Farmer Wants to Sell Mammoth Skeleton

http://www.physorg.com/news93162847.html
A 76-year-old Kenosha County man in whose cornfield the skeleton of a mammoth believed to be about 12,500 years old was dug up in 1994 is interested in selling it, and officials of the Milwaukee Public Museum are interested in it. "I'm just looking for some funds for my grandkids' college," John Hebior said the possible sale of the skeleton now in 15 large wooden crates and four plastic tubs in the basement of his farmhouse five miles west of Somers.

Milwaukee Public Museum president Dan Finley said the Hebior mammoth would look great standing in the atrium of the natural history museum.

If all works well, a fiberglass replica of the skeleton would be on display while the actual skeleton would be kept off display for further research.

"I want something jaw-dropping" to greet visitors, Finley said. "We very much would like to acquire the actual bones."

Experts have suggested the bones could be worth from between $100,000 to $500,000........(That could cover some college - Go to web site above for whole story.....)

Doesn't quite equal the Mike the Headless Chicken..... great story!!!!!!!

April 20, 2005—Making his public debut last week at the Bristol Zoo Gardens, Kintana is the United Kingdom's first captive-bred aye-aye lemur—and only the second in history to be reared by humans (his mother wasn't very motherly). Even at this tender age, Kintana brandishes outlandish adaptations for survival in lemurs' only native home, the African island of Madagascar. In the forest the aye-aye's batlike ears can detect insect larvae squirming inside trees. A bark-breaking bite from tough incisors and a subsequent probe with a long, bony second digit seals the meal.......

Wild boar struck on Springville Highway

Friday, March 16, 2007 4:31 PM EDT

WILD BOAR: Joe Houser of Hudson and his friend Andrew Roan shot a wild boar on Jan. 25 just outside Hudson in Hillsdale County. — Submitted photo Lenawee County is one of 39 counties in the state in which hunters holding any valid game license are allowed to shoot any wild boar they see through March 31.

CAMBRIDGE TWP. — Bethany Brown was driving along Springville Highway south of M-50 late Tuesday night when she saw a black blur run from the side of the road and run into the side of her pickup.

Whatever it was dented the bumper, hit the wheels and damaged the driver’s side door frame so the door wouldn’t open. By the time she stopped to check the damage after the 11:43 p.m. crash, she was well past where the animal — maybe a coyote or a dog? — hit her. She called her father to come to the scene. He found the deceased animal and told her to call the police to tell them she had hit a wild boar.

“You hit a what?” was the dispatcher’s response, Brown, of Onsted, said Thursday. The deputy who came to the scene said the same thing, as have her friends.

Peruvian Citadel Is Site Of Earliest Ancient Solar Observatory In The Americas

Science Daily — Archeologists from Yale and the University of Leicester have identified an ancient solar observatory at Chankillo, Peru as the oldest in the Americas with alignments covering the entire solar year, according to an article in the March 2 issue of Science.

Read all of article at the above web site.....




Recorded accounts from the 16th century A.D. detail practices of state-regulated sun worship during Inca times, and related social and cosmological beliefs. These speak of towers being used to mark the rising or setting position of the sun at certain times in the year, but no trace of the towers has ever been found. This paper reports the earliest structures that support those writings.
At Chankillo, not only were there towers marking the sun's position throughout the year, but they remain in place, and the site was constructed much earlier -- in approximately the 4th century B.C.

Archaeological Remains Point To Exact Location Of Second Temple Of Jerusalem

Science Daily — While scholars have put forth various assessments for the location of the Second Temple in Jerusalem, a Hebrew University of Jerusalem professor says that archaeological remains that have so far been ignored by scholars point to the exact location, which is in a spot that differs from prevailing opinion.

Drawing (Temple 1) shows Prof. Patrich's description of the location of the Temple compound (the rectangle defined by a solid line in the center of the drawing). (Drawing by Leen Ritmeyer)

Source: The Hebrew University of Jerusalem Date: February 13, 2007
The location identified by Prof. Joseph Patrich of the Hebrew University Institute of Archaeology places the Temple and its corresponding courtyards, chambers and gates in a more southeasterly and diagonal frame of reference than have earlier scholars.......

This one is the MOST amazing story on here. Prophetically....its a HUGE one.

If this is true, then they can build the Third Temple and not disturb the mosque (which is keeping them from building it now and would start a war if they did).

This is a big one folks.

But it won't mean beans to the Muslims,they will go insane(or more insane) if the Jews get any closer!

This WEEK in the European Union

16.03.2007 - 17:29 CET | By Honor Mahony
EUOBERVER / WEEKLY AGENDA (19 - 25 March) - The EU's 50th birthday falls on Sunday 25 March this week with preparations on how to celebrate it, and minute speculation about what exactly will be in the official birthday declaration to mark the occasion, set to dominate the coming days.

The date marks the signing of the Treaty of Rome the precursor to the modern-day European Union.

The day itself is to be marked by celebrations across the 27-nation bloc with Berlin - due to the German EU presidency - to be the centre-point of the festivities.

EU leaders will arrive in Berlin on Saturday evening for a dinner and concert. Sunday morning will see the official ceremony marking the anniversary of the Rome Treaty and according to the provisional time plan, Chancellor Angela Merkel would like to have the whole thing wrapped up by 2pm CET when the final press point conference is scheduled.

However, the run-up to it is unlikely to be entirely without controversy. A state-of-the-union declaration being drawn up by Berlin to mark the occasion is the focus of some keen interest with governments lining up over the past months to say what should or should not be in it.

For its part, Berlin has been playing its cards close to its chest, giving only an indication of the general layout of the document.

A gathering of 200 young people will meet in Rome for a youth summit mirroring its older - and perhaps less idealistic - counterpart in the German capital. It begins on Friday and is set to produce its own declaration summing up the EU as they see it.......

For the rest of the article read above web site....

At Thailand's Tiger Temple, beware the naughty ones

By Russell Blinch
KANCHANABURI, Thailand (Reuters Life!) - The monk in his flowing orange robe looked the picture of serenity as he walked along the path holding the giant tiger by a leash.
The gaggle of tourists that thronged behind him was understandably giddy at the chance of being up close and personal with one of the world's most magnificent, and dangerous, beasts.
The adult tiger was the last of about dozen that had been led down to a small rock canyon where they would bask in the sun and take part in very different kind of photo opportunity.

The Wat Pa Luangta Bua Yannasampanno, or Tiger Temple, is a petting zoo with a difference.
Tourists are flocking to the temple northwest of Bangkok to pet, and even cuddle, the great striped beasts. They can also have their pictures taken with each tiger to prove their bravery.
"The monastery is not only for man but for all animals who seek the peacefulness," reads the Buddhist temple's brochure.
The monastery was set up in 1994 by abbot Pra Acharn Phoosit (Chan) Khantitharo with the aim of promoting Buddhism and conserving forests and wildlife....
