[ROFL] Flash new tools, ah that takes me back

Isn't this essentially the same theory for extinction in the series "Neanderthal" that played on (I think) the Discovery channel?

BTW, Noemon, when are you gonna get around to putting stuff on the "space news" thread you started? I'm doing what I can, but...

elaine: Acutally, I think we're overdue. Why don't you come up with one? The only rule is that it has to completely contradict the last theory.

I postulate my new theory.

Chaos theory: It had something to do with some butterfly in Northern Africa that fluttered its wings for a few seconds, setting off a chain of events that resulted in the extinction of Neanderthals. Some even say it is responsible for the modern-day emergence of Reality Shows.
