gonna build a mountain from a little hill
a sensational piece of news caught my eye in la repubblica:
Roma, 16:15
CNR: MAR ROSSO, POTREBBE DIVENTARE UN OCEANO
In un giorno lontano qualche milione di anni, il mar Rosso potrebbe diventare un oceano.
wow! the cnr is the consiglio nazionale delle ricerche - the italian national scientific research council - and they've stumbled across a good one this time. the article says that the red sea "could become", in a "few million years time", an ocean. now that's putting your professional reputation on the line, right?
mrg: the manho research group
inspired by the guys over at the cnr, i've set up a manho research council myself and we've come up with these startling facts:
the cotswolds:
the delightful group of hills in gloucestershire, england will almost certainly develop into a range of mountains several hundred times larger than the himalayas:
and this waterfall:
near ambleside, in the lake district, will become a furious swirling torrent on the scale of niagara falls:
urban constructions won't escape the mind numbing ecological turnarounds, either. studies show that sac city, iowa:
will balloon into a mega-metropolis with a population (28,000,000) similar to that of mexico city:
and if you think that's sensational, wait till you see what's in store for the humble sparrow:
yes, an eco cataclysm will turn this friendy bird into a sweating woolly mammoth.
and one last piece of news is more startling than all the rest put together. studies reveal that the scientific research team at the cnr:
will almost certainly - possibly within a matter of months - morph into a completely different social group altogether:
