by Earnest inthe daily telegraph reported that strands of hair from a human who lived 200,000 years ago have been found preserved inside fossilised hyena dung from south africa.
this is noteworthy because up until now the oldest samples of human hair were from a 9,000 year old mummy found in northern chile.
how have these hairs been dated?

Darwin was Wrong
by Earnest inthis is the cover article of a recent issue of new scientist and as this is a common debate on the forum it might be of interest.
darwinian evolution is usually portrayed as a tree of life from which every living thing originates and which splits into many branches, each branch representing a new species.
since the structure and function of dna was discovered it has been expected that the more closely species are related the more alike their dna ought to be.

The "Jo Ho Ho" project
by Earnest inthese are photos of the felixstowe kingdom hall in suffolk , england , after it received some free decorations from an anonymous group calling themselves the johoho project.
it is thought that the group limit their activities to felixstowe at the moment although other cells throughout the country are thought to be lying dormant.
the police are recording it as a religious hate crime (which tells you more about our crazy government than it does about jws)..

Tetragram Gospels
by Earnest inin my research on the use of god's name in the new testament i came across reference to the tetragram gospels.
you can imagine my excitement that this obscure twelfth century manuscript of the gospels might contain the tetragrammaton.
alas, when i eventually got to look at the microfilm it turned out that it was only called the tetragram gospels because it only contained the four (tetra) gospels.. for your interest it was written by a scribe named joseph and its main interest is that the passage at luke 22:43-44 describing jesus' "bloody sweat" is marked with asterisks to indicate its spurious nature.
