over-rated vs. under-rated

Probably worth adding, when that Vashon Ice Sheet started retreating, and all the pent up Coconuts floating in glacial Lake Missoula were released, they scoured what we know as the channeled scablands clean and had a clear shot to the vast Pacific. You could hear them as they floated by Skamania, all of em singing David Hasslehoff's pop sensation "Limbo Dance" their collective brain was thinking "Jamaica is just around the corner." But as we all know, it wasn't. Washagoul was.

Washagoul is not remotely Jamaica.

All you could hear when the billions of coconuts passed by Washagoul was disappointment, specifically the clip-clopping of the half-nuts who gave up when they realized their shattered domes wouldn't make it to the Island Paradise. It wasn't until the Coconuts passed Portland International Airport that things started looking up, one of the Coconuts up front had tasted salt.....it wouldn't be long now before there would be Limes...

Pretty soon the mood lifted, all of 'em singing "Put the Lime in the Coconut...."

(sidebar I know this is ridiculous but the number of in-german comments on the Hasselhoff video was in itself pretty damn funny)

The trouble I always have with the part of this story is that the coconut log jam floating in glacial Lake Missoula, so these coconuts, they didn't grow on the shores of the ancient reservoir. They were transported, by African swallows right? Here's where the math breaks down for me as I just don't have all the variables. Help me out: we know n = number of swallows, r1 is median annual reproductive rate of north-flying swallows, we know the distance from the swallow nesting grounds to Lake Missoula, but we're still missing the airspeed velocity of a laden swallow (unladen swallow velocity having previously been well established in numerous engineering journal articles). Is it even theoretically possible for the African swallows of the Pleistocene to have moved enough coconuts to fill up that massive lake as you and your other adherents claim? I'm willing to be educated.

Scientifically speaking, birds and bugs was bigger back then. Even @clarkman would be hardpressed to tie one of them dragonfly nymphs's.

Techtonic Plate shift over millions of years.. the coconuts were native to the area during the Jurassic period.. Migration of coconuts was much later I believe... Bill not Nye the Science Guy!

Same with Jeeps or other SUVs that are decked out with winches, Jack's, shovels and racks and rarely or never get dirty, but look COOL! 😎
