Can you DIG it?

[wally_bert]

Wonder if that Naked Archaeologist guy would help?

I liked that series too.

Delta Iota Gamma?

[Reily]

I liked the series too however he was full of crap most of the time.

I can sure dig the fact that these students are interested in formally an organization to develop professional relationships and help students find internships and employment after graduation. These majors don’t sound like something a Social Justice Warrior would be involved with; I don’t think these “warriors” would like to get up at 0400 and head to a dig and be dirty all day.

forming not formally

“Who dropped a whole truckload of fizzies into the swim meet? Who delivered the medical school cadavers to the alumni dinner? Every Halloween, the trees are filled with underwear. Every spring, the toilets explode.”

“You’re talking about Delta, sir.”

[wally_bert]

I didn’t know enough either way and took it for what it was.

The bits of campy stock footage were a nice touch.

[wally_bert]

Classic movie.

Archaeology rocks

[tet68]

Geology rocks, Archeology digs it.

[pabianice]

This might have worked 50 years ago but since then shrieking feminists and angry Liberals have made anthropology a sick joke.

[mewzilla]

Motto: We dig older women.

If you dug in a little deeper, you would find out he would leave out any artifacts/evidence that contradicted whatever narrative he was pushing for that particular episode. In some cases it wasn’t a big deal in other cases it was really fraudulent. He also had no real training/education in archaeology. Most of the time like you I enjoyed the show

[wally_bert]

I discovered it while recuperating from gall bladder removal.

[Reily]

Then it was a good way to pass the time.

[Calvin Locke]

These majors don’t sound like something a Social Justice Warrior would be involved with;

Au contraire. The last week or two, I saw a story about essentially stopping archaeologists from disturbing "remains" because "the remains are still people" or some rot.

I'm guessing these people don't want verifiable facts interfering with the infantized bubble they've created for themselves.

Think "Kennewick Man". Some Native American Indians have no interest in the possibility of finding out somebody was in North American before them.

Unfair unless Anthropologists are included!

... Then the push will be for Paleontologists, then Sociologist, then when it gets to Psychologists ... everyone goes psycho!
