Human ancestors made spears 500,000 years ago, 200,000 years earlier than previously thought.

Guess what the plutocrats are doing while our economy goes down in flames? Attending the world's most expensive island party.

"Hollywood stars, heads of state and billionaires will be among the 2,000 VIP guests at the grand opening of the resort. The two billion dollar resort which is located on the man made Palm Jumeirah will feature 1,500 rooms and 16 restaurants.
The four day opening celebration is expected to cost around 40 million dollars and will feature singer Kylie Minogue and a  fireworks display 10 times larger than the one at the opening ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics. The fireworks display is so large the organizers have stated it will be visible from space."

Fiddling while the world burns.
