All that hot air, and you still couldn't talk your way out of it. Look at your sentence above, and tell me WHERE in FLAMES did the artist get his "knowledge of Pithecanthropus"?

Dude, it ain't rainin'; that's recycled beer you're dumping against my leg. For a minute there, I thought that this was just the way you argue. Now I'm starting to think that you just can't help it; you probably wouldn't recognize the truth if it ran you over.
