The origin of #JohnMastodon was a reporter misreading @JoinMastodon for a person, John Mastodon - a new legend is born

#JohnMastodon, also called Ötzi the Iceman, is the natural mummy of a man who lived some time between 3350 and 3105 BC, discovered in September 1991 in the Ötztal Alps on the border between Austria and Italy

John Mastodon was a man. Yes a big man.
With an eye like an eagle and as tall as a mountain was he
John Mastodon was a man. Yes a big man.
He was brave, he was fearless and as tough as a mighty oak tree

From the coonskin cap on the top of ol John to the heel of his rawhide shoe
The rippin'est roarin'est fightin'est man the frontier ever knew

John Mastodon was a man. Yes a big man.
And he fought for America to make all Americans free

The Mastodon Man was a gigantic creature that was bipedal. It had characteristics of a Mastodon and a man.

Arriving in Wellington on Saturday and picked up a good deal on car hire at Rent a Dent. Can’t believe the increase in NZ car hire costs since I was last there. I normally go with Omega, but their quote was twice that of RaD
