I think this is my all-time favorite.

be ground (and broken) to dust within a
few years (or even months)."

It's no surprise that Olsen thinks this "nice".
It's evolutionary illiteracy.

Says the imbecile who claims chimps can't dig, Neandertals didn't
hunt, and there were no Pleistocene lions in Europe.

Let's not forget the A'pith dogs and the Margaret Mead drive-by
shootings....How's it goin', Pauly? Those nice men in the white
coats take you out for a walk today?

Olsen and Clark are two prime examples
of the effects of a PA 'education'. Neither
of them ever have anything to say. But
they are deeply puzzled by those who
have. It seems as though they learnt
their PA textbooks by heart, and are only
capable of reciting set answers to set
questions. To them, that is 'knowledge';
that is paleoanthropology. Anyone who
does not follow those rules is a HERETIC
-- an outcast, an unbeliever -- someone
to be avoided at all costs, and who
should be burned immediately.
