eric: have you ever heard of lake agassiz?
eric: it’s a lake that was formed in the middle of the US from glacier runoff
kara: no. oh it’s big. was big.
eric: larger than all the great lakes combined!
kara: are you reading something about it?
eric: just the wikipedia
eric: it’s interesting b/c apparently it just kept getting bigger and bigger as the glacier receded
kara: nowhere to drain?
eric: until eventually an opening into the ocean opened up
eric: and it all drained *at once*
kara: yikes – 1-3 meters rise in sea level!
kara: that’s INSANE!
eric: …meanwhile, in the bible…
kara: heh
kara: how did you come across this
eric: i was reading about biblical history
eric: abrahamic religions & so on
eric: i mean… theoretically if the timing on that is there they think it is, it accounts not only for the flood myths across various religions but also global cooling and the genesis of urban life & agriculture which led to monotheism in the first place
kara: …it’s weird that this is making me hot right?
eric: =D
I am in the cookie puss variety hour gallery on flickr. please please, hold your applause.
