Quotepartygoers stumbled across the skull this week, complete with its tusks, buried in sand at Elephant Butte State Park, about 155 miles (250 km) south of Albuquerque... buried in about four feet (1.2 meters) of lake silt.

..."This mastodon find is older than the woolly mammoth that tread the Earth in the Ice Age. ... It probably died on a sandbar of the ancient Rio Grande River,"

...Mastodons were relatives of the elephant that stood 10 feet (3 meters) tall and migrated to North America some 15 million years ago. They ranged across the continent with saber tooth tigers, giant sloths and American camels before becoming extinct about 10,000 years ago.

Morgan said the unusual discovery came to light after some water was drained from the Elephant Butte Lake two weeks ago to provide irrigation for parts of southern New Mexico and Texas.

I'll take the fried chicken, they can keep the whiskey. I don't like Alcohol.

Oh, and I'll take some fries, coleslaw and mashed potatoes with that as well!!!

Last time I was in Kentucky I saw a dead baby bird on the sidewalk outside of a gas station. Someone proceeded to step on it, while wearing new sheos, and continue walking like nothing happened at all...I don't think I desire KFC ever again.

Heh, cornbread is OK, I prefer garlic bread. And of course, for dessert I like their chocolate cake they always package with the meals. KFC might be terrible for you but it tastes so fucking good.

The only thing I like at KFC is their chicken strips. I got 40 the other day, took me three days to eat them. I'm more into Maryland Chicken. Used to love Hardee's chicken but they stopped making it (the one near me) 4 years ago. :'( Might as well just change their name to Carl's Jr which is what they fucking are!
