   Bad URL link.

   Barry, your link to USGS is busted — try http://www.nps.gov/history/history/online_books/geology/publications/bul/1508/images/fig61.jpg

   1981? What’s the matter, markets keeping you from sleeping at night?

   This is the absolute last place I would have ever expected to see this.

   Thanks for keeping the unexpected as a standard part of the site.

   OK, so not busted. Funny, the first time I clicked on it, it 404′d.

   Oh. Looking at the timestamp, I musta clicked on it as it was in the process of being posted.

   We should send this to Bernanke. Perhaps he’d issue the USG 6 billion year bond, with a derivative-based radioactive half-life option.

   Perhaps that downward spiral should go in the opposite direction?
