re: #7 The Very Reverend Battleaxe of Knowledge
I’ll never forget that made-for-TV movie Mt. St. Helens, with Art Carney playing Harry Truman. The actual eruption was a real hoot—nice red, runny pahoehoe coursing down the streets (!) of Cougar WA….
Scientific ignorance doesn’t come much more WTFITS-y than that.
Have you seen the trailer for the earthquake disaster movie coming out this summer?
I’m pretty sure if that movie had a scientific consultant, they were drunk in the bar the entire time.
