Engineer Brown first got alarmed when he heard that woolly mammoths had been found frozen in Siberia. Their healthy appearance and the good cold-storage quality of their flesh indicated, he says, that they must have been "quick-frozen" like Birdseye peas...

Then, to balance the mass of the ice, slightly off center, the earth toppled over. The oceans sloshed out of their beds. When things quieted down, the earth was a sad mess, rotating on a new axis.
