Greetings,

Thank you, scalyblue - I'd tried with a bit too much of the part after the question mark and couldn't get them to work.

Next time...!

Kindest regards,

James

Exquisite, So, around 15,640 Cubic Km of water took two weeks to form a 300 mile canyon with a volume of 4170 Cubic Km, agree?

No. Much of the sediment that was removed started life saturated in water.

And some of the space in the GC today was not carved by water.

What was it carved by?

 

[Prolescum]

What was it carved by?

Merry pranksters. 1887 was a great year for sculpt comedy.

 

[CommonEnlightenment]

What was it carved by?

High powered laser beam from the planet Vulcan.

 

[scalyblue]

It was obviously the Xindi

I think Mr. Trolly McTrollington (aka Stripe) has had enough to eat now... We should hide the rest of our food...

FINALLY! Someone who isn't afraid to tell the truth about the "Vulcan Lazer" hypothesis!

What was it carved by?

It wasn't carved. Upon removal of the top layers, the centre of the "funnel" buckled upwards under gravity creating a long crack. The canyon within the canyon.

Yeah, because this is totally what that would look like. :roll:

No. That's what a large, slower moving body of water carves. This is what I'm talking about.

Cool story bro.

I'm not quite sure that picture is enough. Please post some more.

I confess, I dunnit. It was me. In the Canyon. With the claw hammer. Sometime back in 1886 IIRC.

The mystery is solved. Thanks for trying, Stripe, better luck next time.

I can confirm this, I was there and saw the whole thing, it was Squawk. I even took come pictures but I can't post them because children visit this site.

Found it.

AHAM. Clearly, here in the photo I posted (Which was too big to use IMG code, sorry Stripe I know you're too lazy to click) that Squawk and a band of sailors carved out the grand canyon. This is clearly a conspiracy with the US Navy, but since the Grand Canyon is clearly rather empty, the plan failed. It's all clearly very clear.

Wait what?

The photo Anachronous Rex linked to is a picture of the Grand Canyon. How can that photo be of "what a large, slower moving body of water carves" when you are claiming that the Grand Canyon was formed by "removal of the top layers, the centre of the "funnel" buckled upwards under gravity creating a long crack"?

Oh yeah, and this.

You owe me the two mins it took to wipe up the drink I spat out!

No, it's not. It's from the San Juan. A few hundred kilometers upstream.

EDIT: Wait - sorry. I was thinking of the image posted on page 1. I'm guessing both images are from the San Juan, but Rex's is labelled "The Grand Canyon".
ANOTHER EDIT: Rex's image is from just north of the funnel.

That was under a draining lake. The funnel was where the lake breached.
