KEN GERHARD WRITES

Hello all,

I was hoping to get some educated opinions about this mysterious object. The gentleman who sent these photos to me insists that it is a skull from an unidentified animal, and that he also is is possession of a few of its teeth. It appears to have small horns and is lacking eye sockets. In my opinion it resembles a vertebrae, although anatomy is definitely not my strong suit. He is seeking to have it scientifically analyzed. Any thoughts or opinions on the object would be most appreciated!

Always the very best,

Ken

Hi Jon,

Just a note to say how much I enjoyed the new OTT. My favorite part was the final word on Egyptian jackals as wolves; that means Anubis is not a jackal-headed god, but a wolf-headed one like Wepwawet.

And I wrote a verse for Prudence's tag.

I am Prudence of the CFZ
I have a big collar 'cause I have a big head.

Thank you and good-night.

Last month's positions in this pinky colour, which I think is called cerise. February and March are always weird months; there is a sales slump because people who paid for Christmas on their credit cards now have to start paying it back....
