So they were off by a factor of ten ...

It never ceases to amaze me that glaring errors like this are so often missed by the so-called 'editors' of the news, be it web or print.

It slipped under my radar...I simply thought they were talking about my first wife, Gary.

"1,100 year old Mastodon"

[jingle_jangle]

Yup. That's her, all right.

Fleetwood Mac named an album after her best feature...

1,100 years ago...right after it stepped off the Ark on Mt. Ararat and swam to Michigan...

They've got museums in Kansas that can explain it better than I can..

Gary is an odd name for a woman.

Well, there goes your opportunity for ever getting your instruments refinished by the best!!!!

But that was the least offensive of the comments I had in mind. My restraint should count for something.

[jingle_jangle]

The wide stance displayed in your avatar is anything but restrained, Greg!!!

[wayang]

Maybe not restrained, but definitely courting a pulled hamstring...

(I'm mentally experimenting with somehow reintroducing the word mastodon into the thread at this point, but the whole idea seems fraught with peril...)

Here's what Wiki had to say about Mastodon:

Mastodon is a Grammy Award-nominated heavy metal band from Atlanta, Georgia, formed in 1999. It was one of the most notable bands in the New Wave of American Heavy Metal.

This Wiki entry is obviously somewhat dated if Mastodon was recently discovered in Michigan. The last time they roamed the earth couldn't have been less than 10 years ago.

So they were off by a factor of 100!

You're right, Ron!

Here is the evidence, especially at 00:20!
