It's going to create two gaps where there was one. This is a hugh setback for science.

Someone should give all these archeologists cameras so they could take pictures of their new finds, and we could look at them.

"Sileshi said significant archaeological collections of stone tools and numerous fossil animals were also found at Gawis"

Probably from a picnic there in 1973.

My God, who is the giant scorpion, lived 300 million years ago.

He tried to write, but his claws only allowed him to produce crop circles.

He revealed to me "The Book of the Scorpian."

He says the world was created 300,000,001 years ago. First there was light, then dark, then salty oceans swimming with edible creatures. Then came the horrible plague of the nets.

Then came enlightenment, followed by men, who took upon themselves ranks, including "pope of the ocean," "High priest of the alterboys," and "Cub Scout master of the late tent adventures."

The cranium, found near the city of Gawis, 500 km (300 miles) southeast of the capital Addis Ababa, is estimated to be 200,000 to 500,000 years old.

How far away are the skulls that allegedly 'bracket' this skull?
