“the appalachian mountains are older than saturn’s rings. the appalachian mountains are older than dinosaurs. the appalachian mountains are older than trees. the appalachian mountains are literally older than BONES. the appalachian mountains should be regarded with pure terror.”


I believe it’s a reference to a John Denver song.


Oh, ha, thanks for pointing that out :)
