The last DoDo bird was killed by a Dutch hunter on Madagascar in 1681.
Since then man has exterminated thousands of species including several hundred indigenous natives around the world and now two Georgia police officers on a hunting trip in the Washington State have shown up with the 7'7' corpse of Bigfoot, the mythic man-ape of the Northwest. Mammalogoists were fast to discount the discovery as a hoax foisted on a gullible public by a Bigfoot website, however Field and Stream have a $1,000,000 reward for the first person who verifies the existence of
Sasquatch, whom the Lakota Indians called Chiye-tanka or "Big Elder Brother".
Washington State Game wardens issue no permits for the shooting of Big Feet at this time.
Several years back Thai authorities revoked the beer license for Carlsberg. The beer vanished fast from Pattaya, however the little shop opposite the ferry wharf on Koh Lann had a good stock of the beer and every time I went to the island I'd return to the mainland with several bottles. The young girl at the shop was very friendly and her father liked Leo. I thought the Carlsberg would last forever, but two years ago I arrive at the shop and the girls said there was one Carlsberg left.
"A big bottle."
I drank the last bottle sitting at their stone table.
Extinction.
I know it well.
