It left that fossil a shell of its former self.

"How did the zombie apocalypse begin?"
"Well, it started with the ale. People thought it would be interesting. The yeast is old, they said. Maybe it will make interesting ale, they said. What could go wrong, they said. I guess the ale was tasty, because soon everybody was drinking it. And then they all began to change ..."

So why was the whale drinking?

Kind of a “12 Monkeys” thing, but with beer and no extinction. Oh, and zombies. I like it.

I’ll leave the Paleo Ale to Pat Buchannen and his crew. I’m strictly a Neo Ale person.

For stone-aged guys, they sure had a lot of unexplained technology, like glassmaking...

40 million years, exactly? Not even a year more or a year less? There is no experiment that can prove the yeast was found on the bone and where it came from. This is just hype.

A paleo beer, Osborne thought, would be a great hook to interest non-scientists in fossils. Beer and wet t-shirt contests do help attract new fans.

It could have killed off most of the fish, maybe even the dinosaurs.

And then they all began to change ...”
People’s foreheads started shortening. Their hair turned to ginger, their jaws protruded. They became ripped like that early AM infomercial exercise guy. They started reading the NYT and dragging the ole lady around by the hair. They started using baseball bats on the TSA. They pushed virgins off of dams. They topped their fish tacos with Vagisil in vain.
[Just to continue the storyline]
