From "A Short History of Nearly Everything"

On paleontology:

"With so little to be certain about, scientists often have to make assumptions based on other objects found nearby, and these may be little more than valiant guesses. As Alan Walker and Pat Shipman have drily observed, if you correlate tool discovery with the species of creature most often found nearby, you would have to conclude that early hand tools were mostly made by antelopes."

-Bill Bryson

Oh Yeah

And yesterday (and this weekend so far) was pretty fantastic. Lots of boy time, lots of sunshine, some outside time, some social time, lots of good food, cutie rat babies (omg burmese dumbo babies will be so cute!) and lots of groceries (I wasn't gonna do thanksgiving, but got lots of food to play with anyhow)
