1st Gunshot Victim in West

I blame rising teen pregnancy.

The musket blast was sudden and deadly, the killing nearly 500 years ago of what may have been the first gunshot victim in the Western Hemisphere.

“We didn’t expect it. We saw this skull and saw the almost round hole and thought people must have been shooting around here recently,” said Guillermo Cock, an archaeologist who found the remains near Lima, Peru.

But he realized that the skull was ancient, and a recent bullet strike would simply have shattered it, Cock said in a telephone interview.

The skull was found among a large group of bones of ancient Incas, who had died violently in the early 1500s as the Spanish Conquistadors battled the native empire.

2. Is there any truth to the rumor that a Toby Keith CD was found on the site?

3. If my name was Guillermo Cock...I think I would change it. I mean, really, who is going to be able to spell Guillermo.

6. Well, Owen, YOUR theory of teen pregnancy is obviously wrong.

   It’s BushCheney’s fault.

7. Oh, dad29.  Bush/Cheney’s influence didn’t reach Peru yet then.  It was global warming.  Get your facts straight.  There’s consensus, you know.

8. How do you KNOW that Bushitler/Cheney were not involved in a conspiracy at that time, and have returned (in alien spacecraft) per the Conspiracy Plan?
