"Couldn’t have been a comet. Must have been them Fred Flintstone type SUV’s!"
It was a Comet, a Mercury Comet what did it.

Fireballs set half the planet ablaze, wiping out the mammoth and America's Stone Age hunters
Scientists will outline dramatic evidence this week that suggests a comet exploded over the Earth nearly 13,000 years ago, creating a hail of fireballs that set fire to most of the northern hemisphere.
Primitive Stone Age cultures were destroyed and populations of mammoths and other large land animals, such as the mastodon, were wiped out. The blast also caused a major bout of climatic cooling that lasted 1,000 years and seriously disrupted the development of the early human civilisations that were emerging in Europe and Asia......

Shouldn't that be "Bling"?
Bush’s fault?
Whoa!! An answer finally? What happened 11-12 thousand years ago? Killed the mammoths and rhinos? Created the muck in Alaska with billions of smashed up bodies frozen in the permafrost?
Couldn’t have been a comet. Must have been them Fred Flintstone type SUV’s!
BTW, man 10-15 thousand years ago would have been very similar to modern man. A bath, a suit, and a touch of aftershave and he coulda passed in the finest clubs.
They even made a song about it:
You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain
Too much love drives a man insane
You broke my will, But what a thrill
Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire
I laughed at love ‘cause I thought it was funny
You came along and moved me honey
I’ve changed my mind, this Girl is fine
Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire
[Great Balls Of Fire lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]
Kiss me baby, ooooh feels good
Hold me baby, I’m gonna love you like a lover should
Your fine, so kind
Got to tell this world that your mine mine mine mine
I chew my nails and I twiddle my thumbs
I’m real nervous, but it sure is fun
C’mon baby, you’re driving me crazy
Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire!!
Does ALGORE know about this?

Or KABOOM!

That’s about right for the Araona Crater, but it’s also very close to when our last ice age ended.
Did comet start deadly cold snap?

Good one.
"You guys really ought to do your research."
Please FREEPMAIL me if you want on or off the

Lol!
Izzat one yours?
Well, he could have “passed”, but most likely for a very swarthy individual with a serious digestive problem when it came to milk and milk byproducts.
ROFL!

Yeah, if I’m not mistaken, that’s about when agriculture started.

Wouldn’t it be cool if this happened to California and Mexico ?
So easy to figure it out a cave man could do it.
May I please have about two years advance warning?

Nah...but I had a girlfriend once that had one just like that, but I just don't know where they got that fireball thing.
Just because I’m lactose intolerant, that doesn’t make me a caveman!
My lice might, but not my digestion!
Perhaps the cause of the “Great Flood”?
or even purchase car insurance
Why would a comet explode above the earth?
Sounds a little fishy to me. Like a convenient excuse that cooling and warming are not natural cycles but occur due to outside influences.
Probably exploded when in entered the dense lower atmosphere.
“Why would a comet explode above the earth?”
They are mostly ice...with a bunch of rocks. it gets superheated due to atmospheric friction, some interior ice turns to gas, the gas expands, and it goes kablooey.
Kablooey is a scientific term, and stuff.
Stuff - I understand. I think I can dredge “kerblooey” up from my chemistry classes.
Diamonds are forever..
Who's gonna notify that hillbilly flat earth creationist museum in Tennesee?
Yup, they are that bad!
I am not so sure.
When I see old movies and photographs from the 1950's and before, Americans back then--even apart from clothing, hairstyles, and women's makeup--look different from current Americans.
Some of this could be diet and lifestyle. And some of it could be from mixing in a more diverse gene pool . . .
Still, I dunno. We might have evolved enough over the last 50+ years to be noticeable.
From my personal perspective, Americans, especially the women, got better looking up until the 1990's.
Since then, they seem to be getting uglier.
Ten thousand years from now, scientists will conclude that a comet explosion wiped out spandex and big hair at the end of the 1980s. Humanity will be preceived as vastly better off because of it. :)
Even meteors routinely explode - it’s been actually observed.
I’d like some advanced notice, too.
(Silicon Valley)
Since then, they seem to be getting uglier.
Caused, ironically enough, by something called feminism...
I've seen it. Once.
One in a bazillion, will be a Kablooey! Most break apart from heat.
And of course...”...women and children hit hardest...”
You forgot minorities...

Damn little info about the diamonds. I was going on a hunt.
Jerry Lee Lewis is old enough to have been there to witness it.
