Wait, the same company that made my cell phone made this thing? Then why do I only get a 4-digit password?
I wonder if it supports custom ringtone creation, or if Verizon will make the Korean military pay per download.
Oh wow, color me embarrassed. Even when I read your reply, the first 5 times though I was still reading "2,000 years ago", wondering "What the hell is he getting at??". The brain's powers of word substitution and sentence completion are just lovely. My bad.
I have a problem with a theory like this. If all that ice (a kilometer of it?) could have melted as recently as 2,000 years ago, how did all of our planet's endlessly diverse planet life grow and propagate globally in such a short time period? There are Sequoias in California that are at least that old, and other living trees elsewhere in the world that are older. Seems to me that throws a wrench into this hypothesis.
I found out about the in the worst way possible a few months back. Me and a buddy were searching for artwork by Stephen Gammell, the illustrator of those infamous creepy Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark books. It was late at night and we were getting creeped out just looking at the artwork. But imagine then, going to Amazon to buy one of the books only to find that THE BOOKS ALREADY KNEW WE WANTED TO BUY THEM, and had marched to Amazon's front page to greet us with their hideous covers before we even got there.
Needless to say, no books were bought that evening.
