1. Evidence included a crude automobile made out of stone, wood and rawhide

as well as the fossilized skeleton of a tiny elephant wearing an apron, trunk poised over a pile of dirty dishes.

[hifiguy]

11. I think they found....

:rofl: What an ultra-maroon.

[geardaddy]

13. Not only the skeleton, but a recording of the tiny elephant saying:

"It's a living."

[librechik]

18. lol

[Yavin4]

15. More. They Discovered What Looks Like An Old Quarry

and sign that says "Slate Rock and Gravel".

[librechik]

19. YYYYYAbbaDabbaDOOOOO!!!

[Hassin Bin Sober]

21. And it's not "Texas" it's "Texarock" and Sand Andstonio

[provis99]

24. Texans, meet the Texans, they're the modern stone age family!

2. I like the "formally remote caverns"

That article had to be written by a teabagger.

[MineralMan]

4. Dressed in prehistoric tuxedos and evening gowns, I guess.

Nice caves!

[MineralMan]

3. That's just wrong. The whole universe is only 6000 years old.

The dinosaurs were wiped out 4000 years ago in Noah's flood, so this article is dead wrong about the dinosaur age. Stupid people should read The Holy Bible. King James Version, of course, in the true language of God - 17th Century English!

So there. :rofl:

[dtexdem]

8. After all, if English was good enough for Jesus Christ ...

it's good enough for us. ;-)

[MineralMan]

17. Freakin'-A!

[sakabatou]

5. Please tell me that 's a typo

[HereSince1628]

6. Worse, than that...

the site is near an --early texas settlement-- named for an Indian chief who moved there in --1934--!!!!!!

[sakabatou]

7. *facepalm*

The stupid! It burns!

[johnd83]

9. Wow... just wow...

:yoiks:

[dtexdem]

10. There IS an issue of sites being uncovered by the drought.

And some of those sites may have native artifacts from 8000 years ago.

And newly-found dinosaur fossils have been reported recently.

And somebody reporting is very, vary mixed up about it all.

By accident, stupidity, or on purpose?

[geardaddy]

12. Gah.

[Javaman]

14. They must have corrected it, because "dinosaur" part appears no where in the article. nt

[HereSince1628]

20. Well it was fun while it lasted...

[KamaAina]

16. That's a sports blog

and we all know what happens when sportswriters/radio jocks tackle off-the-field issues, with a few refreshing exceptions like KO and Dan Patrick. :eyes:

[pinboy3niner]

22. Well, SOMEBODY didn't get the memo!1!!

But there's another delicious nugget in the story that suggests the Texas textbook re-writers and the legislators who enabled them may not be so untouchable after all:

So far, law enforcement has arrested 30 people for committing the crimes against history. Each was fined thousands of dollars and placed on probation.

:)

[provis99]

23. but Texas textbooks say the earth is only 6,000 years old!

[Beam Me Up]

25. Ian think of a few people I'd like to see them arrest for committing

"crimes against history."

[justabob]

26. indeed

"crimes against history" jumped out at me too. That is something I have never heard before, but I like it. Sadly there are way too many people who are committing crimes against history. Sigh.
