That one is a big fave. Lot of good Victorian-era painters, many of them painting mythological scenes, or using ancient history (Alma-Tadema being the first example which comes to mind).

I'm not a Nicole Kidman fan -- her eyes look creepy -- but that photo is actually quite nice.
Disclaimer #1: I find I have a folder, ahem, of Nicole Kidman on the hard drive
Disclaimer #2: I'd probably, y'know, date her if opportunity arose.
Disclaimer #3: Opportunity ain't gonna arise. ;')

That is interesting. My wife is a redhead and I took it as a compliment as I was reading the article.
Why? Because Neanderthals had bigger brains.

They claim that their discovery points to the gene having originated in Neanderthal man who lived in Europe for 200 000 years before Homo sapien settlers, the ancestors of modern man, arrived from Africa about 40 000 years ago. Since they presumably believe in evolution why wouldn't the red hair gene evolve independently in humans as it did in neanderthals (democrats). There is nothing in theory or fact that demands inheritance from neanderthals to humans.

I handled the redhead quite well, and with a very fine hand - one that, well, I cannot say here.

Tasmanianred: If you weren't a FReeper, I'd be awfully mad at you for Assuming something about me and a relationship you know absolutly nothing about from a quick post.
Please don't assume - it was wrong. Thank you.
To: LiveFreeOrDie2001; TASMANIANRED
I think TR was just joking with you. I sincerely doubt she meant any offense.
I did not either, fwiw.
To: Canticle_of_Deborah
Hey Deborah,
Check this out.
Thanks again.
