Are you implying that coconuts migrate?

[Kellis91789]

Coconuts float, so who’s to say that they weren’t blown from trees during storms and carried by the currents to other parts of the world ?

For the record, these researchers are total amateurs. Not one tie in to global warming. How the heck are they ever going to get additional funding, get invited to all the cool parties or be eligible for a Nobel prize?

The coconut (the fruit of the palm Cocos nucifera) is the Swiss Army knife of the plant kingdom; in one neat package it provides a high-calorie food, potable water, fiber that can be spun into rope, and a hard shell that can be turned into charcoal.

Not to mention it makes a handy bra in a pinch.

Back in high school days my buddies and I used to camp on Ragged Key off of Miami. We decided to extend one trip a couple of extra days and only had money for beer or food, not both.

We made the run across the bay to a marina, bought the beer and lived coconuts, beer and lobsters for a couple of days.

Actually, ancient typhoons in the Pacific picked up whole coconut trees, swirled them upwards to 35,000 feet where the jet stream and El Nino deposited them in Peru where they were loaded onto llamas and sold at retail prices throughout South America. This is how the Incas got rich and established their empire.

Also pre-historic Pacific tsunamis pick up whole coastal beaches full of coconut groves and sent them all the way to Guatemala.

Also, pre-prehistoric pterodactyls also flew by island hopping the Pacific island chains, thereby establishing nests everywhere and feeding their baby pterodactyls lots of coconuts which they would break open with their powerful beaks. Sometimes they would uproot whole coconut trees, fly over the nest and shake off the coconuts into their baby pterodactyls` mouths.

They also helped America through 'The Great Depression' by making people laugh for a while.

FDR's Great Depression not Obama's

It is interesting the amount of intercultural contact and pre-Columbian trade that existed before Europeans ‘discovered’ the New World.
