It is sad. I seldom enjoy reading about these lost animals and others like them, especially those animals that suffered extinction at the hands of Man: moas, dodos, giant sloths, the 23 other species of pronghorn, mammoths, and so on.
The Flat Earth Society bases their science on the clear word of the Bible, and no evidence to the contrary can be entertained or perhaps even understood. Just like creationists and evolution.
Poor guy that found these. He "handed" the coins over to the authorities. Did he really have a choice? And how many of these coins will wind up in some private "museum" in a Swiss bank vault?
Yay! My already swollen head is now even more swollen with pride and puffery! (Though I will admit to economic conservatism.)
As for "evil"ution: Which is more credible:
1) More complex forms of life have evolved from simpler forms over hundreds of millions of years, and that the scientific evidence totally backs this up;
or
2) A supernatural being that is all powerful and knowing, who has no beginning and no end, and who, though male, is the only one of its kind, suddenly created all life as it exists now, and left zero evidence behind for all of this?
Only those who had no idea of what was going on are innocent. Everyone else facilitated their crooked bosses plans. Or should I say "aided and abetted"?
I hope that Right-to-Lifers read this article. They should march en masse on Washington and demand that Republicans stop blocking jobs bill, healthcare reform, unemployment extensions, and other stressors.
No human contact? The internet has reintroduced me to old friends, allowed contact with distant relatives, and meeting a host of interesting "Cyber-acquaintances", some of whom have become real-life friends.
As for the salespeople, I'd rather click and order than have to deal with a surly teen picking at the nest of blackheads on his nose-tip any day.

Here is another one. I think that it is prettier:

"Republican Sen. Jim Bunning's (R-KY) insistence on blocking the extension of unemployment benefits for Americans across the nation"
Better to use those tax dollars to subsidize yachts and mansions.
Ooooo...he's so smart. Maybe he should transfer to the DEA and pull all the opium poppies out of old women's gardens. The DEA needs more good men.
And did women in the 1930s still wear clothing like that? Or is she a ghost released from her grave by the earthquake.
