The missing link: A fossil!

"Few things are harder to put up with than the annoyance of a good example."
- Mark Twain

A 4.1 million year old fossil in Ethiopia is being called the missing link between humans and... well... earlier ancestors of humans. Google released a free online calendar. More interesting than other things, I arrived in Hamburg yesterday. In another story, a scientist believes that synthehol - basically alcohol without unpleasant side-effects, seen in the Star Trek series - could be created. I wouldn't be disappointed if I got the possibility of a few drinks without the day-after-effect of slow thinking etc. Now I just hope they can find a way of preventing people from doing mindless things.
