   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt's eight-thirty Eastern, this is Coffee Talk. Archaeologists in Turkey found a four-thousand-year-old paw print pressed into a mudbrick from a burned house.

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThey saw the paw prints.

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThey built it into a wall. Then the house caught fire and collapsed. I'm not saying the brick did it, but nobody's asking the brick.

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentNobody's dog, then. Perfect alibi.

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe house is gone, the crew is gone, and I bet the brick with the paw prints is in a museum case.

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThat's Coffee Talk, back tomorrow at eight-thirty Eastern, five-thirty Pacific. The dog is the only one who left a signature.
