Fuzzy canoe alert.

[bgill]

we might be able to look at the dimensions and find out are we making canoes differently today

Ya think?

[MinuteGal]

This fuzzy canoe is temporarily estimated to be around 500 years old. It's great that it's remained in such good shape during all these years. Yet, I don't think it can be properly classified as "ancient".

Indeed, if we had remnants of the Nina, Pinta or Santa Maria from when Columbus sailed the blue in 1492, we would hardly classify these artifacts as "ancient".

It`s called a dugout. -

Call me when someone discovers a moss covered 3 handled family credenza. I’ve been wondering what it is since I was a kid.

[Sacajaweau]

500 yars ago?? Maybe....But (IMHO) I really doubt it. That's back in Christopher Columbus's time.

Maybe more like 200 years old.

And where's the nearest river??

[Sacajaweau]

Bottom Line....Here come the Feds

...Grant Money....Protected Site....

Guess they couldn't find any owls....

[Sacajaweau]

I think they said that they hadn't removed the moss yet...So I would take everything with a grain of salt.

And guess what....White men carved canoes, too.

Was it filled with Chinese takeout containers?

[GreenHornet]

Markings found on the side of the canoe indicate that it was a rental, leading archaeologists to conclude that someone owes a ton of money for not returning it on time.

[Sacajaweau]

My problem is "Why was it abandoned?"

And why isn't the canoe TOTALLY filled in with debris??

[Bean Counter]

Very cool find, and smart move on their part to keep the find quiet until it could be properly examined and possibly recovered...

[Nabber]

This has been in my closet for what it seems like 500 years.

[Sacajaweau]

Looks like this is really about some current legislation...and forcing the logging companys to go elsewhere. This canoe is the owl, the frog, the eagle, the snail darter of Alaska!! Just another preservationist tactic.

How did the natives design the fuzzy canoe?

With fuzzy math.

[colorado tanker]

I don’t know I’d be so certain that is a Native American canoe until I got some of that moss off.

Some government entity will want to check and see if it has a current boat license.
If not, the finder will be billed for 500 years of license nonpayment.
