expansionist Geology, and Corrective Trepanation (because everyone knows you can't make money with just a degree in Expansionist Geology! It's all because of the liberal plate-tectonics conspiracy. I blame Clinton!)

At any rate, thanks a lot, Alanocu, your clip just ruined my career! Do you have any clue how many Phrenology school loans I still have to pay back? :-0

LOL

Yo, alanocu! What's your email, man?
