Martin Luther King, Jr., Geologist
Although other bloggers are using the excuse of Martin Luther King, Jr., Day to assert that this nationalist saint is a patron of their pet causes, whatever they be, I speak with assurance when I say that I have found an aspect of the man’s character hitherto unrealized by the axe-grinding punditry: Martin Luther King, Jr. believed geology holds the key to progress. To prove it, I quote:
Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood.
See? Rocks! And quicksand! This is totally going on my next grant proposal.

Yay! Racial harmony through dewatering and lithification.
Trivia time: What senior black US government figure of the last decade majored in Geology in college?

Lemming – I googled my first guess and was proven correct, impressive until I realised I could only think of two possibles…

Heh, I guessed and googled just like Gengar – but not before I tried to figure out whether or not “Zombie blackface Herbert Hoover!” was a funny answer.
