- octowussy, on 10/05/2009, -2/+25Which is a real shame, because I've been told that most scientists get into the field specifically to impress Digg's PowderedToasty.
- PowderedToasty, on 10/05/2009, -2/+19If it hasn't told them how to clone mammoths I'm not impressed.
- skeen07, on 10/05/2009, -2/+15Snitch.
- diggerado, on 10/05/2009, -1/+11God just puts those in the ground to fool scientists because he hates scientists and wants to make doubly sure they go straight to hell.
- Civil44, on 10/05/2009, -0/+840,000 years old and that thing is still nearly intact
amazing - eShinn, on 10/05/2009, -4/+11Yeah, man. Just need to step outside of the creationist museum every now and then, ya know?
- philzone, on 10/05/2009, -1/+7Clone these things already! I'd get an annual pass to the local zoo.
- eShinn, on 10/05/2009, -0/+5Yeah... yeah. Why even bother right? o.O?
- seventhc, on 10/05/2009, -0/+4What ever happened to that huge mammoth that they cut out of the ice a few years ago? It was on some TV show how they discovered this mammoth in the ice and then proceeded to cut out the huge chunk of ice and brought it in for testing. I've haven't heard any word on it since. I've always wondered what happened to it. If anyone knows, please post.
- e73v3n, on 10/05/2009, -0/+3National Geographic released a Documentary on this mammoth about 6 month ago !
Check the official website out for more info:

- Crazysticks, on 10/05/2009, -0/+2Heffalump.
- Paranor01, on 10/05/2009, -0/+2lol
- pintocat, on 10/07/2009, -0/+2I thought it'd be obvious. 1) it's digg. 2) anyone who looks at my posting history can see I'm a flaming ***** atheist.
Sigh. - SirBruce, on 10/05/2009, -0/+2As far as I know, they're still studying it. It's one of 4 complete bodies found; there are 35 other partial wolly mammoth remains discovered in various conditions, not counting skeletons, tusks, etc.
- rilus, on 10/06/2009, -0/+2Forgot the /s
- MOJIRA, on 10/05/2009, -0/+2His username makes this so much funnier.
- rocro, on 10/05/2009, -0/+2We have have sequenced more difficult things before, look at the Neanderthal genome project.
- veriix, on 10/05/2009, -0/+2Why have you been trying to get your dead dog to talk and more importantly, was your dog able to talk before it died? You know what, forget it, it's just easier to call you an idiot.
- Paranor01, on 10/05/2009, -0/+2odd most comments haven't been anything of the likeness of anti-christian behaviour. you trying to start the argument ?
- Wreckage, on 10/05/2009, -2/+3"tastes like chicken"
- eShinn, on 10/05/2009, -0/+1Oh yeah. I forgot that these studies take freaking YEARS to do. I sat here for 15 minutes just looking at the photo alone. I'll wait. ;.)
- Rudegar, on 10/05/2009, -0/+1even frozen the dna degenerate after so many years
- martoq, on 10/05/2009, -0/+1Sad and amazing at the same time.
- TeCuervo, on 10/05/2009, -0/+1I don't think you can call it a baby after 40,000 years
- annieellen, on 10/05/2009, -0/+1Indeed...
- eShinn, on 10/05/2009, -1/+2Looks that way... Congratulations!!! You're Unique! XD
- rilus, on 10/06/2009, -0/+1"Mostly agnostic?" Obviously you have no idea what you're talking about.
- mrand2008, on 10/05/2009, -0/+1All I could think of while reading this was the poor thing drowning while its parents just looked on in despair...not being able to help the tiny thing...
Sad... - Paranor01, on 10/05/2009, -0/+1odd how the only comments about religion were from you, and someone else saying it was a lie cause it couldn't be that old.
No bashing until you brought it up. You are a sad sad person to create an argument that you weren't having, just so you could have it. - rilus, on 10/07/2009, -0/+1For whatever's it's worth, I dugg you up.
- rilus, on 10/06/2009, -0/+1To be fair, just because he didn't know mammoths had existed, doesn't mean he is a creationist.
- LastDawnofMan, on 10/05/2009, -0/+1Secrets, like, he had an affair with David Letterman.
- rilus, on 10/06/2009, -0/+1That's because it's really only 6,000 years old. Duh!
/s - veriix, on 10/05/2009, -1/+2...so if I find you more pictures you'll bury e73v3n and digg me up? Not being an ass, just want to know how these rules worked in your head.
- frostbyt, on 10/05/2009, -3/+3And the KFC secret ingredients are...
- Antimatt, on 10/05/2009, -1/+1No, I saw 2 comments on the topic, and I am a chronic exaggerator. It happens with a lot of digg articles though. And by a lot, I probably mean about 2.
- Mockylock, on 10/05/2009, -1/+1Let's clone this bitch. I'm tired of the same ***** elephants and panda/polar bears are almost gone. In fact, lets genetically alter it to grow claws and spikes.
- Kristijan12, on 10/05/2009, -2/+1Just when you think about it, forty millennia have passed.
- GibsonSG91, on 10/05/2009, -3/+1Anybody have more pictures and more info? Just curious and too lazy to find it myself...
I'll digg up the person who finds me the most pictures... - googlymoogly111, on 10/05/2009, -3/+0"Yeah, man. Just need to step outside of the creationist museum every now and then, ya know?"
- Antimatt, on 10/05/2009, -4/+1Anything involving time periods older than 6,000 years instantly devolves into anti-Christian comments. Most religious people don't even believe in that 6,000 years thing.
I wish this article had some more actual information in it. I've been interested in a follow up on Lyuba since that Nat Geo article, but this didn't really say anything new. - johnayzevedo, on 10/05/2009, -5/+2Well, brown fat cells are fairly abundant on human babies as well for emergency heat. There is less and less as we grow up, it could be the same for mammoths as well, so they would have to find a adult mammoth to determine whether thats how they kept warm.
- googlymoogly111, on 10/05/2009, -3/+0Ummm I actually read the comments on the article's page itself, not digger's comments.
You're just scared you might get left behind. LULZ - frostbyt, on 10/05/2009, -5/+1I would turn that thing into elephant steaks and sell them to restaurants.
- williepepper, on 10/05/2009, -6/+1How the hell did they get it to talk?
I've been trying to get my dead dog to talk for years, but hey, they can get a 40,000 dead thing to reveal secrets? I don't get it. - charlietuna, on 10/05/2009, -6/+1Am the only person who was reminded of these guys?
http://www.last.fm/music/Baby+Mammoth - pintocat, on 10/05/2009, -9/+4Clearly a bunch of lies by the liberal media. The world isn't even that old.
- googlymoogly111, on 10/05/2009, -10/+1Why is it that any time something is found that's over 6,000 years old, people come on bashing Christianity like "HEY I TOLD YOU SO, HAHA".
Obviously some strict religious nutcases stick to the 6,000 year thing, but they forget that time is relative.
Our creator could have easily created the earth in 7 days; it just happened to be that his day was hundreds of millions of years long compared to our puny 24 hr day.
I guess I don't see how an all powerful being couldn't have intelligently set the universe's events into motion in order to create the appearance that we just came out of nowhere.
This guy I thought summed it up nicely on the comments from the article's actual page:
"Since there is no way we can explain the existance of time or space or matter or the universe it is feasible that it was created by some superior being or entity, possibly malevolent, who we mistake for God. He may or may not have created it in seven days, humans, animals, pestilence, virus and bacteria et al. Being mischievous and all powerful he could easily warp time and facts to create uncertainty, agnosticism, confusion, war between the faiths etc etc. I bet he is having fun with in distant planets and parallel universes and too."
I guess what I don't understand, being mostly agnostic myself, is this: What is it that those who claim- or rather INSIST that there was no creator or intelligent design are so afraid of? -
