The former President disembarks from his airplane after a trip back to Arkansas. Although the hoopla is less now that he is out of office, Clinton still occasionally finds himself greeted by military personnel. This is one such occasion. He climbs down the stairs, carrying two huge pigs, one under each arm. He gets to the bottom, and nods his head in return to the soldier's salute. "Son, what do you think about these?" he says. "Nice pigs, SIR!" comes the reply. Clinton gets mildly miffed and lectures, "I'll have you know these aren't just pigs but the finest of Arkansas Razorbacks. Top notch. I got one for Hillary, and one for Chelsea. What do you think about that?" "Nice trade, SIR! |

Wonder why he didn't get professional archeologists involved in the site sooner? Any thoughts?

"Wonder why he didn't get professional archeologists involved in the site sooner? Any thoughts?" He didn't want someone to steal 'his' discovery?

Anna Nicole Smith immediately proposed marriage to the skeleton.

He didn't keep it a secret. He just didn't invite scrutiny by people in a professional position to evaluate his claims. Not a good sign.

He didn't want someone to steal 'his' discovery? Hello my friend, I agree. Pyle says "he is a federally certified archaeologist", and that he paid $7K for "DNA and Carbon-14 testing." Kudos to him.

I guess so, but I get the impression from the article that the skeleton was discovered decades ago.
Seems like a ridiculously long time, especially in light of the Kenniwick Man fiasco.
We need hard evidence that Europeans (and other non-Native Americans) were here before Columbus or we're going to lose access to these skeletons before we get a chance to study them.

Weird.
Don't know exactly where the site is, but I think anywhere in W. Virginia represents a considerable trek west of the coastline, especially for explorers of 1000 years ago.

I think he actually has. I think this is the guy who was trying to get the Smithsonium to help him examine other human parts. Several letters went back and forth but no help. Basically his info did not fit into their world view.

Put the crack pipe down, buddy, that's what I'd say to him.
For all we know, he found an old skeleton in Europe and planted it there.
This not only smells to high heaven, but it reeks of "scam".
I would cough and yell "Bullsh!t", if I were actually in the room with this guy.

Dollars to doughnuts this is nothing but a scam...maybe an elaborate scam...but this goes against the entire historical record...and this stinks to high heaven.
In my opinion, once serious scientists begin to get involved, the scam will become readily apparent...
I don't take any of this with anything other than a generous grain of salt...

I just read a report that the skeleton was Strom Thurmond's youngest son.

"Blam...you didn't ping me. I found this thread on my own. Lucky I'm not the sensitive type...thanks for posting." Sorry, If you'll notice, I hadn't 'pinged' anyone yet.
