But wait; didn't a consensus of scientists say that Wegener was wrong and that his crackpot theory was pure hokum?
Then all these tectonology followers should and MUST be pilloried as heretics!!!
Wait? For what?
I thought I just said that.
I was sacrificing clarity for wit again, I guess. Shouldn't do that.

So far, no deaths reported, which is fantastic news.

It's never too late to sacrifice Tom Hanks.
Actually, in this case yes, it's too late. Your average deity (like Vulcan) requires the sacrifice BEFORE the avoidable action.

I blame plate tectonics... I know, it's a stretch.
Interesting little sidebar on that...
I imagine a sciencey guy like Ray already knows this but isn't it interesting that Alfred Wegener who some call the Father of plate tectonics (and continental drift theory for that matter) had to battle the scientific "consensus" of the day.
One might say he was a "denier."
Exactly, until the evidence came in.
