Excellent illustrationsm of the lake formation process.

Sir,I'm not sure if you read the introduction ...But I You think you're the smarter than everyone else, don't you?

As for the diagram, its very pretty but scientifically erroneous.

Really, Sir? Bacause I sent it to the Discover Magazine and ... they like it, and they publish it.

Do not play games with me, T.S.

You're out of your league.

And what about the magnetic wheel?

Didn't mention anything about that.

I dont give a a rat's ass about the magnetic wheel

Mr. Stenpock,how can a man like you, supposed to open our minds through scientific curiosity, How can you be so aggresively narrow minded?

Every scientists were like you There will be no penicillin, no relativity, or sewer trains, Know what it would be, no chocolates or cookies!
