The only thing inside was cheap beer
My fellow archaeologists will know that when you tell people what your profession/major is, many times you will get this delightful query:
"So you dig for dinosaurs, right?"
If we do, it's by accident (but I love dinosaurs, too, personally). The paleontologists bring it on themselves, really, they have no Indiana Jones-like icon for the general public to reference like archaeologists. Except maybe That Guy from Jurassic Park. I hated that movie. I watched it when I was 8 and woke up crying that velociraptors were eating my mom. My 4 year old sister slept soundly. Smithsonian dinosaurs are happier - they're dead.
Anyways, the paleontologists have been getting pissed off about us stealing their limelight, so a few very serious academics in the upper echelons of the archaeology world sent out a sort of gift basket of peace, if you will, to the paleontologists at their World Headquarters for the Cenozoic Era. Luckily, the press was there to document this historic moment:
They were quite pleased and there was peace amongst the departments of academia and everyone went back to focusing on the food fights between anthropology and archaeology departments instead of working on their doctorate dissertations or publishing site reports.
