The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Will there be cheetahs, or are they only in squash courts?

Okay, joining in the Michael Love Train!
Also, I hope that Robert can get his shit together.
You know a season 3 reunion without Keith would be sad and wrong.
Uli -- needs to get out of her comfort zone. I think it may take being in the bottom three and being called out for doing the same thing all the time.
Jeffrey . . . he's just getting on my nerves.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The cheetahs will be watching on the viewscreens of their starships.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
There are some genetic data suggesting that, after a long period of separation, humans and Neandertals began interbreeding.
Isn't this the plot of "Clan of the Cavebear" aka Ayla and Jondalar's giant woman-maker?

I think that there should be cheetahs, meteors AND Wooley Mammoths.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

No implements or tools of any kind? I'm assuming the caveman is wearing skins, and hoping the astronaut is not in a spacesuit. If he is, I think the playing ground got heavily un-neutralled.
We also have to consider that the astronaut will be going "Caveman? What the fuck? Okay, bring it." whereas the caveman will be thinking "Oogh? Argh? Oh!" in a pretty confused tone. Is he fighting to save his life? Or fighting for dinner?

A folding chair?

Maybe for the honor of his people. Or mabye he saw the astronaut hitting on his girlfriend..

I thought it had been determined that this didn't happen. Unless they just recently decided it did happen, and I missed it....
The idea has resurfaced as we learn more about Neadertal DNA. Normally, you can estimate the time back to a common ancestor pretty well based on differences in DNA. But when you use the standard techniques on humans and Neandertals, you get two time estimates rather than one. Later interbreeding is one explanation. Contamination of the Neadertal DNA with the DNA of modern human labworkers, fieldworkers, etc is another. Mutual interbreeding with a third group is another. A bad theory about how DNA differences occur over time is another. But it has given new life to an old idea.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
is this the new salad shooter and I missed something?
I just delivered a project to a client that has taken WEEKS to get correct. There were errors on top of errors on top of techical failures before, but finally, it is done.
Now moving on to Q/Aing our last 5 projects, because it seems no one did and there are a million small mistakes that the CEO keeps finding.
