February 7, 2007: Eternal embrace

That's lead archaeologist Elena Menotti, describing this find: of a couple who have been embracing each other for over 5000 years.

They were buried together during the Neolithic peroid, near Mantua, Italy - and they were just discovered yesterday.

But it's not completely romantic:

I saw this when I first woke up on Yahoo! Oh, the ancient Etruscans. Wait, not Etruscans that's too recent. Oh, nevermind.

Maybe they were really strangeling eachother.

Not completely, but a little bit maybe?
Nothing says I Love You like being sacrificed I guess.

The bed breath must be horrible.

lol!

Maybe they brushed before they were sacrificed. :-)

I can't figure out what that picture is?

Nothing to eat here, people. Keep moving.

A scene from Babylon 5, where two people strangle each other.

He was grabbing her by the throat and she was kneeing him in the groin when the bus hit them. Don't these archaeologists know anything.:smack:

No wonder they felt they were well matched lovers...... overbite on the right and underbite on the left.....perfect together.

I wonder if it's too late to get that printed for Valentine's Day?

Same city of Romeo & Juliet.
Aaaannnnd?

What's this? A petrified marital aid?

Maybe they were Jewish. If they were having sex when they died, that would be her nail file. :-)

What, you've never had jerky?

:lol2:

The Daily Mail link says Mr. Skinny on the left has an arrow in his spine, and the Miz has an arrowhead in her side. This romance did not end well.

Makes me think of the last scene of that movie "The War of the Roses".

Seriously though, Ick. :greenface Archaeologists might get all weepy and runny inside as they yank these bones out of the ground, and then salivate over the publicity, but I wish they'd cover 'em up again and go spend their grant money elsewhere. Poor ol' bones :thepain: .

Hopefully these two will get to share a drawer in some museum attic. :hugnkiss: Maybe the curators will hear 'em rustlin' around in there.

"I saw this when I first woke up on Yahoo!"
I understand your dedication to the internet, it's a wonderful resource... but do you really want to sleep in it?
How do you get any rest; all that yabber, yabber, yabber.

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sorry its my homepage? :(

Silly joke, badly stated.
My apologies.
Still, it'd have to be a pretty big book before I could snooze on just one page.
Who's up for some sardines on toast?
Me please.

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hahaha i only meant that after I wake up, turn on comp, get on Mozilla; it was the headline for my homepage. And I've never had sardines.

You've ne...
Never had...
NEVER!?
Nary a single sardine?
BuhBuhBut...

Ooh, hey, I was about to say that we'd finally reached food post point, but I'd forgotton LabRats' lovely jerky post.
Only one thing better than sardines, and that's jerky.

Oh OH! OH! Were they Duracell?
