The Toyota Sienna is pretty good, but I don't know if it's a perfect ship.

I heard about this a while back. Probably some very interesting things trapped within the time machine called the Balck Sea.

"Probably some very interesting things trapped within the time machine called the Balck Sea." I expect to be suprised.

The more we uncover the geologic catastrophes of the past, the more fascinating are the results for human history.
Now, if they'd only figure out a way to uncover the secrets of the Sahara when it still had rivers flowing through it.
