Book: 'You are the worst man in history'

LONDON -- Many prehistoric Australian aboriginals could have outrun world 100- and 200-meter record-holder Usain Bolt in modern conditions.
Some Tutsi men in Rwanda exceeded the current world high jump record of 2.45 meters during initiation ceremonies in which they had to jump at least their own height to progress to manhood.
Any Neanderthal woman could have beaten former bodybuilder and current California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in an arm wrestle.
These and other eye-catching claims are detailed in a book by Australian anthropologist Peter McAllister entitled "Manthropology" and provocatively sub-titled "The Science of the Inadequate Modern Male".
"If you're reading this then you -- or the male you have bought it for -- are the worst man in history," McAllister writes in the opening sentence of the prologue. "No ifs, no buts -- the worst man, period. ... As a class we are in fact the sorriest cohort of masculine Homo sapiens to ever walk the planet."
Delving into a wide range of source material McAllister finds evidence he believes proves that modern man is inferior to his predecessors in, among other fields, the basic Olympic athletics disciplines of running and jumping.

Gym faggots? I'll be going back to the gym shortly, early AM is mostly middle-aged folks, though usually on Sat afternoons many seniors come in. I'll have to take a closer look at the 70 - 80 year olds who use the treadmills and work out on the machines to see if they show any signs of being queers. LOL
Of course there also are young men and women working out there. But I'd reckon the % that might be gay is about the same for PhotoShop buffs.
You're very good at altering images, Roscoe, too bad you're a complete arse and more than likely flabby and weak.

Maybe at one time a “gym faggot” kicked sand in Roscoe’s face and took his gal away.

I just got back from my gym an hour ago.
Lot's of senior citizens on the treadmills this morning (at least I thought they were grannies and gramps...they might have been "gym faggots" in disguise).;-)

Those Neanderthal women sound pretty intense; no doubt they might have cracked one’s head between their thighs like a walnut in a nutcracker.
But... whatta a way to go!

Obviously I wasn't referring to some old guy on a treadmill. I'm talking about the guy standing in front of the mirror with his dumbbells checking out his breasts and ass pecs and glutes.
