"Who was Liz Taylor married to back then?"

That's the funniest response I've ever read in FR.

Amazing, every time I turn around, they find something older. What is the lastest thinking about how old man is now?

" What is the lastest thinking about how old man is now?"

I think it depends on your defination of 'man.' It's over a million but less than 3 million, IIRC.

Between his legs hangs what could be a sword

SCCCHHHWING!

If the back is a "pregnancy calendar", then maybe that's not really a "sword" between his legs... maybe he's just bragging.

These guys must smoke some good pot to come up with these assumptions about fossils and artifacts...

"Not bad, considering that the sword wasn't invented for another 25,000 years. "

How sure are you of that and based on what? ...and please don't refer to the pat history books we had in 6th grade.

Consider the question, what in our society would be left to observe 30,000 years from now?

Earliest swords -- copper -- date back to about 3,500 BC. It's that simple.

"A link back here from DC turned up during a search for something else."

LOL...funny how that works. Did you notice that I got 'stuck' on the old 'Calico' thread this week?

I sometimes get lost for hours during a search, lol.
