   A delta is at the end of a river, where it empties into a larger   
   body of water. Twonky wasn't talking about the end of a river. He   
   was talking about a great river being the source for four major   
   rivers that head off in different directions. I defy you to   
   produce even one example of that happening in the real world.

   So people tend to believe. But many of those "more things" turn   
   out to just be imaginary, just like Twonky's beliefs.
