Remember Gondwanaland (not\n: literally, of course)? Continents migrate.\n\nPoint taken - I seem to also recall that in Severian's day, Ocean\nencircled Urth, which would indicate a bit of slippage.\n\nAlso, I...\n\n*** OFF TOPIC ALERT *** OFF TOPIC ALERT *** OFF TOPIC ALERT ***\n\nWhoops. OK, back to the Whorl. Regarding the Whorl's age, or how long\nsince its launch, I seem to remember a letter to Silk from Quetzal in\n\"Caldé\" that bore an actual date: \"30th Nemesis 332\". 332 years since\nlaunch? I have no idea what \"30th Nemesis\" means.\n\n(BTW, I'd also like to see a separate Wolfe Appreciation mailing list\nif such a thing comes to be.)\n\nMay every god favor you,\n\nJ\n_________________\nrevjack at radix.net\n\nQuestions or problems to whorl-owner at lists.best.com"
