Just trying to connect some 'stories.'

(Prince) Madoc In America

[Support Free Republic]

The former President disembarks from his airplane after a trip back to Arkansas. Although the hoopla is less now that he is out of office, Clinton still occasionally finds himself greeted by military personnel. This is one such occasion.

He climbs down the stairs, carrying two huge pigs, one under each arm. He gets to the bottom, and nods his head in return to the soldier's salute. "Son, what do you think about these?" he says. "Nice pigs, SIR!" comes the reply. Clinton gets mildly miffed and lectures, "I'll have you know these aren't just pigs but the finest of Arkansas Razorbacks. Top notch. I got one for Hillary, and one for Chelsea. What do you think about that?"

"Nice trade, SIR!

Your donations keep us laughing at liberals

[CobaltBlue]

Wonder why he didn't get professional archeologists involved in the site sooner? Any thoughts?

[TheBigB]

Anna Nicole Smith immediately proposed marriage to the skeleton.

[Sam Cree]

Weird.

Don't know exactly where the site is, but I think anywhere in W. Virginia represents a considerable trek west of the coastline, especially for explorers of 1000 years ago.

[Im Your Huckleberry]

Put the crack pipe down, buddy, that's what I'd say to him.

For all we know, he found an old skeleton in Europe and planted it there.

This not only smells to high heaven, but it reeks of "scam".

I would cough and yell "Bullsh!t", if I were actually in the room with this guy.

I just read a report that the skeleton was Strom Thurmond's youngest son.

Thanks for the interesting post, and I am enjoying the comments.

Have a Ph.D. in the subject, plus 30+ years experience.

It could be real. there's a way to find out. All you need to do is science.

He claims DNA and C14 results; great, lets see 'em. Let's redo them. If the results are the same the second and third time around, its a definite maybe.

But extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. If I claim a 1,000 year old site around here, no big deal. If I claim a 10,000 year old site I better have some solid data. If I pull a Leakey and claim 100,000 years I better have truckloads of data.

Will wait for this one to show up in "American Antiquity" before I bet the farm on it.

How long before some moronic nativists try to seize the remains?

[rface]

Probably another one of my long-lost relatives.

[Archie Bunker on steroids]

Any Morman motivation to connect dots??? Tests being conducted at BYU.

[Mind-numbed Robot]

Dang. Does this mean we have to give Wyoming back to Ireland?

Sounds like a load of horse manure. If an Irish guy made it all the way to Wyoming then chances are he didn't come empty handed. If he had come we can be assured that he would have brought all the trappings of his society with him, like wheat, barley, pigs, chickens etc. Any such things would have drastically altered life in North America for everyone, they would have been a revolution unto themselves. If on the other hand he was a shipwrecked Character, why was he in Wyoming? He either would have set up shop where he landed or he would have built a ship and tried to go home. Certainly wouldn't have trudged off across a continent through populated and hostile lands on foot. Doesn't make much sense especially when added to the rest of the points raised here.

I remember this. I have the issue of West Virginia magazine it appeared in. I thought the subject was fascinating and am glad to read an update.
