And someone got paid to do this study (which I don't believe, by the way). Meanwhile in China they are developing 4th generation methods for manufacturing large size LCD televisions to sell us. What a waste.

[P.O.E.]

It's not so much the image of them leaping, it's the infernal calliope music:

"Pubic Lice Leapt From Gorillas To Early Humans"

Sure they did!!!!!

A genetic analysis of pubic lice suggests the parasites were transferred between early humans and gorillas about 3.3 million years ago.

This means that Obama and all the other presidential candidates who want us to know their ancestral heritage should be able to trace it all the way back to 3.3 million years ago. Right?

This critical research needs additional funding. Harry Reid's lice appear to come from, not gorillas, but goats, and are rumored to be of the same species as the goat lice found in Osama's campgrounds.

Well said! I didn't really need to know that kind of stuff.

Meanwhile in China they are developing 4th generation methods for manufacturing large size LCD televisions to sell us.

All our "scientists" are busy writing grant proposals to study Climate Change. They're much too busy trying to cash in on CC than worrying about 4th generations of anything.

Chief Scientist and Prophet Algore has already figured out how to cash in on CC. I congratulate him for inventing Global Warming.
