Cool,
looking at the size of his todger, we have begun to build up a picture of the X family tree


Edited to translate: Todger = penis

Wow! That's an impressive discovery. It will be interesting to follow this story as more is learned about this remarkable early human. :)

I know pygmies live in the Philippines still. They're native Aetas. I'm not sure if they're the same thing. They're really short and almost similar to the portrait of that hobbit.

Elves, dwarves and hobbits really do exist.

And there is a Middle Earth!!!

Heh, seriously though that is neat.

How interesting is our world, eh? It's fascinating how many discoveries we're making about the world we live in, of things both past and present. :)

Like this one (http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2005-03/uow-ham030105.php) as well, where various species are thriving in an environment previously unknown. I wish they had more pictures of it available.

Mmm. It would be fascinating to see more of this area. If the Discovery Channel was still what it used to be, I'd be watching for something to come up there. Alas, such is not the case. Still, I'll be watching anyway. Just call me the eternal optimist. :D
