Leave it to clavey to change "large land mass" to the more derogatory "large mass of dirt". Bravo sir. Your wit precedes you.

However, this method relies on repeatable, falsifiable hypotheses and theories. Only an extremely small spectrum of time and space can be rendered into these, or at least a good approximation of such.

It's Mexico... so large mass of dirt is appropriate.

It's an Onion piece that is teh funnay. And my heritage is multi-national (at least 7 different cultures), which is more than most people on R3D, so I can pick and choose which heritage I wish to like more than the other. I dunno why you are so angry Zero, is it an Asianiac thing?
