	Mandrill - LoveToKnow 1911
		MANDRILL (a name formed by the prefix "man" to the word "drill," which was used in ancient literature to denote an ape, and is probably of West African origin), the common title of the most hideous and most brilliantly coloured of all the African monkeys collectively denominated baboons and constituting the genus Papio.
		Together with the drill (q.v.), the mandrill, Papio maimon, constitutes the subgenus Maimon, which is exclusively West African in distribution, and characterized, among other peculiarities, by the extreme shortness of the tail, and the great development of the longitudinal bony swellings, covered during life with naked skin, on the sides of the muzzle.
		The cheek-prominences are of an intense blue, the effect of which is heightened by deeply sunk longitudinal furrows of a darker tint, while the central line and termination of the nose are bright scarlet.

		And in mammals the quadrate and articular bones have become the incus and malleus bones in the middle ear.
		Mammals also have a double occipital condyle; they have two knobs at the base of the skull which fit into the topmost neck vertebra, and other vertebrates have a single occipital condyle.
		Mammals belong to a group of amniotes called the synapsids that have a single hole (temporal fenestra) low on each side of the skull on each side where jaw muscles attach.

	Drilling Beads (for Walter)
		Before drilling, it is common to put a rough spot on a bead (called a dimple) to give the drill bit a place to "bite." This can be done with a larger drill bit, or by chipping, grinding, or pecking at a spot on the bead-to-be.
		Hard stone beads in Maya times were usually not drilled, their perforations being made by pecking repeatedly at two spots on the opposite side of the bead.
		In both cases, the beads were drilled from both sides and in neither case was a mechanical drilled used.

		Marine Mammals A total of three cetacean species (bowhead, gray, and beluga whales), three species of pinnipeds (ringed, spotted, and bearded seal), and one marine carnivore (polar bear) are known to occur in or near the proposed drilling areas in the U.S. Beaufort Sea.
		Aerial monitoring and reconnaissance of marine mammals and recordings of ambient sound levels, vocalizations of marine mammals, and received levels should they be detectable using bottom-founded acoustic recorders along the Beaufort Sea coast will be used to interpret the reactions of marine mammals exposed to the activities.
		However, sounds produced during drilling activity are relatively continuous while ice management vessel sounds are considered to be intermittent, and there is some concern that continuous and intermittent sounds may result in behavioral reactions (at least in mysticete whales) at a greater distance than impulse sound (i.e., seismic) of the same intensity.

		Drilling fluid is pumped down the drill pipe and into the hole at high velocity through nozzles in the drill bit.
		The drilling fluid serves several purposes, including raising the drill cuttings to the surface for disposal, providing the "weight" to keep the underground pressures controlled, keeping the hole stable by caking the wall with a thin layer of clay; and cleaning and cooling the drill bit.
		In an open drilling fluid system, seawater is often used as the circulating fluid along with regular slugs of high viscosity drilling fluid to clean the drill cuttings from the wellbore, with both the drill cuttings and drilling fluid discharged directly from the well to the seafloor (Hinwood et al., 1994).

		The method, called deviated drilling, was hard to control, especially with a motor at the surface rotating the rigid drill string (which connects the drill bit to the motor).
