Hanging Chad jokes commence!

I saw the skull on BBC world news. Not much to go on there. The big issue was the angle at which the spine attached to it. At an angle would mean a knuckle-walker, up-and-down would mean a biped. There have been some mighty parlous fossils specimens that whole theories and reputations have been built on. Soon to be overturned by the next big discovery.

One of my favorites is the arguments over the most primitive stone tools, i.e., were they naturally or manually chipped?

Obviously, the other chimps killed him because of his odd-shaped head.

Please, everyone! Have a little respect for my great great ... great grandfather.

"Earliest Found" not "First." Their headline writers need some editing.

[Centurion2000]

Maybe they should just name this guy .... CHAD ?

[lambo]

Isn't there a limerick that commences:

"There was an Old Man of Chad"?

If not, shouldn't there be?

[Verginius Rufus]

I loved you all the summer through
I thought I'd found my dream in you,
But now it's over and done,
'Cause that was yesterday
And yesterday's gone.

We walked together hand and hand
Cross miles and miles of golden sand
For me you were the one
But that was yesterday
And yesterday's gone.

We had such happiness together
I can't believe it's gone for ever and ever.

Wait till summer comes again.
I hope that you'll remember when
Our love had just begun.
I loved you yesterday,
But yesterday's gone.

Just had to ping ya.

Digging up bones is no way to go through life.

But Prof Brunet presents a virtual reconstruction of the original look of the skull, based on a technique called computed tomography1) "virtual reconstruction"? You can make a computer image look like whatever you want it to.
7 million years old? Based on what dating method?

These guys wax rhapsodic at the drop of a skullcap.

These evolutionists never fail to amaze me with what they take as evidence and twist into fact.

There is ZERO evidence this creature became a human ANYWHERE in it's ancestry.

ZERO Evidence!!

All they have is a skull, old, twisted, and it came from something that if we saw it, we would call it APE LIKE when it was alive, maybe even like a Chimp or Monkey!!

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES would we call it human!

Now that they've announced the discovery of Sahelanthropus tchadensis, I expect the announcement in the near future of a closely-related species, Sahelanthropus tjeremyensis.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks Blam. "Sahelanthropus tchadensis" -- catchy.

Please FREEPMAIL me if you want on, off, or alter the "Gods, Graves, Glyphs" PING list --
