  • Everyone is too serious: Just for fun

    De Loys' Ape

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fran%C3%A7ois_de_Loys#/media/File:De_Loys'_Ape.jpg

    Most dismiss it as a hoax -- this large American Ape
    from Venezuela or Columbia but here's the thing... it's
    what some are claiming we should find!

    An Australopithecine that spread out of Africa. Or a
    case of convergent evolution where habilis or some
    proto erectus reached the Americas...

    See, after they found the Hobbit, speculation arose all
    over about a race of tiny men or ape men or something
    living across the pacific.

    There's El Ninos, La Ninas and one of them, forget which
    one, brings very favorable winds for blowing something
    across the Pacific and into the Americas...

    I wouldn't even bother with it, it seems so far fetched, but
    need I remind everyone that until very recent times the
    Bili Ape was nothing more than legend.

    So, speculate away!

    When you click on the X to get back to the actual Wikipedia entry, you get the story
    of why there is so much skepticism about it.

    I hope that doesn't spoil all the fun.

    Dude, if you call that "Speculation" then you need a new dictionary.
