   I think you might be confusing Cro-Magnons with Neanderthals.  The

   years.  It was not because their heads were too big.  Their brains
   were indeed somewhat larger than ours, but they were also stockier.
   It's still a matter of debate as to why they became extinct.

Or even if.  (I guess the senate races are still on my mind.)

Serious, I've read at least a few suggestions that Neanderthals and
Cromagnons were a single interbreeding and that the Neanderthals didn't
so much become extinct as be absorbed.  Maybe agriculture was too
tempting....

Well, premature ejaculation can be caused by performance anxiety, so I
can see how smoking might help.  However, the detrimental effect I mentioned
was erection impotence in older men.

By the way, I gave up smoking at the age of 12 and about 30 seconds after
I had taken it up.

Date: 27 Sep 92 18:54:20 GMT

	Hello all.  Didn't want this thread to quite die yet before contributing
my thoughts.  The best car?  Well that would depend on not only your life but
maybe what you find the fairer sex to be impressed by.

	Speed kills.  Thus, I will not mention any sports cars here, nor do I
think I have to mention the benefits of owning a station wagon that has a back
seat that folds down ;->

	Something I have noticed is that the women generally tend to notice a 
car's looks, especially its color.  It has been my observation that they tend 
to stay away from guys with white cars or gray cars or perhaps even brown cars
because they would think this means that that guy is as boring as his paint 
job, when in fact, he might be an exciting guy who doesn't have the dough for
a paint job.

	I have a red car.  While it is not a babe magnet, it does tend to get
noticed in the parking lots, especially if the other cars are all dull colors.
I used to have a black car that got noticed too, but I think it was because I
kept it so shiny you could see your reflection in it from a distance even on a
cloudy day.

	The double-edged sword of having a red car is, another red car will come 
along that is one of the newer, more vibrant reds,  Then it gets the attention.

	Guys tend to be impressed by the power behind the car.  For example, if
their girlfriend had an old Oldsmobile Cutlass or something form the 70s like 
that, the owner might htink her car is rather plain, while her boyfriend would
be in awe of its horsepower and speed and acceleration, etc.

	I am sure a psychological paper could be written on this whole subject,
as automobiles play a huge role in American culture.  Since I am not a psych
major, I won't write anymore about this subject, and wouldn't mind any 
psychologists taking this idea and using it to apply to the field.  
	I would be very interested in hearing the results of such an 
application.

	Kyle

It usually occurs in the following nonverbal format: person A takes a
huge toke or hit of nitrous (Just say N20!), and gestures at his mouth
while looking suggestively at person B with whom he hopes to compare
lung volumes.  Can't count the times I've witnessed this pathetic ruse for
taking the truly important measure of humanity.

You know what this means, don't you?  It means we should all rush out and

Okay, Kiran, you've got my vote.  (Hi, by the way!  Where've you
been?)  I've tried to post some reasonable stuff to Ed, to which he hasn't
responded.  My conclusion is that he really isn't interested in 
exploring issues, but would rather fight with Charlie until one or
the both of them expire of exhaustion.  In fact, I don't think that
'correcting errors of fact' is even worth it.  He's not capable of
discriminating between facts, opinions, and attacks.

ANYWAY.  Anyone out there got any good techniques for soliciting backrubs
from total strangers?  This life of solitude and studious labor I'm leading
seems pretty cool so far, except that when I'm under stress I don't
get tension headaches, I get tension backaches.

This ought to work even better for you, 'cause you're female: give
someone else a backrub.  I find that rubbing someone's back makes me
feel better (at least a little), and they often will reciprocate.

Absolutely...I too am glad that we live in such a society. However, I most

         Actually, the more I think about it, the more astonished I am
    that you read political commentary into something deliberately
    kept on a relationship level. ( i.e. my spur of the moment parody )

         Here, Bill, synergize the following events which occurred
    while you were watching "Pick a Puppet for Prez" :

     i)   40-50% of the entire money supply of the U.S. flows through
          10 banks

     ii)  over 50% of the deposits of the top 10 banks are foreign

     iii) Foreign fund transfer from the U.S. increased TENfold in
          the past  2 1/2 years

     iv)  The aggregate "troubled bank loans" has just been upped
          200 billion
