Five kids who cut school two and a half years ago, are now laughing their asses off.

I’m sorry.. my eyes are somewhat tired today but I can’t see a footprint at all! I guess it must be one of those “trained eye” things.
To: Don Corleone
Why? I don’t see the connection.

Brits invented sneakers 800,000 years ago.

He must have been in good shape to be able to walk at 800,000 years old! Go Ovaltine! </sarc>

Did they wear clothing? Did they make shelters, windbreaks and so on? Could they have they have the use of fire that far back?”
Another question is: “did they have bad teeth the British are known for?

I can’t see a footprint at all! Since they say the prints were in mud, my guess would be that they partially filled with liquid before the mud solidified. Thus, the flat bottoms in the depressions.

That big toe looks chimp-like. Is that the picture from the story? I can't really decipher the top photo.

I see one thing that looks vaguely foot-shaped.
Looks more like some real wishful thinking by these eggheads.
Looks like Bull hockey.
