Auspex Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 The displays sound...vivid! BTW; what's up with this statement? "...excavated from Texas' Big Bend, thought to have been the approximate point of impact of the Yucatan meteor...". Did I miss the memo?

"...excavated from Texas' Big Bend, thought to have been the approximate point of impact of the Yucatan meteor...". Did I miss the memo? don't start on me sir. "approximate" is a term which allows for significant interpretation by those who interpret terms, but i'm pretty sure it's based on a latin bovidae entomology in the cambridge english dictionary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpc Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I had to look at the map of Mexico, and indeed, Houston is more approximalety the meteorite impact site than Big Bend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeD Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I wondered about that, too. I got to see the new layout last month. It looks like it will be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
