And between missionaries and colonization, all these other cultures picked up on that original biblical flood tale.

I don't know if we should call it a flood myth or flood tale at this point.

What should we call it?

Okay, diluvian myth.

That sounds a little more academic.

So yeah, so Christian missionaries did this.

And I think this is also evidence in the fact that the South Pacific didn't really have one until 1814 when they came into contact with Christian missionaries.

And then all of a sudden they had the Maori flood myths.

Indeed.

I think we should take a break.

And I'm going to go blow my nose.

Okay.

And then we'll come back and talk about geomythology right after this.

It was thick.

You know what's funny?

I was listening to – I don't know why I just thought of this, but I was listening to Paul F. Tompkins –

stay of homekins podcast he does with his wife janie the other day and he was talking about sneezing on stage and that that had happened to him once in his career and paul is someone who spent lots and lots and lots of time on stages and i wonder if there's something to that of the body withholding things like sneezes because i've never seen anyone sneeze on stage i've never sneezed on stage yeah

That's what I was thinking.

I mean, there's got to be something to that.

We got to put on a great show.
