And God saw that His backyard was eroding and blowing away with the wind, and He saw that it was Not Good. So He had a think and He made Grass, so that His backyard should be green and suitable for entertaining guests, and that His soil should not be lost to the wind. And so Grass was created on the 8th day.
There were other little plants to hold the dirt together, like club mosses and stuff. It's quite possible that there was simply more exposed dirt, and thus more erosion and sediment floating about, but that's probably just as well, since dinosaurs and other critters were leaving much bigger fossils that had to be covered in mud and preserved.
With all the megafauna gone these days, you just don't need so much sedimentation.
(Yay backwards logic!)

I'm sure we'll leave plenty of evidence behind... and I daresay the things wondering about the hyoominz will be aliens wondering what the hell happened to this nice little holiday planet they checked out a few million years ago.
I just got to Van Diemen's Land.I'm already up to One Tree Hill, since I skipped ISHFWILF.
Video, not DVD! This was back in the dark ages, remember? And a small town at that.
Alison's first exposure to showGAYship. I remember thinking the bit at the end with the giant bedsheet/cape thing was a bit much.
(But then I was a JF fan at the time.)
And I bet your music teacher didn't play you a tape of himself hitting random notes on a keyboard for you to identify in a test, while confessing that he'd had a few glasses of wine when he recorded it, cos he kept messing up on the tape.
I just got to Van Diemen's Land.
Wait, what? Van Diemen's Land?!
Cool.
Wow, Edge. I know you're not really that nasal...
That's pretty much what I was getting at, yeah.
The fact that it's there... although I suppose you're going to tell me that they/he played it at every Lovetown show, now. Just not used to hearing it live!
It would scare anyone with a sense of logic and normalcy.
Bono wants me to check out his boots, his pants, and hairdo... oh wait, he's talking about Edge.
All the Bono girls in PLEBA would have been disappointed. But all the Edge girls would love it, so there you go. Swings and roundabouts.

I thought that was just his Countree Myewsic voice...
Hey Serena!
How's it going?
What, better than Milo Kerrigan's definitive version?!
Sounds like my Epic U2 Rant of Doooom... which has slid back to the backburner. I'm sure it'll pick up again if I keep reading U2 by U2.
God damn it, stop making me wish I'd gone to those shows!!
... I think I'm missing something here... are Taswegians supposed to sound more nasal than most Australians? If you're going for a nasal hickish accent, I would have thought you'd be better off in far-inland rural NSW or QLD...
Hey Ali!
Not bad, though I'm freezing my arse off now.
Happy belated birthday, by the way! And how are you?
I'm pretty good for 30 
Had a couple of great meals over the last couple of days. 
I think my dad got a lot of it at school when he was a kid, so they're more the classic sort of thing. He's read a few to us and they're very cool... can't think of any specific useful information, like which poets.
Well, I won't feel too bad about missing that crazy Petecostal pastor version, then...

Not that I'm that keen to hear Edge sounding like that, but it still would have been cool.
Hard to imagine that at a Zoo show!

I'm pretty cold too, considering it's supposed to be nearly summer here.
Thank you!
ASSver!
How goes it?

... Did Bono just ask the sound guys to turn his mike/guitar DOWN?
*considers linking you to various social action websites*
They thought JF was too dangerous for 12-year-old Alison, so fair point. However, with every factoid about those shows, they get more firmly cemented in the top destination for my time machine, whenever it materialises from the future.
Well, yes... I didn't hang around in Tasmania long enough to investigate that properly. Although Queenstown was creepy enough to be in Deliverance.
