[Pharmboy]

Pass the ochre please, Mungo...these were my peeps on my father's side.

[oceanview]

[Last Dakotan]

Any cartoons of Mohammad?

[aShepard]

??Any designs of arks in these drawings??

[Ma3lst0rm]

It sure is big but not a surprise. -Fred

[keat]

The earliest known images of a people surrendering to their foes?

[toddlintown]

"were made some 25,000 years ago, Henri de Marcellus, mayor of the town of Vilhonneur where the cave is located, told France-Info radio."

The mayor? Give me a freaking break. I smell tourists dollars.

[Tzimisce]

..one of the drawings was purported to be Mohammed, Islamists worldwide are pissed...

[RouxStir]

Well at least it's reassuring to parents today that 25,000 years ago parents had problems with kids drawing on the walls. A little 409 will get those caves clean in no time.

[NCC-1701]

Is it an image of Mohhamed? If so, there will be he!! to pay.

[dr_who_2]

Pictures?

[1rudeboy]

5 bucks says it's in German.

[Sam Cree]

Art ping.

Let Republicanprofessor or me know if you want on or off the art ping list.

I wish there were some pics of this stuff to post.

[LanaTurnerOverdrive]

[feedback doctor]

A first analysis by officials from the office of cultural affairs suggests the drawings were made some 25,000 years ago

Shoot, the magazines in my Doctor's office are older than that.

[Imperialist]

Agreed, big. Now where is the Mothership buried? This is not a coincidence.

[jwh_Denver]

Here's the picture taken off it back then.
