Good point. I certainly wasn't suggesting that the 'missing planet' theory was only 40 years old. Just that this kind of wild hypothesis was common in the 50's, back before real planetary science data was available, and 'continental drift' was crackpot theory. One needs to look back on those pre-space probe days to imagine a 'missing plant' explaination for dinosaur extinction to be a concept for rational discussion. Of course, Pangea hadn't been theorized yet either, so I guess it's a crackpot theory no matter how you look at it! - - Neil Reunite Gondwanaland!
