My thoughts almost exactly! Everytime I see these reports I wonder what future generations will think about us if the only surviving skeletons are of Devito and Shaquille? What wonderful surmises they could make about our ancient-primitive society.

Never accust Reuters of being careful with the facts. I'm suprised they didn't say Dubya killed him.

The partial skeleton of Homo floresiensis, found in a cave on the island of Flores, is of an adult female that was a metre (3 feet) tall, had a chimpanzee-sized brain and was substantially different from modern humans.

In other words, it was a small ape.

Just 'cause something was sorta shaped like a person and three foot tall don't make it a hobbit. Yeesh...everyone wants to get on the bandwagon these days...
