Hobbits are real.

[unkus]

Please...you are offending some Hobbits.

[blam]

GGG Ping.

I've wondered how the Hobbits survived the Toba explosion 75k years ago... I recently saw a distribution of the ash cloud and it is sharply swept away from Flores and toward India.

A mere appetizer for the Komodo dragons.

Menehune!

Please don't do that on Blam threads.
So far we've been fairly successful on not turning his threads into the usual war.

[nativist]

The Bible says there were no small people?

[blam]

"Please don't do that on Blam threads."

Thanks, I do appreciate it.

Sleeper troll?

[ConservativeDude]

Did these guys smoke clay pipes? If not, then they aren’t Hobbits.

[unkus]

You’re right.

[jagusafr]

I just don’t know what is - proof of evolution, that is.

Menehune! Yep.

This is certainly an interesting problem and it seems we are some way off from a solution. The “island rule” solution makes this sound like an isolated phenomenon, but I can’t help but wonder if there are remains elsewhere in the archipelago that we haven’t found.

There are a number of teams out there looking. The Indonesians suspended any exploration for a while but it's back on now.
