"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."

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.
Hey! I’ve had curare before!
