sargebaldy Posted September 23, 2005 Man, this is so terribly timeline. National Geographic even had a major article on this early in the year, which was pretty interesting if you can find a copy. You can find the original thread about this here. 0 Share this post Link to post
The Flange Peddler Posted September 23, 2005 Yeah, that BBC article is dated October 27th, 2004. Though incidently this follow-up is only a few hours old. 0 Share this post Link to post
