Now in that gif-link he posts, ask George what separates the North
American Plate from the South American Plate east of the Caribbean, and
why is the Indo-Australian Plate sometimes shown as two, ..and what's
that funny set of dotted lines doing up in the top left corner of the
image. Then when he answers that, ask him why the Antarctic plate down
the bottom is so big. And if he has an answer, ask him why they insist
on working on flat maps when the Earth is round. Then ask him why his
head is so flat, and he didn't come to Stuart's rescue here:-

Did you manage to see any plates sliding over? Or just ones sliding
under?
