Haven't I heard this somewhere not too long ago ?...


Just saw Star Trek yesterday... Spock says it to, I think, Kirk.

According to a well hidden article in Wikipedia, mammoths were actually hunted for their wool. Before the advent of mass production, humans hunted down entire mammoth herds to collect their fibers (cattle breeding was not invented yet). It was used to weave a ceremonial cloth that was warm and absorbant, quite useful in those hard times. It was called the Mam-Wow.
This caused the extinction of the mammoths.

Nice for you to feel that you are so sure of this. I'm glad that we have a thing called science which hasn't made up a totally satisfying theory yet, and therefor doesn't jump to conclusions.

I think it was a joke...mam-wow...sham-wow....
I got it!
Damn this strong weed, I read over the Mam-Wow when I replied. And the response was actually more towards rychan with whom I'd been having this debate.

As HollywoodBob said, they are washed away from streets or coastal areas. also a lot of is from the ships that traverse the Pacific ocean. Over the short 40-50 years of plastic history, all those ships that went around the Pacific ocean pretty much just dumped all the garbage they produced while traveling into the ocean, since it is a "vast" place. What people over that period failed to realize till recent;y is that the "North Pacific Subtropical Gyre" formed by all the currents around Pacific ocean have pushed all the trash into one location forming the "great garbage patch". Since the only way for these man made polymers to degrade is UV ray from the sun over a long long exposure.(No microbes can break down plastic yet) being in the water shielded most of it from UV ray making it takes even longer to photodegrade.

To me it's not clear how this garbage actually leaves the dumps and ends in the ocean. It's not just stuff left on the beach that's pulled by the waves. It's not just stuff thrown overboard by seamen. It must be transported and conveniently dumped in the ocean while no one is looking. Probably the cheapest way to get rid of garbage, and it's been going on a large scale for decades. Ships travel between Asia and America with marchandise on one way, and have to be filled with something on their return. I wonder if half of all the plastic bottles sent to China for recycling ever get there.
