The framed hominid fossil 'Lucy,' is seen at a exhibition at the Ethiopian Natural History Museum in the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa, Tuesday, Oct. 24, 2006. The 3.2 million-year-old Lucy skeleton has left Ethiopia for a tour of the United States — a trip that some say is simply too risky for one of the world's most famous fossils.(AP Photo/Les Neuhaus)

officials are also considering the ethical issues that have been raised about exhibiting the Lucy remains.

Enlighten us?

What’s the attraction of seeing another set of monkey bones?

Lucy will now become rival Barbie in sophistication. Travel broadens the mind.

How far away was Lucy’s kneebone (the central bone that made her different from monkeys) found away from the rest of the bones? About as far as my house from the nearest McDonalds?

Keep Bill Clinton away from her. I really don’t need to know whether he’d be interested in “dating” a 3-million year old hominid.

Famous fossil Lucy leaves Ethiopia (on a U.S. tour)

Is it true that she's touring with the Rolling Stones?

Keep Bill Clinton away from Lucy. He might attain his super horny mode like he did to that teenage mummy a few years back.
