Comment on 'Land of the Mammoth'
by Michael J. Oard 16 March, 2001 The presentation of 'Land of the Mammoth' on the Discovery Channel, March 11, was a sequel to the show of last March in which mammoth researchers dug out what they thought was a frozen carcass encased in a block of icy mud. The plan was to slowly thaw out the block the next summer and early fall. This was one of two main themes in the "Land of the Mammoth." However, the researchers were quite disappointed to find only a bit of frozen flesh about the size of a strip of bacon along with 4 vertebrae and 2 ribs. There was no frozen carcass. However, they only thawed out the top 7 inches or so of the block and hope to find the contents of the stomach next year.
Elephants are mammals, they do not lay eggs.
If elephants are descendants of the woolly mammoth, or they share the same genetic ancestor, scientists may consider playing with the DNA in an elephant egg cell to bring out the traits of the woolly mammoth.
What is the name for the woolly tassel on a bell rope?
We certainly had tassels on Bell-ropes when I was in the RN. They were called "tassels". The tassels were not separate from the rope but made by un-laying and spreading the fibres making-up the end of the bell rope. Many bellropes, perhaps most, did not have a tassel.
Bell ropes were made by a rating on-board who enjoyed and was well practised in rope work. I made one myself and was given it when I left HMS Obdurate.
I still have it.
