"Gold" rush in NYC!

Post by HTRN »

Or rather "bonerush"

A recent guest on Joe Rogan podcast revealed that in 1940, the American museum of natural history dumped a stupid amount of Mammoth tusks in the East River, because they ran out of storage space. Today, they would be worth an estimated 1 billion dollars.

Describing what HTRN does as "antics" is like describing the wreck of the Titanic as "a minor boating incident" ~ First Shirt

I thought you were referring to the guy who vacuums the sidewalks in the gold district and pans the sweepings.
Note to self: start reading sig lines. They're actually quite amusing. :D
