In comparison to normal human writing, this stuff's positively antipodean.
That would be why Gerard goes for it. I hear their screens scroll the other way, Down Under.

He would. There's a reason Dante located the exit of Hell and the mountain of Purgatory in the Southern Hemisphere...

Hmmm! Dante (1265-1321), Galileo (1564-1642). ;-)

Are you accusing me of not knowing my Dante?

I hadn't thought of it as an accusation, but if you want to take it that way you have that option.
There is considerable doubt that Dante's reference to the other hemisphere is to the southern one. That strikes me as inconsistent with the state of geographical knowledge in the early 14th centure. The suggestion that Dante's exit from hell would be in Antarctica has not basis in fact at ball. Where in the text do you find evidence for this. Antarctica was not discovered until much later.

You're trolling again. He never said /anything/ about Antarctica.

Keep your bullshit to yourself. Did you even bother to look at the article that he mentioned; it makes numerous speculative and uncited comments.
