It is not the boldest hoax -- global warming is the boldest hoax! Even after those E. Anglia emails showed those scientists to be frauds who probably comitted criminal violations, people are still holding to this junk science garbage.

At least the piltdown man was cute. Global Gorebal warming is just a Marxist scheme to rob wealth from the wealthier countries to the poorer countries and, of course, to dishonestly line Al Gore's poclets.

Liberals are a hoax. They preach one thing but do the opposite. They force people to do things they do not do themselves. They have corrupted science to extract money for their projects and propaganda. They are corrupt politicians and phony leaders.

Yeah, yeah, every group of humans wants to have the *birthplace of humanity* right in their own confines.

(including this middle American)

What about that there little prehistoric monkey they were making a big deal about a couple years ago? They were making a huge deal of it, I started to hear scientists were skeptical of it's importance and now nothing. Wouldn't be a hoax like this, but I was curious how relevant little missing link monkey still was.

JAMES MOORE:...in Germany, quarrymen working in the Neander Valley, made a remarkable find... named "Neanderthal" and Germany the birthplace of early man. But soon evidence of early man was being found in France and Spain as well. To their annoyance, the British had none.

Human baises, jealousies, and desires got in the way of science.

Its the same with Louis Leakey's theories about early man in the new world. I'm not sure I agree with them but he certainly didn't deserve the treatment he got.

A hoax is done for humor.

When science lies, it’s called fraud.

That’s what Anthropogenic Global Warming is not a hoax or a scam, it is scientific fraud.

Piltdown man has been replaced by Barak Obama as the boldest hoax ever.

We all know that it is impossible to fool scientists. They keep telling us this is true and that’s why man-made global warming has to be true, because so many scientists in so many fields unrelated to weather studies believe it is true.

Therefore, because so many scientists of the day believed in the Piltdown Man, any disclosure of the Piltdown Man as hoax is itself a hoax.

This is a line of reasoning that cannot be refudiated.

The boldest hoax until Hussein seized power. Now the current Oval Office occupant is the biggest hoax in modern history.
