Neanderthals were smarter than we recently thought, but possibly not as smart as we thought a while back, and definitely not as smart or as dumb as some people think. Also, they may be an unrelated species that evolved separately and that we killed off, or they may be a separate species that evolved separately and that we absorbed. Or both. Or neither.
See if you can spot the double standard.

Giant short-faced bears. I never heard of these until I read this article. I don't understand why they're not counted among the megafauna, alongside Cave Bears, which were contemporary but smaller.

Lately I have been selling DVDs on eBay with over 500 Army Field Manuals on them. They sell for $5, so it's not a huge money maker for me. I like to look at the profiles of my buyers, and I have noticed they tend to buy the following products:
Coins, coins, and more coins (usually with gold or silver content, but some collectors)
Surplus Medical Supplies
Radio and Radar Equipment
Radiation Detection Equipment
Long shelf-life food and food preservation stuff

Favorite quote so far from the Marine Corps Survival Guide: "...you should note that altitude does not make a difference unless you are extremely high." They're talking about boiling water to eliminate giardia cysts. Still, I can't help thinking of the song Too High for the Supermarket by The Uninvited.
