I like Savalas' theory....
"Or the Philadadelphia Experiment's residual effects..."
Well. I was entertained anyway.
When we had cattle or horses die, I would wait for them to decompose and/or the coyotes/etc. to pick most of the meat off and then take the skulls and bleach 'em out. I always thought they were cool. My buddy's son came out to the farm and we told him that a cow's bones were that of a dinosaur's. He was young enough at the time to believe us. Barely.
That was the same day he thought I was trying to run him over with the truck. Apparantly that stuck with him for a while, because my friend's mom (she has been friends with my aunt since they were 5) was complaining to me about it a month later. LOL. Poor kid. That is the kind of crap my Dad's friends would do sometimes too. You've always got to have someone who is older to pick on you a little bit when you are young. Although it bugged me a bit, I enjoyed it the attention and being acceptable enough to goof around with like one of them.
