Re: Edward's hesitancy

The hypothesis that continents 'drift' was first put forward by Abraham Ortelius in 1596 and was fully developed by Alfred Wegener in 1912. However, it was not until the development of the theory of plate tectonics in the 1960s, that a sufficient geological explanation of that movement was found.

See, [)ante, you are in good company. Even Abraham Ortelius' attempt to date his [)estiny in 1596 was not fully fruit bearing until after the 1960's and the explanation of tectonic plate theory. All humor aside, there is only our sense of humor to turn to whether our taste our will as failing us or heroically winning the day. The eventuality being determined by our viewpoint day by day, some days hour by hour.

Thus, and once more, as my kitty oft' poetisizes in his loneliness as being door nail dead (though having already achieved immortality in his mind as he does not admit to nine lives as an established limitation):

As for continental drift over, I've never seen continental drift occur over a game of scrabble, scallops with herbed butter, and a bottle of Harveys Bristol Creme Sherry. Now as for asking her to dinner at your place-as well as cooking the dinner-that might take a shift of strategy approaching a tectonic event.:)
