The article doesn’t get everything right-it was a war, not geological change. And there are things my family knows that don’t look like they’re on the site–like what the Human Genome Project is actually for. That prehistory is written into our genes–they’re trying to decode it. ---

[QUOTE=Larry Borgia] Wow.

It wants people to think it lives under the Golden Gate Bridge, or the Brooklyn Bridge, or something equally grandiose and famous.
