    Have you ever had it?

    Stroheckers grocery store in the Portland Heights used to sell canned rhino meat when I was about 21. That was somewhere around 69 or 70. Must have been pretty tasty 'cause it was expensive. By the way, they also sold very tiny quail eggs.

    I read the whole interesting article. You're a lot smarter than you look. Denny is lucky to have you.

    Yum, rhino brisket. But I'd need my tools back so I could cut up the delicious meat.

    you should know better than to link a science thread with the word "erectus" in it....I think our view of human evolution and evolution in general is far from accurate....this is another example of finding clues in the rare organic matter form...so much evidence to early life has composted away...sort of ties into the new findings in the Mayan, Aztec, Toltec diggings in Latin America...every new discovery seems to show humans have been there longer than we previously thought. I've always thought humans evolved in the Americas long before the hunter gatherers crossed from Asia to Alaska...that there were many cradles of human evolution beyond the Ghengis Khan dna links...or Lucy in Ethiopia...this finding in the Phillipines proves el prez is a 700,000 year old vampire...I knew it!
