I would have gone with Footloose. Epic soundtrack, young Bacon and SJP, Dianne Wiest in Supportive Wife role #32, Chris Penn, tractor chicken... What's not to love?

Plus, Hubby as Sleeping Guy in Church and the City Council Meeting! With his shrew of an ex-wife next to him. You can get paid extra for sleeping when you're an extra.

When did Neanderthals go extinct? 40-50 thousand years ago? I wonder if there are any cave painting of them. Probably none that have been found so far....

Not in Australia, certainly. I don't think there's any evidence the Neandertals ever got there. (The fact the Aborigines did pretty much indicates that they were at that time the most technologically advanced people on earth, to manage a sea voyage of that length.) I don't think we've yet found cave paintings old enough anywhere else either. (Note too, it may be that the Genyornis pictures mat not be that old either; it may be that we're wrong about when it went extinct.)

I don't think Neaderthal got much further east than central Asia.

Congrats, msbelle.

O rly? I'll have to look for him next time I watch it.

Liese, I empathize with your cold-induced suffering. I haven't had much coughing, but the snot has been epic. Keeping my fingers crossed I don't get a sinus infection.

Fossils say about 30,000 years ago, though some interpret evidence of fires at Gibraltar 24,000 years ago to indicate Neanderthal habitation. I haven't heard of any cave paintings of or by them, but other forms of their art may have been discovered: [link]

Beefcakiest pulp science fiction book covers of all time?

Interestingly, the URL says "the-gayest-science-fiction-book-covers-of-all-time/gallery/" Glad someone caught that, but sad that it happened in the first place.

I'm trying to work out from the comments when they changed the title of the article from gay to beefcakey, since the comments are a lot of "gay? rly?"

Two of the five covers don't actually feature guys that could in any way be interpreted as "beefcakey." (Or gay either, so I'm wondering if they just flung random paperback covers up there. Dudes, if you want a cover that shouts gay, try Farmer's A Feast Unknown.)

The last one barely features people. It's kinda weird.

Oops. Meant this for tech.
