Line 41:
Line 41: − # The plentiful supply of high concentrations of underground well water, which would be expected based on familiar principles of [[entropy]] to dissipate over a long period of time.

, 18:43, August 26, 2011→Geology: This is ridiculous. Entropy has NOTHING to do with ground water.
