The Mid Atlantic Ridge caused the Americas and Africa/Europe to move away from each other due to volcanic activity. This theory means that that movement suddenly has to reverse itself! I don't deny that there could be another Pangea one day... but I would assume it would be because the continents had come together through the shrinking of the Pacific Ocean, not the Atlantic.

Then again we're assuming that we haven't had a nuclear war thus causing the entire Earth to be radioactive and scorched! ;) It would certainly make people rethink fighting with one another.

I have relatives in Puerto Rico. I hope they get out in time before Africa and South America squash them. Yikes. I have relatives in Puerto Rico.

This would make the US war a little different. All of the sudden, there'd be boarder to worry about.... Also, would 'outsourcing' really be the appropriate term? I wonder how 'illegal immigration' would change, considering the physical closeness of 3rd world countries to new places. Austraila could still user their 'down under' terminology. :-) England is now the coldest place to live! (Well, if the Antarctic is still uninhabited... or in that case, the new country of Antarctica is founded!) Fun stuff...
