Man-Eating Giants Discovered in Nevada
This might explain why Harry Reid was re-elected.Whatever Harry is, he's no giant ... The Paiutes, a Native-American tribe indigenous to parts of Nevada, Utah and Arizona, told early white settlers about their ancestors' battles with a ferocious race of white, red-haired giants....The Paiutes named the giants "Si-Te-Cah" that literally means "Teamsters Union organizers?" "tule-eaters." The tule is a fibrous water plant the giants wove into rafts to escape the Paiutes continuous attacks....According to the Paiutes, the red-haired giants stood as tall as 12-feet and were a vicious, unapproachable people that killed and ate captured Paiutes as food. Yep, Teamsters all right. The Paiutes told the early settlers that after many years of warfare, all the tribes in the area finally joined together to rid themselves of the giants. One day as they chased down the few remaining red-haired enemy, the fleeing giants took refuge in a cave. The tribal warriors demanded their enemy come out and fight, but the giants steadfastly refused to leave their sanctuary. Frustrated at not defeating their enemy with honor, the tribal chiefs had warriors fill the entrance to the cavern with brush and then set it on fire in a bid to force the giants out of the cave. The few that did emerge were instantly slain with volleys of arrows. The giants that remained inside the cavern were asphyxiated. Later, an earthquake rocked the region and the cave entrance collapsed leaving only enough room for bats to enter it and make it their home. Hundreds of years later archaeologists explored the cavern near Lovelock, Nevada--the cave the Indians had described. What the scientific researchers found was staggering: over 10,000 artifacts were unearthed including the mummified remains of two red-haired giants--one, a female 6.5-feet tall, the other male, over 8-feet tall....As the excavation of the cave progressed, the archaeologists came to the inescapable conclusion that the Paiutes myth was no myth; it was true. What led them to this realization was the discovery of many broken arrows that had been shot into the cave and a dark layer of burned material under sections of the overlaying guano....
