[history]
The 5,300-year-old "Iceman" discovered in 1991 in the Italian Alps was killed by one or more assailants in a fight that lasted at least two days, shows evidence obtained by sophisticated DNA testing and old-fashioned detective work.
Scientists initially presumed that the Stone Age Iceman, nicknamed Otzi, was caught in a storm and froze to death. But a new team said Monday that Otzi's case instead has become the world's oldest, and coldest, murder case.

You'll do fine...just always have a wordy answer, end every paragraph with a sound-bite...and stay away from Used Arrow salesmen.
You're a shoo-in. You're also foreign, so could also become Governor of California some day...if all else fails.

" (168 humans, most with brain DNA intact) "
That could be the headline for an article about a gathering of Freepers that had been infiltrated by a few Libs.

Sounds like it might have been a battle or at least a skirmish between different groups/tribes.
I am not sure that would count as a "murder".
To: PoorMuttly
,,, someone said "go west young man" and he took everyone with him. California doesn't do it for me. There's fun rides at Tokyo Disney too and - they don't do a gay day there.
