Me too, but the prosthetics department are marvelous. I look a bit like a giant action man, but the only real downside is people trying to look through the back of my head.

This is just a piece of news that jumped up this morning, it's to do with 'intellectual property rights' and homo floresiensis, to be called 'The Little People' from now on rather than Hobbits.. As I often feel sorry for Neanderthals and the attribution of their name to describe certain traits in humans, it is only right that all subspecies? of homo sapien should be treated with respect ;)
