That's a fun video, jewels, thanks. That was in Belmar, NJ where they apparently had 32 inches. I'm 65 miles west of there and we only had 11 inches. Our annual Christmas season car club meet/dinner was to be held just north of Belmar tomorrow but now that's been postponed until early January. I hope it's at least 60F by then.

Here's a story that's longest-in-the-tooth:
Professor Avi Gopher from the Institute of Archeology of Tel Aviv University holds an ancient tooth that was found at an archeological site near Rosh Haain, central Israel, Monday, Dec. 27, 2010. Israeli archaeologists say they may have found the earliest evidence yet for the existence of modern man. A Tel Aviv University team excavating a cave in central Israel said Monday they found teeth about 400,000 years old. The earliest Homo sapiens remains found until now are half as old. Archaeologist Avi Gopher says further research is needed to solidify the claim. If it does, he says, "this changes the whole picture of evolution."(AP Photo/Oded Balilty) An additional note in this story said: Sir Paul Mellars, a prehistory expert at Cambridge University, said the study is reputable, and the find is "important" because remains from that critical time period are scarce, but it is premature to say the remains are human. Teeth are often unreliable indicators of origin, and analyses of skull remains would more definitively identify the species found in the Israeli cave, Mellars said.

You can't speculate whether it is "evidence" of human remains: it either is, or isn't - Evident. Furthermore, the trite additional that this could be a momentous key in the further proof of 'modern man'? The proof is right here... in modern times. If proven fact, and I'm merely speculating the scenario here: he was probably an old man, in an age where there was no such thing as 'modern times', (probably because the only sort of 'times' back then was the one sort: 'harsh times') but he was just that. If there's anything I can say for certain, there was no Modern Man 400,000 years ago. That's even older than ancient history. Reaching farther back [in time] than even the Medieval Ages, and to some of us, that's about as old as it gets. Modern Man lives in Modern Times, and it just so happens the Modern Times are forever now, never then (even the Eighties, which might have been Modern at one point or another, is now just 'old news'). Use better journalistic-societal slang next time, please, eh news[moguls]? That's all I ask. Use what is both common AND correct, not one or the other.

dem dirty news moguls!!! No wonder I dislike TV and most "news".
Though very preliminary and unsubstantiated, the discoverers think that tooth is about 400,000 years old. Homo sapiens are thought to have originated in Africa about 200,000 years ago. So this new found tooth might just be a deformed tooth from some pre-human species who had poor dental hygiene. |

Don't feel too BadNick,
since the thinking through timing's as large as it's quick. (regarding the tooth, some dead guy in the forest THOUGHT what he should do)

We're only 600 pages old... we need to figure out how to become older, faster ..
(I have this pegged already in my real-life, but I don't know how to transfer it here; ramblings about random remembrances can only go so far). - - - post #600

I had a very pleasant dental hygienist clean my teeth this morning. If in a few hundred thousand years somebody finds one of mine now, it will be nice and shiney I have one rear molar that is gold so that might be a special find for a lucky person.
A most pleasant part of this cleaning was our conversation about ethnic foods...specifically her Belgian/German/Polish and my Hungarian food experiences. It brought back memories of hunting and nabbing a few squirrels and rabbits for various stews. Plus, it made me hungry and forced me to make plans to head over to the Wayne Farmers' Market tomorrow to get some special sausages. I'll post more details and pics if I end up doing that. |

I had a dentist
who employed her plump bosom, another, her crotch. I'm not really sure which one I liked, like, better; we didn't talk food.

(... continued) There was a POST #14-10, however, and I've gone digging...
-er, swimming, for it. ____ TLTE!-Post#1410 Aaron Peirsol at Santa Clara Grand Prix, California, 26 June [2005]. -- Photo by: Donald Miralle, Jr., USA, Getty Images. The above photograph was given inclusion into MSNBC Network's (I'm guessing ONLINE) Year-end Listing of the Best Photographs of that Year, 2005. [additional: I believe it was included in the specific category of "Best Sports/Action Shots", though I titled it like that myself. It won: Sports Action: 1st prize stories] [abunawaf. / warnet.]

Thank you again.

That would have to be Nosy Be:
Nosy Be, is situated in the North of Madagascar, in the Mozambique Canal Waters. This great island has been granted several nicknames in the course of centuries. The most relevant of those nicknames seems to be “Nosy Manitra” (the scented island in Malagasy).
