CU is real quick to violate state law and the Constitution on gun rights but quite slow to do things you think a university should be involved in.

The spear-like wooden dart was found in 2007, but the University of Colorado didn't announce it until Tuesday.

"At first we all dismissed it as just a stick with a pointy end... then the Dean reminded us we haven't published diddly since 2004, and we were about to lose our research grants."

Ramifications? Well, they weren’t hunting on a sheet of ice 10,000 years ago, so it must have been warmer then than it is now?

Forget the message, Fat Boy. Explain this instead.

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — “Researchers say they’ve found a 10,000-year-old hunting weapon that had been preserved in melting ice near Yellowstone National Park. The spear-like wooden dart was found in 2007 along with a rusty iron keg, but the University of Colorado didn’t announce it until Tuesday. Scientists and archaeologists are now searching the dense snowpack in hopes of finding the long-lost Yellowstone Grizzly Grill and Bar, famous in Ute legend as the birthplace of the Bullseye Buffalo Shield, stolen by Target stores.”

That’s my arrow, I shot clean over the deer’s back.

I looked until dark for that arrow.

In the words of Joe Biden, “smart ass”. It sounds nicer in Hawaiian, “Akamai Okole”
