Two workers have discovered an oak barrel, full of butter, estimated to be roughly 3,000 years old, in Gilltown bog, between Timahoe and Staplestown, in Ireland.

According to a report in Leinster Leader, the amazing discovery of the barrel, which is being described by archaeology experts in the National Museum as a "really fine example" was found by two Bord na Mona workers...

What they found was an oak barrel, cut out of a trunk, full of butter. It was largely intact, except for a gash towards the bottom of it caused by the harrow. It was head down, and had a lid; something that has excited the archaeologists. The barrel is also split along the middle, which is common with utensils filled with butter found in the bogs. A conservator at the National Museum, Carol Smith, told the Leinster Leader that the butter expands over time, causing the split...

The butter has changed to white and is now adipocere, which is essentially animal fat, the same sort of substance that is found on well-preserved bodies of people or animals found in the bog... He estimates that the barrel is approximately 3,000 years old, from the Iron Age.

LOL! Stupidest headline of all time. He wasn’t a Neanderthal, he was MollyButterman!!!

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha...... I have no dog in the creation/evolution debate. I think it’s stupid. God can do whatever he wants. So, it is very easy to just LMAO! over such silliness.

EVOOlution!?!? Discounted by butter!?!?

If it was found in Ireland, it must have been made by me ancestors...I fear I clean out my fridge every 3000 years or so (whether it needs it or not!!!)

Evolution took several steps forward in my dorm fridge. What’s that keg o’ butter’s excuse?

[mowowie]

I like Butter.

No. It's mine. From my parents - they left it to me in their will for my Irish soda bread. ;)

Dang, man... if only there’d been a keg full of popcorn with it.

[presently no screen name]

Good one!

We used to eat original Fleischman’s a lot when I was a kid, but I prefer butter. I was very happy when my elderly parents read in the paper that butter was healthier than the transfats and other crap in the substitutes. :’) Those olive-oil based ones are pretty tasty though, BTW.

The discoverers of the barrel were *hoping* it would be something they could drink.

Hey, it’s okay to hit my own people. ;’)

[SunkenCiv]

Homunculi?

[Dysart]

Tanks. I do like to churn out a good pun now again- spread it around as it were.

[SunkenCiv]

:’) It’s nice to be appreciated in my own time. ;’)

[Desdemona]

Mmmmm...butter.

[Richard Kimball]

Big deal. I found the same thing in a Denny’s in Amarillo.

[SunkenCiv]

I was warned in FReepmail that “some FReepers mantequilla for that headline”. ;’)

[SunkenCiv]

Maybe I’m spreading it on a little thick. /rimshot!

[Dysart]

pft, they’re just pining for the curds.
