2013 was banans huh? Tell em about it.... I had to get off Facebook and go to instagram! Any idea why we're in this comic strip again? Its a new year tradition. The cartoonist must be making a point about "Family" You get it? Everybody on earth is in one big family! Putting aside difference would help everybody! Because , Like it or not everybody lives on the same crazy blue marble! who you call a crazy blue marble? 238,900 miles isn't far enough from this maniac.

And if some TV documentary is to be believed, it was the resulting giant tides that swept over entire continents, leeching out minerals into the sea, making them salty.

My understanding was that oceans were necessary for the creation of granite and therefore of the continents, so thousand-foot tides might easily have washed over them. But then, all I know is what I see on TV and in 50 years of reading Scientific American. (Another TV documentary said that one of the Alvarezes had repudiated the iridium/meteor/dinosaur connection and had decided on a less catastrophic explanation, but I’ve never seen confirmation, including in Wikipedia.)
