Australian scientists have announced an astounding discovery and made their findings known on Tuesday last in the journal Nature Communications. It seems our world has not just four layers of earthiness, nope, our world has five yes five layers that make up Planet Earth. First off we have us a thin outer shell kind of like an egg shell and that's where all life on Earth inhabits. Next down in a manner of speaking, we have us a "mantle" and that's a viscous liquid rock almost like planetary snot. After our rock snot, we have us an outer core made of iron and nickel and this spinning outer core gives our Earth its magnetic field. Some scientists insist that our Earth's magnetic field is about to switch OR depending on whom you may care to give credence to, is in the process of flipping polarity already. Not much can be done about any of that. Nope. Still further down the old layer routine we have us a "solid inner core" that mostly just sits there being 'inner'. And lastly we have us an "inner inner core" made of tasty creamy vanilla nougat. Who knew... I was as surprised as anyone at that remarkable announcement. It seems that Hrvoge Tkalvcic, a professor of geophysics and his postdoctoral researcher Thanh-son Pham both of Australian National University in Canberra, Australia, devised an Earth model that shows the layers of Planet Earth all the way down to that creamy vanilla nougat. Clearly their discovery needs further research. However, plans are being drawn up to bore down through all of Earth's layers and tap into that creamy vanilla nougat to give a boost to Earth's sweet delights. I'm all for that. Now for Friday machine art without ANY creamy vanilla nougat and we'll just have to make do. For now.

plonk! it is what it is -
I think that if the Ozzies tap into that nougat center, everyone alive on Planet Earth should get at least a taste... 😏
