Oregon's Poop Makes Headlines

[PetrusMonsFormicarum]

The MSM is all atwitter with the news of ancient human poop discovered by researchers in central Oregon. Seems it predates Clovis by as much as 1200 years, putting humans in North America at a much earlier date. From the National Geographic:

Seems like whenever Oregon makes the national news, it always stinks.

I was just talking with my girlfriend last night about the Clovis and the "Clovis First" hypothesis.

Thanks!
