- pinkflyingpig, on 06/05/2009, -0/+29Curators have found three broken ribs that were healed before Zed's death. He probably got them from fighting with other male mammoths, "or he was just clumsy as hell." Or just hit by a car - a typical way to die in LA.
- tweak567, on 06/05/2009, -1/+22That hardly seems fair. What are the odds this was even found if not for the construction? Not to mention the fact that the earth beneath us everywhere has the possibility of containing old fossils. Should we halt all construction everywhere as a result, of course not!!
- SexyGeekGirl, on 06/05/2009, -0/+16Introducing Zed... Encino mans long lost pet.
- SSPink, on 06/05/2009, -0/+15Well, we missed the premiere and we're gonna die. We might as well enjoy the sights. Oh, my God! Sylvester Stallone!
- umanchik, on 06/05/2009, -3/+17Here is a picture of the fossil dig http://tinyurl.com/onhgmm
- thegrantman, on 06/05/2009, -0/+14"Who's Zed?"
"Zed's dead baby." - pingpants, on 06/05/2009, -0/+12Gopher Dinosaur *shudders*
- atlasdugged, on 06/05/2009, -0/+9The La Brea tarpits are one of the best attractions in LA. Last time I went there, the sidewalk started bubbling up with hot tar. Way better than Mann's theater!
- inactive, on 06/05/2009, -2/+10but dugg because it's still funny
- N00F, on 06/05/2009, -0/+7Why Zed? Was the Mammoth from Canada, eh?
- jaybudzik, on 06/05/2009, -15/+21Yet another natural treasure paved over by developers.
- JinxCrow, on 06/05/2009, -0/+4I love these sort of articles. Finding dead things in the ground from hundreds of years ago is just so cool!
(No I'm not being sarcastic, I wish I followed my childhood dream of being an archeologist. But the Indy hat never looked good on me.) - derekmas10, on 06/05/2009, -0/+4I went to Mann's once and there was plenty of ***** bubbling up from the sidewalk BRONZE STARS, EVEN
talk about pollution. - derekmas10, on 06/05/2009, -2/+6God forbid a shtistorm.
No really... GOD! Forbid this shtistorm!
Whew! never happened. - yesbeegee, on 06/05/2009, -0/+4I'm sure there must be some human fossils in there too because that's how long it takes to get out of some of L.A.'s parking lots ;-)
- Grova, on 06/05/2009, -2/+5Zeds Dead
- ajkrik, on 06/05/2009, -0/+3As a Colombian Mammoth it was probably an early immigrant. . . Better tar pits, better job opportunities.
- sunnycalif, on 06/05/2009, -0/+3Here is the link to get more information about La Brea Tarpits, http://www.tarpits.org/
- davidjunit, on 06/05/2009, -0/+3This just proves that an oppressive dinosaur overlord existed millions of years ago and had a mass grave site in what we now know as L.A.
- DivineMonkey, on 06/05/2009, -1/+4Buried for having no sense of humour.
- walker4bc, on 06/05/2009, -0/+3Absolutely amazing that something like this can still exist in the heart of LA.
- EarlOfLade, on 06/05/2009, -1/+4And God placed the fossil there to confuse them evilutionists!
And Grand Canyon was formed in hours!
/s - ennuisquared, on 06/05/2009, -0/+2Oh my God! Sylvester Stallone!
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x8koju_futurama-s ... - ajkrik, on 06/05/2009, -0/+2It's more like another paleontological treasure uncovered by developers. Life goes on, get a life.
- UnFriendlyFire, on 06/05/2009, -1/+2Way to not post pix, LA Times.
- WayneCA, on 06/05/2009, -0/+1PRESERVED by developers.
- greenwald, on 06/05/2009, -1/+2"They paved paradise and put up a parking lot" J.Mitchell
- diggdatt, on 06/08/2009, -0/+1Yeah, ***** needing to learn anything about our planet, we got retail stores to built and restaurants to put up, hey we even have a octuple cheesehambuger, fill up fatass americans!
- brettmjohnson, on 06/05/2009, -0/+1Because pictures would have taken up space reserved for GIANT SPONSORED LINKS.
- ajkrik, on 06/05/2009, -1/+2Copernicus. Fossils in eons-old goo are not "nature". Also, it was buried under an existing PARKING STRUCTURE. Now, like all the stuff 200 yards to the east, it is being excavated. What's the problem?
- LeMAD, on 06/05/2009, -14/+15But I thought the world was 6000 years old?
- Leviathan433, on 06/08/2009, -0/+1I like that you have made this exact same comment in multiple threads. Stop trolling and stop feeding the trolls.
- jerbaker, on 06/06/2009, -0/+1Is it your position that there was no permit issued for this parking structure when it was built? Call me crazy, but methinks that paving over a significant portion of land on a property known to contain a significant number of scientifically valuable fossils is putting business ahead of science. In other words, shortsighted and idiotic.
Second, if fossils are not "nature," what is nature? God's little trick on humans?
Thanks. - ironhide, on 06/05/2009, -0/+1hundreds?
- MayorMcCheapo, on 06/05/2009, -0/+1Yeah. Old news, but GOOD news.
- winkydo, on 06/05/2009, -0/+1wasn't this just a publicity stunt for the angel mall grand openeing? lisa knew the truth and no one listened to her.
- gdha, on 06/05/2009, -0/+1Holy cow, who found that stuff?!
- JinxCrow, on 06/05/2009, -0/+1hundreds, thousands, millions...meant all over time, used hundreds as a general term for undetermined periods of time.
- jerbaker, on 06/05/2009, -2/+2You mean yet another natural treasure ruined by politicians eager to create development for development's sake. Remember that the developers got permits, and it's the permit process that is supposed to catch this kind of thing.
When will all the old-school people who think that paving over nature = progress die off? - Chompy, on 06/05/2009, -1/+1Yet another internet nutbar trying to turn *every conversation* to his pet issue.
- SarcasticGenius, on 06/05/2009, -1/+1In every science thread, some asshat who thinks he's being original or funny by making a slam against religion, makes the same "the Earth is only 6,000 years old" comment.
It's old and overused, and today, you are that asshat. - altgeeky1, on 06/05/2009, -2/+2I agree, that's a little bit off... this isn't Jerusalem, or any other known historical site. Therefore you can't have all construction everywhere halted until the local university does an excavation...
Now if you want a really bad example of development, you can cite the roadway they slapped right over Stonehedge.
Not over the center ruins shown in photographs of course, but we know the site was made up of larger rings, and the highway goes right over that, unnecessarily except to keep the road in a straight line. What a waste. - daze, on 06/05/2009, -1/+0i was hoping this was new info, as i worked across the street from here for years and love stuff like this...
instead, it's an article from february that just made it on the digg homepage. - kinerry, on 06/05/2009, -5/+3...and it redirects to tubgirl
- rentdn, on 06/05/2009, -3/+1Thats why I love Diggggggg
- inactive, on 06/05/2009, -2/+0It's probably just a landfill that the plastic surgeons dump all the leftovers into. I bet 80% of the finds are parts of Joan Rivers' face.
- slapded, on 06/05/2009, -4/+2hay budddayyy
- therealfoz1, on 06/05/2009, -3/+0Dig Dugg
- prodoc2009, on 06/05/2009, -4/+1What a dig. I really dugg this digg, you dig!
- gametavern, on 06/05/2009, -7/+4If you're edged 'cause I'm weazin all your grindage, just chill. 'Cause if I had the whole brady bunch thing happenin' at my pad, I'd go grind over there, so dont tax my gig so hard-core cruster.
