Skull & Bones Society Has Geronimo's Skull!
Topic: Weird Shit

College clubs, such as fraternities and societies, all have weird traditions and rumors surrounding past experiences and possible goings-ons. What no one expected, however, was to find a letter confirming the validity that Yale's Skull & Bones society truly did have the skull of the famous Native American warrior Geronimo, taken from his grave in Fort Sill, Oklahoma.

“The skull of the worthy Geronimo the Terrible, exhumed from its tomb at Fort Sill by your club ... is now safe inside the (Tomb) together with his well worn femurs, bit & saddle horn,” according to a letter, written by Winter Mead.

Some researchers are stating that this is full of crap, however, as there is no concrete evidence the bones are Geronimo's.

“What I think we could probably say is they removed some skull and bones and other materials from a grave at Fort Sill,” said researcher Marc Wortman. “Historically, it may be impossible to prove it’s Geronimo’s. They believe it’s from Geronimo.”

So now the inspection of the skull for markings has begun, and it will probably be years before we hear anything again. Just remember this; Geronimo was a great leader and warrior. The movie based on his life? Not so much.
