The hover text on this says,


Quote:I don't trust mantle/core geologist because I suspect that, if they ever get a chance to peel away the Earth's crust, they'll do it in a heartbeat.


I read XKCD regularly.

Thanks Brian. I read it when my daughter sends me a link. I have a long sleeve shirt from UCSB that is about 30 years old that shows a bearded man peeling away the crust. I suppose I could take a picture of it and post it but that involves effort.

Hope you are doing well and will post enough to revive this site. I'd join in but less than in the old days.

I discovered XKCD many years ago. I took the time to go back to the beginning and read them all.

I'm doing well. Actually, things are improving. Slowly, but in the right direction. Just got a promotion at my job.

I may be able to post more often in the near future depending on how some other plans works out.

Glad to see you still around, Chris.
