Older Than Dirt - Brits Find Village

The Brits, who like nothing more than running around the countryside with big rubber boots and trowels, have turned up an 11,000 year old settlement in southeastern England.

The site is said to be 6000 years older than Stonehenge, the eerie stone monument and destination favored by aging hippies and fans of the Grateful Dead.

It’s so old that the dwellings were apparently built when England was still connected to France, which is a scary thought.

“Basically, this makes Stonehenge looks like a Home Depot out at the mall,” said blogger Trevor Whiskbroom.

“It’s old. I mean it’s older than the Rolling Stones, Margaret Thatcher and Englebert Humperdinck put together.”

In their dig, archaeologists found evidence of domesticated dogs, deer and elk skulls and assorted debris.

”They believe they’ve also found what appears to the earliest known version of the Barcalounger,” said Whiskbroom.

“Apparently the men would sit in this contraption and drink some form of fermented beverage while watching their neighbors brain one another with big sticks.”

Whiskbroom said the diggers also found evidence of a path where women in the area took children, often several times a day, to a meadow to play a kicking game that involved a skull from another tribe.

“The thinking is they called themselves ‘Cave Moms,’” he said. “Apparently the children just ran off in all directions whenever someone gave the skull a kick. Then they all sat down for some water and some elk jerky, maybe.”
