1. I have to wonder how many of these people

that claim such long histories didn't originally hear the statements from someone that "didn't mean it as a factual statement" and then ran with it. They probably hear the statement and then go to find 'evidence' to support their new sense of history. It is easy to say something in a more sarcastic, metaphorical, imaginative, personal idiocy (this is where I find most of my comments are), etc only to have someone think you really believe what you said. Then depending on what came out of your mouth, and who the audience is, you could be the start of a whole new chapter of world history. I knew one person that thought humans and dinos lived together all because they grew up watching the Flintstones. I’m not sure we ever convinced her that the show was all made up.
