Guy looks like one of my buddies.

The latest documentary on that was excellent.
I could watch it again!

He was “bar coded”! Easier for the aliens to monitor than asking questions like, “Which one are you?”

Michael Jackson isn’t that well preserved.

How do they know he had wavy hair? I like the line about it being apparent that he killed his own food. Unless there’s an ancient supermarket we didn’t know about!

As a matter of fact, scientists have discovered ancient “food stores”. They were said to be called 9 to 4s. Apparently pretty strong unions 4000 years ago, huh?

The Iceman is DNA haplogroup ‘K’...same as Thomas Jefferson. (FYI)

And you still couldn’t understand a word anyone was saying there. ;)

Poor Ötzi, dead and gone.
Left me here to sing this song.
Pretty little girl with a red dress on.
Poor Ötzi dead and gone.

For his next birthday, get your buddy some moisturizer. ;’)

[SunkenCiv]

:’) I’m a bit surprised there’s no new theory about his demise, as there usually is every year. ;’D

[SunkenCiv]

It’s a real time saver. ;’)

[SunkenCiv]

His hair is wavy. ;’) It just doesn’t show up in the pictures. He was carrying a bit of food I think, in a bag, and hunting equipment. Also was wearing a fur, and it wasn’t fake. ;’)

[SunkenCiv]

My pleasure. Wish I’d fixed the headline before I clicked “post”.

[SunkenCiv]

:’)

Wow, shouldn’t Jefferson be “J”? ;’) Thanks blam.
