Mr. Anonymous accuses us of cork blowing

In due course we will get around to revealing what it is we have discovered about the quaint notion that the Chinese circumnavigated the Earth in 1421 A.D. in huge junks sent out by a genius eunuch admiral, but we wanted to let our regulars know that our initial post has drawn a response from Mr. Anonymous, who accuses us of cork blowing.

Indeed!

In the meantime we've got an 8th grade science fair project to oversee as we attempt to draw power from the very bowels of the earth.

And speaking of bowels of the earth, Japanese scientists have set sail on a mission to dig over 4 miles beneath the sea bed to investigate the origins of life and earthquakes.

We wish them all the best but hope they don't encounter more than that for which they bargain. (Alright, more than they bargain for, but some English grammar nut is gonna rake us but good.)
