some kind of druid dudes lifting the veil
Dear wikipedia,
I could have spent the last hour writing my swashbucklathon fic instead of reading through your list of nautical terms. In fact, I daresay that would have been more profitable, considering that I gleaned very very little from that list. I just wanted the name of a random line that could potentially snap without causing anything major to fail. Where's the diagram from True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle when you need it?
However, I have 1300 words now and ten more days to finish, so...yay?
"You know what I think? I think the continents are all sliding back together to form Pangaea, and then when they all come together Yellowstone will explode and cover all the continents with lava so that it all stays stuck together and then civilization will start over with dinosaurs and stuff. But hopefully we'll be living on the moon by then."

You'd think somebody using the term "Pangaea" wouldn't be on so much crack.
