"In 1912, employees at an electric plant broke apart a large chunk of coal out of which fell an iron pot!""In any case, these examples - and there are many more - should prompt any curious and open-minded scientist to reexamine and rethink the true history of life on earth"Yes, someone's early 20th century prank should cause our best and brightest scientific minds to rethink the true history of the planet.
