The story I heard on NPR gave the original owner's year of birth as 1903. If the grandson is 75 he was born in approximately 1937. So that's ~34 years for two generations to reproduce?! Yes, it's possible, but...damn.

I heard this story on NPR, too. It's pretty cool, and nice to see some pictures.

Speaking of pictures, I'm thinking that her grandson must a mo if he's wearing a t-shirt like that.

Her grandson is the old one wearing the turtleneck, not the young one in the tee. That's the diver.

I think I heard once that President John Tyler (10th Prez) still has two living grandchildren.

I meant to say something about that being at the opposite end of the spectrum, but also kinda weird. But I failed. I will now leave in shame.

You're confusing the guy who found it - who. like the Honey Badger - it BAD A$$! The grandson is the old guy.

sheep_shagger: We sees what the nasty subby did there, precious

Never read "Bored of the Rings". Forever after, when you read anything alluding to the "what has it got in it's pocketses" part of Hobbit, you will instead come up with something like

"Guess what I've got in my pocketses!" said Dildo.

"What, what!"

"THIS!" said Dildo, who ended the contest by pulling out a snub-nosed .38. BLAM! BLAM!

Dildo might have put the quietus to him then and there, but pity stayed his hand. "It's a pity I've run out of bullets" thought Dildo.

/not word for word

imprimere: Please tell me the scuba diver made the grandson answer a riddle first.

Like: "A crab has two claws. His left claw is holding my money clip with four big bills... the right claw on my wife's natural double D breast. I can only crack one claw in time. What would you do? WHAT WOULD YOU DO?"

That poor, poor woman. Serial DERPists have been known to take momentos back to their rape caves as it helps them reestablish a connection with the event.

While Underwear Cave is a brilliant idea and should be a reality show, GIS shows more men in jock straps than I would have liked, sorry.

So, what do you think about scuba diving in underwater caves?

Not at all. I thought he looked like he didn't exactly do well with the ladies, but that didn't lead me to conclude that he is gay.
