ok, I felt this one and asked my wife if she did, She said no. I reported another one once and was the only one in the area to do so. I think when I built my house on top of granite has something to do with this.
Elberton, Georgia is the “Granite Capital of the World about 18 to 20 miles away.

I hope they send the Seaview to check it out.

Admiral Nelson and Captain Crane will know what to do.

Kowalski and Sharkey will go out and investigate it in the Flying Sub.

Did Michael Moore fall down again?

Yes, but that’s the case with practically every science article these days. I just ignore any such fake implications and focus on the rest of the story.

There was a FR thread awhile back (with pics) of a island of pumice in the Pacific Ocean.

Thanks. Found this just now...

Huge Pumice ‘Island’ Floats in Pacific

By Megan Gannon, Live Science Contributor

An “island” of floating pumice rocks bigger in area than Israel has been spotted in the South Pacific, New Zealand’s Royal Navy said.

Officers on a Royal New Zealand Air Force ship saw the rock raft southwest of Raoul Island yesterday (Aug. 9). It measures an astounding 300 miles (482 kilometers) in length and more than 30 miles (48 km) in width, the Navy said.”

So do I ... mostly. Not knocking you or even this particular article. Just airing my disgust with NatGeo which was a good publication once upon a time.

[Since mid-July, GPS stations on the island have tracked it sliding more than 2.4 inches to the east and 1.2 inches to the south, according data from Institut National de L’information Géographique et Forestière. Using these measurements, Pierre Briole of the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris estimated that a magma body that measures about a third of a cubic mile is squishing its way through the subsurface near Mayotte.]
