Heck, I was expecting to read an article about prehistoric dentistry.

Caveman buckshot?

It was the evil Clovis Shotgun. It wiped out all Pleistocene megafauna in North America eventually. Such weapons in the hands of unprincipled peons without Al Gore, Ted Kennedy and Charles Schumer to regulate their behavior always leads to disaster.

Even as we speak, Elmer Keith is telling God he should have used a bigger meteor.

[RDTF]

very interesting!

[shuckmaster]

I recently finished reading that book. Very interesting!

Mammoth dentistry.

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Although informed on many things, Rush has said nothing about ‘young skulls full of tusk.’

In mammoth dental schools, instructors drilled the lessons into students’ heads, then tried to extract it with tests.

The failure of one mammoth oral surgery at the North Pole led to the creation of the Arctic Cap. Al Gore was so steamed he could hardly polar bear it.

And the Dental Assistants were Lab Radors.

*yawn* I’m filing my nails as we speak.

I would like to commend the government scientists for deciding that this lake is an impact crater. Is there any way that it can be blamed on Bush? Cheney? Halliburton? Global Warming?

"Also, is there any truth to the rumor started right here, that the old Fleetwood Mac song "TUSK" was a veiled tribute to Republican Dentists living in Tuskegee, Alabama?"

I'm a big Fleetwood Mac fan and I've never heard that one before.

That post deserves a prize.

Beware making sober replies to serial punsters.

“And the Dental Assistants were Lab Radors.”

And I bet they all had attractive canines.

(Sad, how a mammoth thread like this is going to the dogs).

Thanks for the ping!

[SunkenCiv]

I hope there’s a sequel, regarding the earlier waves of material, but it could easily fall to other researchers to flesh it out.

It can be heavy sledding for Mammoth's Best Friend, especially if they are thirsty and their tongues stick to the woof of their mouths.

Having read most of the book, I would like to point out that tusks were found in other areas that were also peppered with iron bits. In addition, when the authors went to various Clovis sites to try to determine if the Clovis people were killed off by a comet crash, they ran a strong magnet up and down the sides of the excavation cuts. Large numbers of iron particles were attracted right at the Clovis level, and much less before and after. This test was done at a number of Clovis sites, and also at the Carolina Bays, always with the same results. The book is quite interesting for those with a scientific turn of mind, as they go into great detail as to how and where they conducted their rather convincing research.

“woof of their mouths.”

Now you’re barking up the wrong tree. To imply dogs have woofers is way off bass.

[SunkenCiv]

Well put.
