Reminds me of a Greek tavern on Corfu I was in when a guy arrived with a package rolled in newspaper. He unrolled his prize of roasted goat meat with a look which clearly reeked of 'eat your you hearts out suckers'

Just horrific. 'The more I learn about people the more I like my dog 'M Twain comes to mind.

And I'd always seen them as such beautiful innocuous creatures.

Seems Big Brother is watching us here in little old Bendigo and protecting us from dangerous nasty foreign ideas. Bit sad really.

This stone tool is over 1 million years old. How did its maker get to Sulawesi without a boat? It’s the first evidence that early humans made a formidable sea crossing from the mainland to Sulawesi at least 1 million years ago.
