Dirt work crews undermined the stability of a near
by hill, causing a small landslide and revealing a
limestone cave.
The
Clan MacThoy Society was rapidly mobilized to
investigate and extract any artifacts that the mall
might continue unabated.
The cave floor itself appeared to have been a
swamp at one time. The scientists felt
certain any artifacts found would be well
preserved much like the famous Bog Bodies found
in Europe.
Three
months in the small cave yielded no signs of MacThoy
inhabitation. Dejected, the team prepared to
leave the site.
While packing their equipment out of the cave, one of the new interns tripped over a
rock formation and fell, shattering thousands of
dollars of equipment, breaking his tibia and plummeting
face first into history.
His
team mates began treating his injury. It was
at this point, one of them noticed that the intern
had not tripped on a rock formation but rather on a
fossilized beer keg!
They
removed the intern from the site. His cries --
obviously encouraging them to stay behind and
examine the artifact in the hopes it might have some
monetary value to
replace the equipment he'd damaged-- were clearly
heard as he was whisked to the hospital.
Effervescent Man Continues. .
