depending on race and ancestry, we all owe some portion of our DNA to those guys. Kinky f***ing humans that breed with any moist orifice. "moist" is usually optional. My info is dated, but the thing is, they were pretty well adapted to a cold environment. Then the ice age pulled the wooly mammoth carpet out from under them (I'm guessing).

I thought the theory was that humans basicly killed them off?

I've had a few episodes of that, it's the weirdest thing.

My favourite was someone coming inside my room while I'm lying in bed and saying that I'm going to die tomorrow, and I'm like "oh ok". Like it was no big deal. Then the person vanished and I snapped out of it and I was like "wtf was that!".

You probably had a visit from some demon. Both times I felt someone was pressing down hard on my chest but I couldn't even move my eyes to see who it was. I was fighting with all the will I could muster to twitch my tiniest muscle but couldn't.
 
today is the 22nd anniversary of the Kingdome implosion, and we were there. My boss and I were towing KZOK and another station advertising banner, just outside of the temporary restricted airspace. I think it was a 2 mile diameter, but for fuck's sake it was 22 years ago so that is hard to be sure.

Sokushinbutsu - Wikipedia

n medieval Japan, this tradition developed a process for Sokushinbutsu, which a monk completed over about 3,000 days.[10] It involved a strict diet called mokujiki (literally, "eating a tree").[12][11] The diet abstained from any cereals, and relied on pine needles, resins and seeds found in the mountains, which would eliminate all fat in the body.[12][5] Increasing rates of fasting and meditation would lead to starvation. The monks would slowly reduce then stop liquid intake, thus dehydrating the body and shrinking all organs.[12] The monks would die in a state of jhana (meditation) while chanting the nenbutsu (a mantra about Buddha), and their body would become naturally preserved as a mummy with skin and teeth intact without decay and without the need of any artificial preservatives.
