    It's actually not called the Venus of Willendorf anymore, I think. That particular name was a not-so funny joke referring to the "Hottentot Venus" (also not called that anymore). The joke is hilarious in that way where we look at amazing works of art and make them racist and awful.

    Oh my God. Could we please just give the weight posts a rest? I don't like being reminded that fat people exist, and that they have opinions on weight. ugh!

    Its interesting that the figure is headless. Wonder if the ring was used to hang it in the house, or as a necklace, form a belt or something else.

    @inabook: I just looked at the picture, and read the article. I guess cock ring is out of the question with that diameter.

    Running Gingerbread man. Awesome


    (When he runs out the army base with some medals in hand, reference to some thieves stealing some Victoria Crosses in NZ, was a big deal)

    See, she's naked because even back then they didn't make big enough clothes. The designers didn't like the way their animal skins looked on a fat body.

    I just wish ancient peoples wouldn't glorify unhealthy lifestyles like this. What kind of message did this send to prehistoric women??? That they can be fat AND idolized???

    Great, now that we have AGAIN established that she was African, can we pull the plug on the Catherine Zeta Jones film? Why don't they skip the middle woman and just have her do a flick about Elizabeth Taylor, instead of reprising Liz's most offensive and poorly cast role?

    They should let Angela from "Bones" do the reconstruction. Lack of evidence never seems to stop her. After the commercial break, she's always right there with a perfect hologram.

    Poor Arsinoe, first her sister puts her to death, and her exhumed body is mainly interesting to us in order to see what her murderer looked like. I can only imagine the money she's spent in the afterlife on shrinks.

    This is like the Aesop debate: the man clearly was African, being that his stories featured African animals that not many Greeks would have ever imagined. But oh no! some 14th century guy drew him with white skin, so he can't have been African!
