OMG

“two skeletons bared too many similarities”

“Bared”?

Idiots. “Bore”. As in the past tense of BEAR, not bare. Morons.

And these days, we really are supposed to trust any pronouncements of so-called “learned” people that can’t even get simple grammar right?

Actually there are two different words at play here. Bear and bare mean different things. Bear as in bear weight becomes bore in the past. Bare as in to expose becomes bared. I suspect this was a correct usage in the article.
