And, preferably, falling from cloudless skies.

Oh come on man... tides? Tides?

[superversive]

You want tides? I’ve seen photos of Admiralty tide-water markers on rock faces on the coast of Australia, made in the mid-19th century, which are exactly at sea level at the same phases of the tide today.

The change in sea-level worldwide, while not precisely uniform, has been insignificant over the last century and a half.

Guys, you realize the "sea level rise" was tongue in cheek. Fact is, there has been no sea level rise at LaJolla in 130 years.

[superversive]

I realized that. I’m not sure about our other interlocutor - which is why I mentioned those Admiralty markers.

You did note the erosion.

The big rock that collapsed? The debris can be seen.

Well, we're all gonna die of something. Even those who believe Death Is Not The End™...

Your icon is awesome and full of ramen-flavored goodness.
