Ethiopia, one of the world's poorest countries, is keen to lure more visitors to attractions including archaeological sites, centuries-old churches carved into solid rock and ancient cities like Axum to earn more foreign currency. A Marxist coup... Wars ... Famine ... The whole Horn of Africa has had a bum rap in the travel biz!

Working towards my final *PING!*
As always, a FReep mail will get you on or off this Houston and Texas topics ping list.
p.s. - I am getting out of the ping list business. This list is available to anyone on this list that wishes to take it over. I will still ping for activities of the HAT Chapter.

Ancient writings found at the site, and stored in a vault in Addis Ababa, have recently been deciphered to reveal the following message:
You can't be in the show, Lucy.
To: Flyer
I am getting out of the ping list business. Mini shirts and Hot Pants disappear.
Elvis dies
Republicans take over the Texas State House
We take the Texas House
Coke produces New Coke
We take the Texas Senate
Flyer quits the ping business!
Another era draws to a close ............ ;-(

Interesting that DonJo doesn't even rate a mention.
To: Flyer
Why are you getting out of the ping business? I like being pinged to threads like this. I'm looking forward to seeing this exhibition.
I think it's great that Lucy is coming to Houston. I rarely go to the musuem, but I'll check it out in 2006, for certain!

If Lucy was a knuckle-walker, she's an even better missing link than she would be otherwise. But alas, her legs are too long for her to walk on all fours and not look ridiculous.

PING. [This list is for the evolution side of evolution threads, and some other science topics like cosmology. Long-time list members get all pings, but can request evo-only status. New additions will be evo-only, but can request all pings. FReepmail me to be added or dropped. Specify all pings or you'll get evo-pings only.]

Weegee has a copy of my list, but I'm not sure if he wants to be known as the official pinger. Other responsible folks are welcome to it, too.
I just had to make room on my plate for other things. Maintaining and judiciously using a ping list can take more time than one might imagine. (I actually read the article before I use my list to make sure it is appropriate)

That's right. No mention of him in a long time. Why is this going to Houston?

Lucy is NOT an hominid! And people who actually know what they are talking about say she is. Now, who am I going to believe..?

Lucy is NOT an hominid! If biologists want to place Lucy in the family Hominidae, they are free to do so. It is not a matter of right or wrong, only convention. If it were a matter of right or wrong, then you are wrong, because the current concensus does put her there.
