http://ncse.com/news/2014/04/mammoth-debate-south-carolina-0015510Part of some kerfuffle about designating the mammoth as the state fossil.
Silly SC Senate. Don't they know that mammoths were created on the 8th day because while God was resting after the taxing work of creating all that stuff he realized that Adam and Eve needed a way to get to church? Later after the mammoths went extinct he created horses to take up the slack.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
