live from siberia, land of the crazy

two people sent me story links today involving siberia. weird.

1. from work matt: a reindeer herder found an incredibly intact baby mammoth.


the story then goes on to talk about jurassic park possibilities and also the "lucrative trade in ivory, skin, hair and other body parts" of animals.

2. from jesse: instead of actual mammoths, here we have a mammoth baby.
Siberian woman's 12th child weighs in at 17 pounds


after having that many kids, i'm sure that woman has other things (parts) that are as mammoth as her latest baby. hiyo.
