I don’t think people were simply stupid back then. A meteor would have killed the beast if they were in range of the shrapnel.

a dust cloud that blacked out the sun over the entire state and surrounding areas, killing most of the life in the area.

Extremely not likely. The sun is gone for half the year in Interior Alaska every year and the same stupid gray jays, ravens, and rabbits are still there in the spring.

So, it obviously didn’t hit in Britain? They still don’t use flouride everywhere over here and yet they bitch about their reputation for bad teeth! Tee Hee! said by a white-toothed-adorable-smiled American :-)

LOL! When I worked for the BIA in Juneau years ago, some construction company called and wanted to know where Allakaket (Al-a-KAK-it)was. Believe it or not, I was able to tell them. Don’t ask me now, though... (I plead the ravages of old age and the curse of sobriety)

There are plenty of round lakes in Alaska. A not-round lake is probably on the North Slope where prevailing wind causes erosion in a preferential direction, elongating the lakes, most all of them up there.

You don’t think they might have banned lead shot back in the days of Alley Oop for fear the mammoths might have been poisoning themselves eating the stuff??

Not to mention all of the round “lakes” in areas like the Kenai Peninsula that are believed to have formed when big chunks of retreating glaciers broke off, depressed the ground, melted and voila! A round lake!

Iron FILLINGS? Iron fillings? Maybe the mammoths had a cheap dental plan. How did the dentist get the beast to hold still?

Were they from Alabama since it's pronounced Al-a-BAM-a? :=)
