3. Hey, the Creation Science headquarters are in San Diego aren't they?

Just off the 8 frwy? I can't wait to hear their explanation!

4. Was it...

SATAN? ::echo echo echo: Who left that fossil there to fool all of God's good people?

5. Wooly mammoths were often employed at prehistoric car-washes.

I saw it in a docu-dramedy called "The Flintstones."

7. The Ice Age Affected Temperatures Pretty Far South

obviously the mammoth didn't need to live on a glacier or the frozen tundra.

What gets me is that dinosaur fossils have been found in northern Alaska.

8. We dig all the time in NYC, and we never find a mammoth.

I don't know if that's fair.

and commuted to Manhattan. :evilgrin:

9. ... and they found it at the thrift store!

You never what you'll find in those places.

10. Is this a tar pit thing?

I don't know much about San Diego but I do know that L.A. is home to the La Brea Tarpits and it is a virtual treasure trove of pre-historic remains:

11. I misread it as they were thrift shopping and found the tusk.

And I was thinking to myself, "Jesus, the things that people just throw away".
