Yeah, I am obviously not American as I do not watch this so-called football. Hmph.

But I am also don't use this mouthwash, so definitely not an American.



I await ICE to take me away for my deportation hearing.

You didn't watch any political programming?

[Foggy]

No, absolutely not.

If there's anything I really need to see, I can watch it on YouTube later, with no commercials. I am highly allergic to television advertising.

[Flatpoint High]

No, absolutely not.

Pharma
Medicare Insurance
Car Insurance

[Foggy]

2.9-million-year-old butchery site in Kenya suggests humans perhaps weren't first to use crafted stone tools

Around 2.9 million years ago, an ancient hominin in East Africa butchered a hippopotamus and feasted on its pulverised flesh.

Key points:
Archaeologists found fossilised hacked bones of animals alongside crafted stone tools
The discovery pushes back the age at which crafted stone tools were used by around 300,000 years
Discovery of teeth at the site raises the question of whether an ancient hominin known as Nutcracker Man was the first to use crafted tools

Leftovers from the hominin's meaty meal were recently discovered at a site on the shores of Lake Victoria in Kenya by an international team of archaeologists.

Along with the hacked hippo bones were some of the oldest stone tools ever found, reports the team in the journal Science.

"It's the earliest evidence of large animal butchery," said study co-author Julien Louys, deputy director of Griffith University's Australian Research Centre for Human Evolution.

Three million years ago? Wow, that's crazy. What happened to them?

Died due to eating an off hippo….

Or the hippos feasting on them

When you're telling your doctor what you need, he's essentially a drug dealer at that point....

The white-man Europeans came to take their lands.

Ok, let's see them jump out of a tall building and not trust in gravitational theory. (that is a scientific theory, not a law)
I think it is Montana which has a proposed bill to ban teaching scientific theories. Perhaps the Chinese balloon dropped a "stupid" bomb on that state.

Oh, that bomb was detonated a while ago

The Pentagon downed an unidentified object over Alaska at the order of President Biden, according to U.S. officials.

The incident comes less than a week after a U.S. fighter jet shot down a Chinese spy balloon over the Atlantic.

How many of Fogbowers out there have green eyes? I do, I got them from my Dad. My mom & sister both had brown. I take notice of eye color in people that I meet, but I very rarely encounter another green-eyed soul. Do we have any others here?

[Phoenix520]

Is hazel considered green? Both Sprout and the mr have beautiful hazel eyes.

[AndyinPA]

I have green eyes. My dad did, too, but I'm the only one of three who didn't get my mother's blue eyes. I read once that it's very common in Hungarians, but I'm not sure if that's true. My two kids didn't get them either.

I think hazel in considered more brown.

No green eyes are solid green, I got mine from my dad.
