"There has not been a double burial found in the Neolithic period, much less two people hugging -- and they really are hugging."

Menotti said she believed the two, almost certainly a man and a woman although that needs to be confirmed, died young because their teeth were mostly intact and not worn down.

"I must say that when we discovered it, we all became very excited. I've been doing this job for 25 years. I've done digs at Pompeii, all the famous sites," she told Reuters.

"But I've never been so moved because this is the discovery of something special."

That is smurfing creepy.

Well, that too....

The Daily Mail (hi-five me, Manus) says that she was probably sacrificed after he died, in order to keep his soul company. Not so romantic now, is it? :p

This is the Daily Mail we're talking about here. They probably made out it was linked to Diana's death or something.

You're getting it confused with the Daily Express. The Daily Mail would link it to paedophile asylum seekers.

Speaking of, today's edition also had an interesting article on the secret online language of paedophiles, informing parents of what such wonderful phrases as LOL, ASL, BRB and TYK (take your knickers off) mean.

Psychotic quick off the mark as per usual.

Hey Psi, would you TYK?

Why is two corpses cuddling romantic? Or exciting for that matter. If it was two dinosaurs, I'd be impressed.

Wow...

EDIT - Read Psy's post. :(

I feel it's heart warming all the same.

I felt that we could virtually see the love they felt for each other, an incredibly long time ago. I wish my love lasts that much! :love:

I HOPE WHEN I DIE I AM HUGGING MY KITTY :D

There is no way of knowing they loved each other though.
