Moose, not men, blamed for mammoth extinction

[SJackson]

I will no longer feel guilt over my ancestors treatment of the Wolly Mammoth

[cripplecreek]

The mammoth was the paleolithic SUV, it deserved to die.

[Bob]

Those darned mooses and their evil SUVs did it!

[PoorMuttly]

"Follow the Cheese, Luke."

[Revolting cat!]

Balderdash! Moose are responsible for biting my sister!

[Hodar]

[muawiyah]

If not the Moose, then the Caribou!

Talk about success, this animal has a full 1/4 of the Earth's land surface given over to its grazing needs.

[kinoxi]

aw come on, it was the illegal moose invasion ... :)

[Westlander]

Remember the episode of 'Northern Exposure' where a backwoods guy chainsawed a wooly for meat?

[cripplecreek]

You mean Hollings, I miss that show.

[freedumb2003]

I miss that show.

NE was ahead of its time. Too bad its humor was too subtle for American tastes.

[Ditto]

Jeeze. I must have missed the e-mail. Was I supposed to feel guilt over that one too?

Between the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, the Atlantic Slave Trade and the arrest of Susan B. Anthony, I have been so damn busy with guilt that it's hard to keep up.

We need a way to automate this stuff.

[baseballmom]

Is this where I can finally say, "All your Moose are belong to us"?

[cripplecreek]

The greatest moments of that show always had to do with death and funerals. One of Maggies boyfriends getting killed by a satellite and the trebuchette funeral for Chris's biker buddy.

[Dead Dog]

I'm suprised the "A moose bit my sister" routine has started yet.

[Calvin Locke]

Subtle? Okay, explain the bubble boy plot line. It JTS'd way too soon for all of its potential.

Probably didn't help that Rob Morrow bailed. Maybe he saw what was coming?

Maybe the mammoth was just too stupid to survive? Global warming/climate change?

I fell asleep listening to C2CAM last night. A "cryptozoologist" said the sabre toothed tiger was pretty dumb compared to some other cat. Perhaps that was the
case with the mammoth?

That was great, but the native Aleutian lady (who, according to all accounts playd her part as she lives her life), was so funny. The episode when she went to the city still stays in my mind!

(headed for IMDB to get the details)

[Sacajaweau]

NE was a great show...very relaxing. Love "Numbers"!! It's noticeable that the show is also not "intense".

C'mon. It was a very funny TV show. No need to get angry.

I heard it was a redneck driving a white van
