'Scientists are set to reveal the secrets of Doggerland, an ancient landscape that was wiped out by a tsunami about 8,200 years ago, then fully submerged by rising sea levels following the end of the last Ice Age.

Archaeologists, biologists and computer scientists will digitally reconstruct the prehistoric country following a €2.5m (£1.8m, $2.7m) advanced research grant from the European Research Council. Scientists expect to learn how it developed over 5,000 years, revealing clues as to how people living there moved from hunter-gatherer lifestyles into farming.'

Wait! Sea levels have been rising for 5,000 years?

Maybe it ISN’T George W. Bush’s fault - maybe it’s Prescott Bush’ fault...

And to narrate it, we have L.A.'s amazing (and National Treasure) Vin Sculley:

[faithhopecharity]

maybe they can find O’s real birth certificate down there

recently discovered under tons of sand ....

Good choice — if you want to hear about everything except the game.

about 8,200 years ago.....then fully submerged by rising sea levels

Thank God we finally put an end to that with Obama's election.

>>Good choice — if you want to hear about everything except the game.<<

Hey, no dissing Vin! Besides, he has always done color and he keeps track of the game pretty closely.

When I hear his voice, it is summertime. If he retires after next year as he said he will, Baseball will lose something special forever.

I was browsing Drudge a moment ago, reading the article about our Puppet ruminating over a summertime melting glacier where he was quoted as saying something like, "We have to preserve this so our kids can see it."

I immediately imagined that, had humans been a bit more accelerated in the civilization/technology senses, a President would have been standing at the foot of the Great North American Ice Sheet, then covering all of Canada a mile thick into the upper states, stating,

We have to preserve this so our kids can see it."

<</sarc>>

It makes as much sense then as it does now...

Is that the original McDonald’s on E street in San Bernardino?

[knarf]

no clue ... googled old mcdonald sign and a ton of 'em showed up ...

should'a waited for the one that said ONE million

I was hoping for a "thousands" sign, but that was not there

[Kartographer]

It was those big block hemi engines they drove around in that doomed them. But it was paradise for a while!

[nascarnation]

LOL the top one looks more like a Cummins than a Hemi.

Nice trucks, and I am no Fiat fan!

[RinaseaofDs]

Where is this magical land of automotive cleanliness?

I’d buy a truck and have it raised just to see it washed properly.
