This morning's news was about a couple of guys (either Midshipmen or Cadets) with what I took to be Scandinavian names who tried to climb up Pikes Peak to ski ~ or slide down ~ or something.

They climbed as high as they could go but couldn't slide down. The news guy said they spent the night in waist deep melted snow water.

Definitely a couple of Sa'ami ~ else they'd simply died of exposure in 20 minutes to an hour.

If anyone needs to know why folks moved North with the melting ice at the end of the Ice Age (and after the Younger Dryas) there you have it ~ they were made for that sort of life.

They could also tolerate eating seal meat which has 25 times as much iron as your average mammal, or reindeer which has 3 times as much iron. Interesting liver processes in that ~ makes your urine yellow and orange in the Spring just as the first bright sunlight filters through the gloom. Just getting you ready for the hunt!

I read last night that Scandanavians have bigger teeth that most other Europeans and east Europeans have the smallest teeth. Do you know anything about that?
