careful about assumptions about Neandertals; the common perception is based on pretty poor anthropological work done back in the early 1900s (Jars or Flea can correct me on this). It's accepted now that they weren't the lumbering awkward types popular culture has portrayed them as.

Oh, just tazer them, declare yourself a god and be done with it.
I've decided it is a very good thing I'm not flying anytime soon, because everytime I read yet another garbled, take-my-terror-water-and-death-vaseline-away-from-me list of restrictions, I get a huge rage and I fear I'd become That Asshole. Which I really try to keep wrapped up.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Unexpected benediction in the New York Times this morning:
...the plant may offer another opportunity. Now would be a pretty good time to dump a dead body in the botanic garden.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Doesn't "cavemen" imply our ancestors?
I always assumed Neanderthals on cavemen.

Actually, I just need to wake up all the way, I think. Nicely. Not with ice water.

Heh. This was Tim's response. "All you need is a well-timed eclipse and a laser gun" and they're toast.
But I keep thinking it's a fish-out-of-water scenario for the astronauts, where they have no access to laser guns, and are on the cavemen turf.
