My report from last night. -- (link) - psilotum Dec 30, 21:20 [Backboard]
Shush. She prefers the term "solidified-american" -- nm - Beryllium Dec 30, 21:20 16
- Um, she's Ethiopian. -- nm - psilotum Dec 30, 21:20 15
  - hey, I was born in New York. -- nm - loosilu Dec 30, 21:27
  - Fine. Solidified-ethiopian-american. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 30, 21:21 13
    - Don't forget "vertically-challenged". -- nm - psilotum Dec 30, 21:24 12
      - and replaced solidified with petrified, if we want to get technical (and oh, we do). -- nm - mafic Dec 30, 21:25 11
        
        I explored a pretty cool lava tube a week ago. - psilotum Dec 30, 21:28 4
        
        in a lave tube they're quite unusual, in other caves they're rare, but not astoundingly so. -- nm - mafic Dec 30, 21:34 1

        euphemism? -- nm - loosilu Dec 30, 21:28 1
        
        yes -- nm - psilotum Dec 30, 23:44
        
        no wonder Loosi doesn't have many second dates :) - peglegpete Dec 30, 21:27 5
        
        It is not my fault I get a little petrified before a date. -- nm - loosilu Dec 30, 21:28 4
        
        First you were afraid? -- nm - Dano Dec 30, 21:37 1
        
        I won't survive! -- nm - Australopithecus afarensis Dec 30, 21:38
        
        some guys are real neanderthals -- nm - peglegpete Dec 30, 21:33 1
        
        then by the end of the night, they turn back into Homo erectus. -- nm - loosilu Dec 30, 21:34
It's on tour. Currently in Seattle. -- nm - psilotum Dec 30, 21:19 14
- the actual bones? whoa, what kind of security does that require? -- nm - loosilu Dec 30, 21:27 13
  - Yep. Apparently this tour is all kinds of controversial. - psilotum Dec 30, 21:29 12
    - yeah, just hearing this makes me a little nervous. she's totally irreplaceable. -- nm - loosilu Dec 30, 21:33 11
      - US museum of natural history turned it down for exactly that reason. - mafic Dec 30, 21:38 10
        
        jeez, I just read that even the National Museum of Ethiopia displays a replica. - loosilu Dec 30, 21:45 1
        
        I think the original is in the british museum, but I'm not sure about the one with the distinct feathers. -- nm - mafic Dec 30, 23:29
        
        it's true. but I guess it doesn't have the rock star appeal. -- nm - loosilu Dec 30, 21:41 7
        
        Being in the same room as a 3.18 million year old fossil is an awesome experience. - psilotum Dec 30, 21:44 6
        
        I have a 4.03 billion-year-old rock at home. I'm quite fond of it. -- nm - mafic Dec 30, 23:32 2
        
        That is pretty damn old. -- nm - psilotum Dec 30, 23:44
        
        Let me guess, you named it 'Iggy' -- nm - Beryllium Dec 30, 23:34
        
        You met hyde? -- nm - Dano Dec 30, 22:21 1
        
        har har har ...mn -- nm - x si Dec 30, 22:27
        
        I can't even imagine. -- nm - loosilu Dec 30, 21:46
