When the scientists used to pronounce it like it looks (KRO-MAG-NON) then I thought cro-magnons were cool.

But now the scientists pronounce it like KRO-MAN-YON which is kinda gay.

So if I had lived back then, I would have preferred to have been a Neanderthal ... even though those goofy scientists call them Neander-TALLS.

I know there is a really great comeback/carry forward response to that but I still haven't come up with it.

I hate it when that happens!
