I don't understand why this is in the Politics and other Controversies forum. Shouldn't it be in the science forum?

I thought some people were mixed with Neanderthal, or all. Or I don't know? Heard that recently and I don't feel like looking it up.

Well Cap'n Kirk had a little fling with that blue lady so nothing to see here plus Chris Bosh just had a kid so somebody had sex with him too. Much ado about a hairdo.
