OK, i'll quote all of it relating to mammoth: "and then there was mammoth's meat. It had been dug up in Siberia out of the ice, where it had been kept naturally refrigerated for thousands of years. Eating that ancient mammoth's meat is more common now, but then it was something new and startling." Thousands of years of freezer burn ... -- D.F.

What about the medieval heretical sect that was founded because a monk mistakeny wrote "The LORD is immoral"? I mean, they had a good time and all, right up until the Inquisition, but it didn't work out well for them. |

Sorry, no joke. The subject material wasn't serious. But like many posts here, my response was a riff on an obvious typo. For you to pretend you never made the typo by fixing it in your subsequent response is dishonest. It violates a basic trust we need to be able to talk to each other in this forum. bill |

Which joke never worked for me, knowing full well that being celibate was never a requirement before the Council of Trent.

One of my uncles ate mammoth meat they had uncovered...I think in Alaska but it could have been Canada. This would have been in the early part of the 20th century. He said it was not very good eating. I still have a few bits of tusk from that animal that he carved into tie clasps and such things. Charlie |

Never worked for me because "celebrate" is a verb. What would it say, "priests have to remain celebrate"? Durr.
