      When I take my dog for a walk, he finds the biggest stick he can, whether or not he can carry it.

      When I was in high school I knew a kid that loved Braveheart so much he got a reproduction of the claymore, a sword that was easily ten inches taller than him.

      I think some dudes, no matter the species, just like the big pointy stick.

      Mammoths only went extinct about 4,000 years ago, so realistically we should be seeing other “giant axes” if they were for processing mammoths.

      I’d guess they were more specialized tools for some sort of early construction, which is kind of even more crazy.
