Neandethals Had Red Hair

If you can find something to study, I am sure that you can find some government agency that will fork over grant money to allow you to look to your hearts content. I won't go into a global warming tirade. Although I have not exhausted that lack of science comic book, it is not worth my time today. What did catch my eye recently was an article about how Neandethals had red hair and used cosmetics. With it being Halloween, that would make a great costume.

So you see this short lady covered with red hair at the cosmetics counter in Dillards. She is wearing an elk skin dress with bone buttons and walking around smelling all of the perfumes at the counter. The Clinique lady in her white smock swoops out from behind the glass case and escorts the stout, hairy lady behind the counter for a complete make over. What color eye shadow goes with red hair and elk? Would a bright red lip stick clash with her body hair? I can't even imagine that she would have any kind of nails to paint so a manicure is out of the question.

Who cares what color hair our extinct genetic cousins had? Are we spending too much time looking at things that are utterly unimportant? With things like Islamic terrorism, genocide in Africa, and a declining population in Japan, we have more important things to study and solve than figuring the hair color of the Neandethals. Maybe if these scholastic giants would devote a little time to relevent issues and less time looking for the most obscure facts available, we might make some headway toward making the world a safer place to live. Boy does this sound like the prelude to a 1950's Superman episode. As the catchy theme song for Smallville goes, "Somebody save me." So goes the liberal mantra.
