Fascinating--scientists are starting to map the Neanderthal genome!

Okay, others have finished and I want to too.

Hints please for any or all of the following:

In the earth sciences box, the item to the left of earth sciences and below Google Earth. In the automobile box, the item between racing and go-karts, and the item up and to the right from trains. In the on the clock box, the item to the upper right of Shanghai. In the box in the lower right corner of the map, I need a hint for what is below Nip/Tuck that's not Miami. In the spam box, I need a hint for the item to the lower left off of plastic surgery, the one that's not cut, breast enlargements or Nip/Tuck. In the drugs box, I need the three word item that connects drugs and zombie, and the item off of acid that lies on the upper border. In the cocktails box, I need the one that connects cocktails and line. And finally, in the upper right box on the map, I need a hint for anything off of Lamborghini and the one that's above the Doors.

And again, hints for everything first, please.

Sean, for your first one, it's a repeat word-- what does Google earth show you?

Second one: think of a computer game involving (go) Karts and a computer game that Sid Meier is involved with.

Third one: It's a sequel.

Fourth, and this will break it wide open, what is Nip/Tuck? Be middling specific. For others in that box, think Nip/tuck is to Miami as blank is to blank. One of them I had to look in Wikipedia for, because I had NO idea. (which is kind of a clue too)

Fifth one who has had a lot of plastic surgery (a male)

In the Drug box, I only see a two word box connecting drugs and zombie. If you mean drugs and bomb, that one is very hard to hint at. There is a novel written in the early '60s about a traveling drug addict. A band I had never heard of wrote a song based on it. The novel, the band, and the song are all boxes, but you don't get to the novel without the other two.

More to be edited in, slowly.

Oooh! So far, your hints are helping a lot. Still working on figuring out the Nip/Tuck hint, but the others got me answers. Which then opened more blank boxes (ARGH!).

For the nip/Tuck, think genre.

For the last one in Drugs it's a drink, and also something you might have seen on/just off of the beach in the late 60s.

For cocktails, connected to line, think of a cocktail you don't drink, and I don't know what the line has to do with it.

Above the doors, think doors and ______. That will open up a lot.

Above Lamborghini, it's other kinds of cars, one foreign, one US, and one thing that is a kind of a station wagon/cruiser and also connects to the stuff that will open up with the previous clue I just gave you.

And now, I need to leave the house, just because I haven't much lately.

I always feel left out of all the Thanksgiving trauma zeitgeist, as the most dramatic thing that goes on at ours is my mom running around trying to make sure that people eat slices of the pie she brought. Our one really disfunctional relative doesn't attend, it's an event with no alcohol, and everyone gets along fine.

Woot with much cheating I am done. I am ignoring the existence of the meta. Most of the items I had to cheat on I never would have gotten on my own. Mostly I'm just glad it's over.

Matt, I feel the same way.

I'm in the corner with Matt and msbelle. I've never had any T-day family drama. Actually, the closest I've come to family drama on Thanksgiving is wishing my dad and step-mom wouldn't be so generous about trying to get all us west-coasters together for thanksgiving, as occasionally, I'd like to spend the day with Aimee, MM, ND and Kristen at their Thanksgiving thing.

Pretty tame, really.
