My Obsessions: Paleontology
One of my obsessions has always been paleontology - the study of how humans evolved into what we are today.
So I'm fascinated by this story about the discovery of one of the world's oldest fossil humans.
The skull, discovered in Ethopia, apparently still has hair attached:
Amazing.
Yes, I know it was sophomoric.

You saw that side-by-side on Drudge, also, Mitch....Matt is a master of tomfoolery.

The *real* skull was *not* up on Drudge when I hatched this post!
I saw the real skull after I posted this.
Fishy as it no doubt seems, chalk it up to great warped minds thinking alike.

If I had small children I might consider using this pic to scare them into good behavior.
