the average temperature could rise and fall several degrees within a decade or so.

So when Arianna was talking about those dang Neanderthals and their SUVs, THIS is what she meant?

Hmmmm. So are you saying that redheads are not the descendants of neantherdals?

After having had so many drinks thrown in my face, I had quite a bit invested in that theory.

Until recently, these people were people. Now they seem to be classified as upperclass apes.

I must have missed the day in school where they weren't humans anymore.

All the victims were Neanderthals. Seems like racism.

Global Warming. Bush's fault.

From reading this one would think that maybe the Earth's climate has varied throughout history, even before Jan 20, 2001 when President Bush was inaugurated.

Maybe it was because they didn't sign the Kyoto Protocol. Cripes, they didn't even read or write.

Or it could be all the greenhouse gas produced by them giant vegetable eating mammals. They died out and the climate leveled out. Cause and effect. Now that's science!

They retreated south until 25,000 years ago when they were reduced to a few refuges

Did we not see an article recently about early humans in America about 40,000 years ago? Something does not add up.

Don't use logic, it is very unscientific.
