Did you watch it? I did 'go there' a few times. At 'half time' they had kittens entertaining the 'audiance'. Too funny.
Oh.....and I didn't have the need to leave the Super Bowl (all that often) since the Steeler's did win!!!!!

The commercial I liked best wasn't even mentioned. I guess because it was played during the 'pre game' show.
Guy is driving his car watching the GPS.....and the voice on the GPS says "Turn right......" and he does....right into a store window....and then the voice on the GPS continues: "......in 50 feet."

Oh.....and the one they did mention: Federal Express....with cave men.

I liked the Bud commercial with the Clydesdales playing football, as the sheep look on. Then, a shorn sheep runs onto the field. One of the cowboys says, "Streaker." Then after the sheep stands on its hind legs and does a dance, the cowboy says, "I really didn't need to see that."

I missed both the pregame and and kitten halftime on the puppy bowl.

One favorite commercial was the young Clydesdale pulling the wagon. "I won't tell if you won't."

Here's another one that I really liked:
Leonard Nimoy needing an Advil before going on stage, at a Convention, and giving the Vulcan Salute!

Nothing much on TV that we were interested in so we watched "The Crying Camel". It's a very cute movie about a camel, born white and rejected by his mother and the search for another mom for him.

Check it out when you get the chance.

A team of scientists led by James M. Clark, Ronald B. Weintraub Associate Professor of Biology at The George Washington University, and Xu Xing of the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP) in Beijing, have discovered a new genus and species of dinosaur that is the oldest known and most primitive tyrannosauroid.

Researchers Assemble Second Non-Human Primate Genome

[...]A multi-center team has deposited the draft genome sequence of the rhesus macaque monkey into free public databases for use by the worldwide research community, [...]
Overall, the rhesus genome shares about 92 to 95 percent of its sequence with the human (Homo sapiens) and more than 98 percent with the chimpanzee.

Why do people want to believe they evolved from Monkeys....let alone sludge in some pool of yuk?

I don't know that anybody particularly wants to think we evolved from any particular earlier type. Inferring it and wanting it are two different things, after all.

Well you can't look at it as a pool of yuk. More like a petri dish. That sounds more scientific. I think. And in all likelihood more to the fact of what has been proposed in this theory.

And the monkey lineage view is vagrantly misused. If I remember of what I've read in the past what is being said is that the lineage is similar and there are many common traits between the species. Please stop to consider that dogs may be able to smell physical problems within our bodies. Medical conditions such as some cancers as a 'for instance'.

There MUST be far more common denominators between species then far too many folks are willing to admit exist.

Actually, I kinda like the idea of be related to a Golden Lab.
