It seems that sulfuric-acid speleogenesis is now a 100% mainstream
idea; it's gotten into game shows! I watched "Jeopardy" yesterday. The
episode had a category "Welcome to Carlsbad Caverns." It had questions on
the stalactites, cave swallows, bats, etc. The $2,000 item: "the cave was
formed by this acid... ["H2SO4" shown on screen]." One contestant gave
the correct response, "What is sulfuric acid?" (Of course, a right answer
would have been more impressive if they hadn't shown the formula.)
