1. Isn't that great?
I wonder what the creation theory people will make of this latest "hoax".

I wonder a lot of things about those people, but I just keep getting an "error" message in my brain ..............

19. yes, it is supposed to be that 'missing link' fossil



(CNN) -- Scientists hailed Tuesday a 47-million-year-old fossil of an ancient "small cat"-sized primate as a possible common ancestor of monkeys, humans and other primates.
The fossil is believed to be an ancestor of monkeys, humans and other primates.

Scientists say the fossil, dubbed "Ida," is a transitional species, living around the time the primate lineage split into two groups: A line that would eventually produce humans and monkeys, and another that would give rise to primates such as lemurs.

The fossil was formally named Darwinius masillae, in honor of the anniversary of Charles Darwin's 200th birthday.

You're not going to click on it, but 'something tells you' you're going to have to pay for Google. Riiiight. I would pay for it if they would add a stupid filter.

5. Yup. Cute, isn't it? I rather enjoy Google's 'pop' graphics.
They have an interesting "corporate culture."
