Sure... we know that now....... 100 years ago it would be a problem. It's
still a problem now really because I haven't figured out how to do that in
my back yard.... which is why I have to "witch" a well. Can you spell
"aquifer"..... ????

Well, if you stacked all the ice up in winter, you'd have no probs with
water supply in what passes for summer. Simple :-)

Sort of point is, a lot of stuff we don't know how to do today might
fall into the same category in another 100 years, so labelling stuff
impossible unless done by some higher power is kinda silly IMO. Donal's
comments WRT time for evolution are plain dumb. Even molecular
biologists can't guarantee results, the x-over of plant genes to/from
bacteria and virii is really interesting and while people thought it'd
happen, the speed of it happening has been a real eye-opener.
Genengineered plant traits are defining cases.
