And they flossed after eating.
The Neandertal Enigma
by James Shreeve
Frayer's own reading of the record reveals a number of overlooked traits that clearly and specifically link the Neandertals to the Cro-Magnons. One such trait is the shape of the opening of the nerve canal in the lower jaw, a spot where dentists often give a pain-blocking injection. In many Neandertal, the upper portion of the opening is covered by a broad bony ridge, a curious feature also carried by a significant number of Cro-Magnons. But none of the alleged 'ancestors of us all' fossils from Africa have it, and it is extremely rare in modern people outside Europe." [pp 126-127]

Sounds an awful lot like something from an Eddie Izzard routine.

I’m not even going to look. I know there’s a picture of Ellen Thomas on this thread.

Bingo. Sometimes when I see titles of threads to keep things interesting I make mental predictions. For this thread before I opened it I predicted a photo of HT by the 5th post.

Many of us (Freepers) just think alike.

Maybe these “tools” were actually WRITING utensils? I mean, how in the world could this guy know that these were for make-up? He said they produced black lines — well, maybe they were for cave painting, or early comic books, even! LOL

This kind of stuff just cracks me up.

HOLLY Well, if you lose, you’ll probably get a couple of years in the brig.
LISTER What brig?
HOLLY The brig on floor 13.
LISTER There isn’t a floor 13!
HOLLY Yeah, there is. It was classified. A need-to-know only basis.
LISTER So who knew?
HOLLY Well, all the officers, and anyone who’s ever seen the Twilight Zone.
LISTER So what’s it like, this brig?
HOLLY Well if I was an estate agent, I’d probably describe it as an old-style penal establishment, abundant wildlife, two-hundred bedrooms, all with ensuite buckets.
LISTER Smeggin’ hell.
HOLLY They call it The Tank. There was an inmate population of four-hundred, all being transported to Adelphi 12. Presumably, they’ve all been resurrected too.
LISTER What are they like? No don’t tell me, I already know. They’re all deranged, hairy no-lobes with breath like old nappies, arms like toilet walls... scum of the universe. They’re all like that, aren’t they?
HOLLY Well, the nice ones are, yeah. Hang on, I’ve got one of them on file somewhere. Here we go:

[HOLLY’s image is replaced by a terrifying face sporting a green centre stripe of hair, tribal tattoo’s, and hundreds of studs and rings]

NIGEL I’m Nigel. I’m nice!

[HOLLY re-appears]

HOLLY See what I mean? They’re not all headbangers. Nige is lovely, though he does tend to get a bit narky if you go too close to him with a magnet.

Someone should ping GEICO’s marketing department.

I can see it now, a red headed, female cavewoman commercial...
