    I'm not so sure. The Professor in the article, one Lordkipanidze is in fact an anagram of "I did Lodze prank". A very thinly veiled reference to the incident with the Kipper, a piece of cheese and a shooting-stick, widely reported in the Polish press.

          Like other similar discoveries, all this shows is that at some point in the past, proto-humans migrated. That's it.

          it also shows that every time scientists think they've got something figured out as 'THE TRUTH', these annoying previously unknown facts keep popping up to gum up the pet theory of the day.

            Fine, so they were abducted by aliens and dropped off somewhere else to see if they could get back home with a flashdrive.

                Doesn't mean that at all. It's just one more thing to add to our knowledge. These are very likely not ancestors of humans; just a side branch that didn't go anywhere. If anything, this supports the scientific consensus of development of humans.

                  Science is supposed to rewrite theories based on new evidence. One of its best features. For a second I thought they meant the other Georgia. [sound of dueling banjos plays softly]

                  There's another Georgia? I think that we should start looking at the US the same way that USians look at the rest of the world. i.e. If something isn't in the rest of the world, it doesn't exist.

                    Are you making fun of my geographical myopia? For shame. They don't make lenses for that. :-D

                      I bitched at Google a few months ago, because if I want to search GMaps for a town in NL, I have to add ", netherlands" to the search string, or it returns a Not Found and the map of the US, even though my IP is unmistakably not in the US. I just tried it again. It looks like they fixed it. Am I impressed? Very. Searching for "Zwolle" in Bing, however, gives me Worle, in Somerset (UK).
