And then there was my friend who claims that she overheard two little old ladies discussing the La Brea tar pits (in Los Angeles: Mammoths and other prehistoric animals got trapped there in the tar, and there is now a museum showing both animals that were dug out and the work still in progress).
She swears that one lady said to the other "Isn't it amazing that such big animals lived right by such a busy street as Wilshire?"
