See! Global Warming drowned the mammoths!
It prolly fell through the ice one day, I saw the movie iceage.
Now that is a SERIOUS increase in sea levels, nothing like the tenths of an inch that gets liberal panties all wadded up today.
So, the takeaway here is that mammoths were amphibians.
In centuries past, most of the mammoth tusks found were turned into ivory jewelry.
Kids, this is why you wait an hour after eating before you go swimming!

Itsa stupid walrus tusk. NEXT!
(No. No.)
See, give it a day or two and a FR thread just appears out of nowhere.
Before you know it, no more secrets!
Mammuthus columbi. Sounds like a pretty big dove.
Funny as yesterday I was looking at the town of Monterey on the map. I noticed a street by the aquarium named David, but I didn't know why it was named David and didn't check. It must have been important because it came right back today from another direction entirely.
Because of this article I looked up this Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute. It's further north along Monterey Bay. Wiki sez...
"The Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) is a private, non-profit oceanographic research center in Moss Landing, California. MBARI was founded in 1987 by David Packard,.."
...In 1939, Packard and Hewlett established Hewlett-Packard (HP) in Packard's garage with an initial capital investment of $538 (equivalent to US$10,010 in 2020).[4][6] Packard mentions in his book The HP Way that the name Hewlett-Packard was determined by the flip of a coin: HP, rather than PH.

Hah "PH" would have made people think of the scale of 1 to 14, from acid to base. Or over here as Beis (bayit) 14, Base David. The House of David.
Well isn't this all about computing anyway? :)
Can you believe it all started with a sum of 538? Same as the Bat Kol, the Voice of God.
Why do I pay attention to this stuff? Example: all I did just now was follow the interesting clue trail about David (which anyone could do), and then that 538 dollar investment inspired me to take another look at the "Bat Kol" page (maybe it's been a couple of years).
The little picture at the top then informed me, "Ezekiel hears the voice.."
It's always nice to get instant feedback!
It gets better because on this most excellent history adventure I discovered that the "Birthplace of Silicon Valley" is in fact, the house of David.
In a recent post I had asked if I were going to get class credit for all this stuff.
When I saw just now that the house across the street is number 358 ("Messiah"), I checked the street view (hey I never know!).
Says right on the fence in front of the door, "Class of 2021."
I suppose that answers my question. ;)

That tusk is long in the tooth
And are found in the shallow Gulf waters off of the West coast of Florida.
It was a mammoth undertaking to recover it.
