And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Farmer digs up mammoth skeleton in a Michigan soy bean field.
It further appears the skeleton was disarticulated by early humans, and weighted down to sink in a pond. Scientists speculate that they did that to store the meat for later (although it would have to be really cold water to do that).
I dunno about you, but I'm up for a big juicy mammoth burger!
Or a rack of Flintstone style ribs.
ReplyDeleteDozens of specimens were also found in So. Cal. during construction of the Diamond Valley reservoir. Some have been mounted and are on display at the Visitor center museum. Fascinating.

They're surprisingly common. Lots and lots of them dug up every year in Russia.
