1234.0. "Prehistoric Time Trialists?" by CESARE::JOHNSON (At home he feels like a tourist) Wed Jul 05 1989 06:03

The following is from today's Vogon News Service:
    
    "Strange disc-shaped features in slate deposits have been found in 
    California (Yreka - is that a mispelt Eureka?). They are between 2 and 7
    cm across and 2 - 4 mm thick. They resemble very tiny bicycle wheels
    with a central core and an outer rim, but with most of the spokes 
    missing."
    
It seems that even our distant ancestors were trying to get by with
18-spoke wheels....
