In a breathtaking discovery, scientists working on a remote Indonesian island say they have uncovered the bones of a human dwarf species marooned for eons while modern man rapidly colonized the rest of the planet.

One tiny specimen, an adult female measuring about 3 feet tall, is described as "the most extreme" figure to be included in the extended human family. Certainly, she is the shortest.

This hobbit-sized creature appears to have lived as recently as 18,000 years ago on the island of Flores, a kind of tropical Lost World populated by giant lizards and miniature elephants.

LMAO.


But come on, haven't we heard of these things before?  Midgets?  Pygmies?  Munchkins, anyone?  My God, short people isn't a new concept.  A whole clusterfuck of them, dead mind you, is nothing to spaz on about.
