Bill pulled up a stool at his favorite bar and announced: "My wife Suzie must love me more than any woman has ever loved any man!"
"What makes you say that?" the bartender inquired.
"Last week," Bill explained, "I had to take a couple of sick days from work. Suzie was so thrilled to have me around that every time the milkman and the post office guy came by, she'd run down the driveway, waving her arms and hollering, 'My husband's home! My husband's home!'"
New hominid discoveredIn 1959, Mary Leakey, the wife of Dr Louis Leakey, discovered an ancient hominid skull, a very significant find - the first specimen of this species. The location was the Olduvai Gorge in the Serengeti Plains of Tanganyika (now Tanzania, East Africa), where the Leakeys dedicated nearly three decades of their lives in careful exploration. The young male skull is an almost complete cranium, with a brain size is about 530-cm3. Louis Leakey briefly considered this a human ancestor, but the claim was dropped when Homo habilis was found soon afterwards. Zinjanthropus boisei (the nutcracker man) has since been reclassified (1967) as Australopithecus boisei. It has has been accurately dated to 1.8 million years BC.«* |
