"But critics suggested the small hominid was not a new species and was more likely a pygmy human or a creature that suffered from a form of microcephaly, a condition that causes an unusually small brain."

Of they could have been dwarfs ir if you wish midgets. And guess what? They still exist today!

[Dick Vomer]

maybe they just found a midget burial ground....where all the tall people stuffed the dead midgets into the ground...

Ok, next problem for the great Carnac!

So Australia was middle-earth! Cool.

Knew there was a reason for Peter Jackson to film LOTR in New Zealand! :o)

Hey, HH dwellers!

Come and see this!

[Pippin]

Sorry about the double post, I had post #8 deleted as it was an incomplete post.

[Pippin]

RE#8

Thanks! :o)

[HairOfTheDog]

Heh... I've seen a few stories about this! Very interesting :~D

[Pippin]

Thought the rest of the folks on your HH pinglist would be interested too.

[American Quilter]

It comes in pints? I'm getting one!

[Pippin]

I don't know how to do links so I thought I'd ping you to this thread.

An interesting read.

[Maximus of Texas]

Very true. The Discovery Channel ran a show on this very topic. Or maybe it was on the Home & Garden Channel under "Canning in the Ice Age"

[HairOfTheDog]

They probably will, and it looked like you had pinged those likely to be on my list. Hubby has the big list for LoTR news... but I don't know if he'll be able to see it and ping it till tonight.... he's at work.

[PzLdr]

Guess the Nazgul got 'em.

[Pippin]

I did?

Thanks :o)
