    Eighty whale skeletons in Chile?! Makes me wonder how many elephant skeletons there were in the elephant graveyard in “The Lion King.”

    On Antiques Roadshow I saw a water crock made of clay mixed with radium. Slogans lettered on the crock touted the many healthful benefits of drinking radioactive water.

    I heard that one about the bulls back in the 1960s, when I was in what today would have been middle school.

    I recall reading of dentures infused with radium to make them extra bright.

    At one time that desert wasn’t dry. Consider this the effect of the world-wind flood of Noah.

    Doesn’t say how old the bones are or where in the Atacama they were found. It is a coastal desert. https://www.google.com/search?q=atacama+desert+coast&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=kS9-U46THMaSyASYlILwDg&ved=0CCgQsAQ&biw=1188&bih=559

    Back in the early fifties, I had a Lone Ranger Belt that was radium coated and glowed in the dark.

    When they have the throwing, that should be running, of the bulls in La Paloma, my friends and I always shout “VIVA LOS TOROS!”

    NO, we do NOT want any of the two-legged runners killed, just slightly injured!!

    I was on a trip to the beach at El Golfo de Santa Clara Sonora, Mexico back in 1968..Walked up a a cliff a long ways from the seashore to find the rib cage of a large whale ..The dune cliff was 20-30 feet high and at least 1000 feet from the seashore..Must have been one heck of a storm.
