The archeaologist looked at his report. It was too brief and inconclusive but enough to get him a huge grant. Amen

Very funny. I think I saw some of these stick figures on some very old paper (from when my kids were in kindergarten). Homo juvenilis delinquentis.

Why does every discovery have to be sacred or related to rituals? Why can't it just be that BillyBob had nothing better to do than carve a face into a rock?

Right on! That very thought crosses my mind every time I read about prehistoric man, which is frequently. I was a professional illustrator for many years and still spend much of my free time doodling. Doodling, drawing for pleasure, is how most artists hone their skills and I'm sure our ancestors did the same.

Ted Kennedy = Rock Man -> We have a winner. Now if we could just fossilize that old fossil, we'd be in business.

Looks more like the Mother Teresa Cinnamon Roll.

Don't forget our Martian ancestors. (Note the big black alien eyes of their forefathers)
