“Evidence of New World’s oldest decapitation found”

WTF do they teach in journalist school these days?

How about “New Word’s oldest evidence of decapitation found”?

SINCE WE DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE FIRST FRIGGING DECAPITATION OCCURED!!!!!!!!

Beam me up, Scotty. There is no intelligent life here.

And yes I spelled “World” wrong in my haste. :-)

Acapitation, b-capitation, and c-capitation didn't do the job. Thanks BenLurkin.

I agree with the previous poster who said this exerpt is clear as mud.

The actual research article says right in the abstract that the decapitation occurred as part of "mortuary rituals". He was dead already when they took his head off. link

Looks like the loser in some forgotten inter-tribal battle.

Wait, the New World had wars between Indians? The liberals said they were pure and peaceful without conflicts. /s

The Libs forgot that the Caribs attacked the Tainos and the Arawaks and had them for dinner.

“And I must say it would “enhance cooperation within a community” as the article proposes. “

It probably took a few members of the community to get it done.

Mans favorite sport has been threw out history killing his fellow man.

Hey — that struggle has always been the have-nots rising up against the haves. /s

Yes, I agree. My family was Norman, at least as the story goes, so we had not England. This was unfair because Willy was promised it.

What was even more unfair was the heathen Celts in Wales didn't know the Correct Date of Easter so unfair, so we occupied the Vail Of Glamorgan, so they had not an incorrect date to Celebrate the Resurrection.

;’) The British parts of my ancestry appear to be deep Anglo-Saxon (literally, near the Mercia-Wessex interface), and I suspect Celtic, with possible leavening from the wild assortment brought in during Roman times; the Welsh (not sure which kingdom, and for that matter, not sure that’s even true, but then, who would lie about it? That branch vanishes into undocumented a mere four gens back, but I haven’t tried that hard); the Scots (plus I suspect their Pict predecessors, plus another little taste of Roman variety); the Irish; beyond that, could be more.

The only reason I got interested was I wanted to be a part of the oppressed masses slaving away as a serf for an evil frog overlord. I had low self esteem at the time.

After doing some research I found we were the were the evil Frogs and spent our time in England as land owners, merchants, and tradesmen, what a let down.
