I like how Walker says the wood, or splinter, or whatever it was, was above the water table the whole time, so it couldn't have been contaminated by environmental carbon, forgetting that if it never had been exposed to groundwater, it could never have fossilized in the first place.
Who was it who said that with practice she could believe six impossible things before breakfast?
