Johnny And the Bomb
“‘There’s no sense in getting excited about Mrs Tachyon,’ said Kasandra. ‘If she’s really been a bag lady here for years and years, then there’s a whole range of perfectly acceptable explanations without having to resort to far-fetched ones.’ ‘What’s an acceptable explanation?’ said Johnny.

The inhabitants were said to be very long-lived.’ ‘They could breathe underwater?’ ‘Don’t be silly. They sailed away just before it sank, and built Stonehenge and the Pyramids and so on.
