Nobody smiles in the arctic. - FAJ

After years of trying to find the correct layer of dirt to dig in, FAJ's team sets up camp. They go out every day in pairs because the cardinal rule of the arctic is that you never let anyone go anywhere alone. Also, you should be armed with a rifle at all times because there are polar bears and they can sneak up on you. One day, all the pairs come back except one. This person comes back alone and has no idea where her partner is. They wait a long time and just as they are about to go out and look for him, he comes back. FAJ prides himself on never having used curse words on campus, but he was an officer in the Marines, so he knows a word or two. He used nearly every word in yelling at that guy because he was so scared that he had been eaten by a polar bear or had frozen to death. The guy sheepishly said he found something interesting. Well he had, and the next day they all went out to where he had found that bone and started digging. Lo and behold, they found a very interesting fossil of a fish with wrist and finger bones. They asked the Inuits what to name it, and they said the name for that fish was Tiktaalik, which is a cod or something that lives up there.
