How To be A Geologist (The Easy Way)
I had planned to do a Friday Non-Lifeform post today, about how much more there is to know about Antarctic shield geology and the seismology of the Antarctic pensinsula, particularly in the light of icecap build up and melting marginal icesheets.
But I have to be at the hospital today so it’ll have to wait.
I’d like to make it clear I’m not a geologist, or a marine biologist (though I’m obsessed with squid) – I just play at being one via the wonders of the internet. If there was some place you could convert lawyering into scientific competence automagically, I’d be there. But there isn’t, so I have to make do. Luckily I have the internets to show me how, but it looks like i’m shit out of luck on the number one criterion….
Real Geologists…
…don’t eat quiche. They don’t even know what it is. Real geologists like raw meat, beer and tonsil-killer chili.
…don’t need rock hammers. They break samples off with their bare hands.
