  • EdDiggEd, on 06/25/2009, -1/+11Anyone else read this as:
    "10,500-Year-Old Well, Found Along With Skeleton"

    So I'm thinking wow, congrats to the supercentemilienarian.
    I'm glad that he's well, but what the heck is he doing with that skeleton?

  • stuffradio, on 06/25/2009, -0/+9This joke gets old every single time.
  • funkytaco, on 06/25/2009, -6/+14Well
  • OblivionMage, on 06/25/2009, -6/+14</logic>

    The earth is only 6000 years old, so I'm calling shenanigans.

    FTA:
    "Radiocarbon dating found the well is between 9,000 to 10,500 years old"

    Again with the 1,500 year range. How can people believe these scientists who can't even make up on their mind on a time? Just pick a year and stick with it.

    Oh and we all know that radiocarbon dating is part of that Darwinian fossil records foolishness anyway.

    Scientists, I'll never understand them.

  • digidevil, on 06/25/2009, -1/+7And, you know, it's a shame. I used to live in Cyprus as a military brat (big British base there), and they don't take care of their archaeological/historic sites well at all. Maybe that had to change for them to get into the EU, but I doubt it. That well will probably end up being used as a place to dump garbage or something.
  • TobiasParker, on 06/25/2009, -1/+7It is obviously a recent homicide, i mean the woman at the bottom of the well is wearing a pink bandanna.

  • Talphin, on 06/25/2009, -1/+2Joke? There are millions (if not billions) of people who actually believe this, and are not only trying to, but to some degree successfully and systematically forcing it to be taught in public schools, and enforced by the government. Joke my ass.
  • KISSOLOGY, on 06/25/2009, -0/+1FYI, not all Christians are stupid enough to believe that.
  • gcabs2000, on 06/25/2009, -0/+1Cause of death.... dehydration
  • Nighthawke, on 06/25/2009, -0/+1An interesting find. Was this part of a larger event, like a military operation? They poisoned the wells this way, by throwing the dead down the wells, preventing the wells from being used for a long time.
  • RobbieF, on 06/25/2009, -0/+1What, no creepy little girl?
  • stuffradio, on 06/25/2009, -0/+1@Talphin It's kind of hard to joke your ass, I don't think you own one.
  • iticu, on 06/25/2009, -0/+1No you didn't, that's a battlestar galactica reference.

    Also, I dugg down the comment you "already did". Funnys

  • PopcornDave, on 06/25/2009, -0/+1It's okay because Terrance Trent D'arvby will be singing at the memorial for her.
  • gkiltz, on 06/25/2009, -0/+0The only reason that changed is that modern wells are not dug, they're drilled! No one will fit down there!
