"This is good, but my favorite story is still Mr. Targett and his 9,000 year old relative. LOL!"

One of my favorites too.

Cheddar Man

"Scientists have discovered that Targett is a direct descendant of Cheddar Man, the name given to a 9,000-year-old skeleton found in a cave in the town of Cheddar, England. (Yes, where they make the cheese!) "I've been in the cave a few times," says Targett, "but I never realized it was home."

Then it WAS TARGETT and not TAGGERT? I think I'll just stick with Cheddar Man! LOL!

I have told every friend, every neighbor, and every relative this story. Most are incredibly impressed. Then again some just don't get the significance of such a find. I'm sorry for them. :o)
