In indoneisa, scientists have discovered a skeleton of a man that is a metre tall. I just saw on the news that they discovered it was a new species of man and they are calling them hobbits

discuss...
 
Don't know about a site that has it, but it has been in the newspaper recently. They were in Indonesia, right?

What is there to discuss exactly? We call it evolution, welcome.
 
Yeah saw this on CNN, the heads are so small that before now scientists thought that brains could not be able to be that small, since our skulls grow to the size of our brains. It was an Island off Indonesia, the skeleton was dated to be about 18, 000 years old.
 
LOL prepare to see a big tlotr freaks migration to Australia

Wow....18,000.Hobbit's ruled the earth before us. :P
 
Hmm, if i'm reading the link... Does anybody notice that it says a meter tall, and that it is a child? Many of our children are about 3-4 feet tall.
 
They'll probably discover an oliphaunt next.

"Yes, in the wilds of Africa, we scientists have discovered a creature that we dubbed an 'oliphaunt'."
"That's just a regular elephant."
"No, it is an oliphaunt. It's a scientific breakthrough!"
"I'm telling you it's an elephant. The sign beside it says: 'Ride The Elephant 5$'."
"Shut up, dammit! This publicity will bag enough funding that we can create a life-long 'survey' on the effects of beer and porn on scientists, just like those 'hobbit' people did!"

They have methods to know the age of the guy when he died, so maybe they got a frodo :P
 
A 1 metre tall child is nothing new, even a 1 metre adult is nothing new. Today, they are called little people, some might even called them drawfs.

I think the 'hobbit's' bones were different to a dwarfs. I have seen a few dwarfs walking around and I noticed that thier leg bones stick out a little bit and some dwarf's forhead petrude a little bit. The 'hobbit' didn't look like that
 
They have discovered my kind...I must escape! :monkee:

3 metres in total. It would of been funny if the headline was
"Hobbit found in New Zealand" :laugh:
 
Yeah, really short people are nothing new, I mean look at the guy who plays Mini-Me in austin powers, he can't be much more than a metre tall (if even that!).

Don't you worry Danimal, i'm sure there are a few Russian and Chinese nukes pointing at Australia.

I don't know about Russia and China, but after Home & Away and Neighbors a few of our nuke's are pointing at Australia :D.
 
Ok Razor now I am gonna tell you the story in full contex

In the year 2004 or 5 (I can not remember) There will be a civil war in America which leads to a short World War 3. in the year 2011, Russia lauches nukes at America and in the process, totally destroying New York. Then everyone will lose most technology and radiation will contaminate most of the water in the world. We must follow 3 rules to help with survival...

1) Get 5 friends that live 100 miles or less away from you that you trust with your life

2) Get a bike

3) Get a gun
 
Yeah, there was a bit on the news about this. A new species of hominid, very small, and described as being "Hobbit-like" in terms of proportions... found on an island off Indonesia.

And the interesting thing? The indonesians have this legend... it's about these little hairy woods-people called the "Orang Pendek"...

Did anyone think to check if it was a child? :P

"Wow, we just found a new species of Homo(:|) and its tiny!"
"My baby!"
"Get away from me woman, this could be the last living specimen of HomoHobbitus"
"Give me back my baby!"
