Please, pretty please, can we not turn this simple announcement regarding a museum exhibit into a flame war?
Please ...
(Yes, I know that my pleas will probably fall on deaf ears, but hope springs eternal. Perhaps I'll be proven wrong).

You're a dreamer. I like that. ;')
Thanks for the ping.
I do wonder if anyone is even looking for her brother Rerun.

It is hoped Lucy's 11-leg tour will...
I know there is humor potential here, I am just trying to figure out which direction to take it.
Something about coming from ancestors with 11 legs, and how that explains Nancy Pelosi.
Or, why would Lucy want to go on tour with 11 legs?
Hmmmmmm.....
Needs work....

As for the first, I suppose so. I was actually annoyed enough at the lack of civil discourse this evening to make a somewhat curt remark to another poster, which is only slightly less rare than ... oh, say, the appearance of Tempel-Tuttle ;-)
But, I still have hope for the future ... tomorrow's a new day :)
In regards to Rerun, I don't even recall hearing his name until tonight (and after all those years of the Peanuts holiday specials as a kid!) ... the things one learns on FR! :)

No. You are confusing Lucy with "Juanita", a recently discovered Incan mummy exhibited at the National Geographic museum in 1996.
Clinton said of Incan mummy, "Juanita", not to be confused with rape victim Ms. Broderick: "You know, if I were a single man, I might ask that mummy out. That's a good-looking mummy,"
Mike McCurry supposedly joked to reporters afterwards: "Probably she does look good compared to the mummy he's been [expletive deleted].")
Lucy is an australopithecine found by paleoanthropologists Donald Johanson and Tom Gray in 1974.
That's "BC" = Before Clinton

Hey, to the extent I was involved in that I didn't realize. Must not have kept track of my pings. Thanks for the link. Interesting.

I agree with you, but here's a huge difference between 'debate' and 'flame war' ... my original post referred specficially to the latter ;-)

They are not bones are they? They are fossils, which means that all bone substance has been leeched out and replaced by mineral matter preserving the shape only. Right? No DNA, IOW.
