Alphaape, yes, it's true that the Earth has gone through many ice ages in the past. However, it is widely accepted without a doubt in the scientific community, that humans are having a big impact on global warming. Yes, some politicians can try to twist words to try and create confusion. However, human impacted global warming is happening without a doubt. By examining ice cores from glaciers which give a history of the atmospheric CO2 in the atmosphere during a long period of Earth's history, it has been found out that atmospheric CO2 has skyrocketed during the last 30 years or so, along with the average global temperature. This warming of the Earth is not matching up with the usual rise in temperatures that have happened in the past, and shows that the Earth is currently outside of the normal temperature changed caused by the Milankovitch cycle.

cal751, if you payed attention in school, you would know that telling the gender of the mammoth would be as easy as examining the DNA to see if it has XX or XY chromosomes. This is possible because this particular mammoth has very well preserved DNA, it's good enough for a cloning attempt.
However, there is a much easier way to tell if it's male or female, and if you are unable to figure that one out, then I wish you luck in your future reproductive relations, (Hope you don't commit any of your "sins" without knowing)

I think we call it a Lazy Susan which is much cheaper but does not self-rotate.
