Dude, this election's got me so keyed up, I need the release of a good tussle with the forces of evil and ignorance.

Ever hear of the "Orang Pendak"? From the description it sounds like these creatures. Even the location is right.

"Oliver the chimp originally thought to be apossible "missing link."

No! Oliver is just one ugly chimp, even by chimp standards!

They've been wrong before. I don't trust any of their supposed findings. I don't pretend to be smarter, just a lot more careful about believing what people tell me.

Scientists have been proven wrong before. I don't remember all the details but apparently they had thought part of a skull that was found was the remains of early man. It turned out to be that of a chimp or gorilla.

Exactly. I'm a wait and see kind of person. I don't automatically take their word for it! M

I don't take anyone's word for these kinds of findings. You mean, Dubya DIDN'T kill him???

It probably WAS a chimp.

Yep.

What wonderful surmises they could make about our ancient-primitive society.

Would they surmise that satellite dishes were used to communicate with aliens? Rubic's cube holds an ancient mystery of life? Guys with red and yellow mohawks were a fiercesome tribe? Rocks were actually alive and used to be our pets?

"I've also posted a photo of a chimpanzee skull. Even a grade school kid can see that this small person is a hominid:"

I will concede that the skull does look like a hominid (although they may look quite different if viewed from the side). However, it is the whole "questioning what makes us human" remark that irks me. Pygmys, dwarves etc are short tool using hominids. Even if he discovered an ancient tribe of dwarves, it doesn't bring the nature of humanity into question.

*shudder*

My brother sent me that on a tape. Without much of a warning.

That was just WRONG.

But...while we're on the subject, kinda sorta...

The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins. Enjoy!
