quit whut? i wasn't doin' nothin'.

lots of the stuff that makes the final voting is amazing. that's why it always supersizes me when i read somebody sayin' they'll toss their chip in for a particular thing early in the month before they see what all other stuff gets entered. one of these days somebunny's gonna slide a neanderthal rexalodon in at the last minute and i'm gonna giggle like a bison.

I agree. They are all great finds. In both categories.

I think they are all amazing finds. It will be a difficult choice for me.

We've only got a few hours left...make sure those votes get in. Looks like this is gonna be a close one...

What a wonderful menagerie! Who would believe that such as register lay buried in the strata? To open the leaves, to unroll the papyrus, has been an intensely interesting though difficult work, having all the excitement and marvelous development of a romance. And yet the volume is only partly read. Many a new page I fancy will yet be opened. -- Edward Hitchcock, 1858

I can't believe I didn't vote for that unimaginably awesome gomph tooth but to find soft tissue preserved and from that incredible length of time ago. Congrats Alabama!

Everything is so awesome, how do you even choose who to vote for?! Great finds everyone. :D

In formal logic, a contradiction is the signal of defeat: but in the evolution of real knowledge, it marks the first step in progress toward victory.

I didn't know a bison was capable of a giggle. You learn so much on the forum it's just silly.
