On the slopes of the Pyrenees, some prehistoric cave(wo)man (caveperson?) had no idea that they would brighten up the morning of one slightly overworked and definitely bored Turkish labrat.., errrr, scientist, some 17,000 years into the future...
The frenchies seem to think that the painting just represents a dead man, but one has to wonder "Just what is that dead caveguy doing to that bison?"
I think one can also offer an alternative explanation as to why this is the most secluded of the paintings, non?
(Note to all: If you end up thinking this is semi-lame, you're probably right. But my plate of the weird and wonderful sites is slightly empty right now so that's the best I could come up with.. If anyone has anything they think I should know about (or for that matter that I should not), do us a favor and pass on that URL. That's lovely, cheers.)

And now, for something completely different:
King Arthur was in Merlin's laboratory where the great wizard was showing him his latest creation. It was a chastity belt, except it had a rather large hole in the most obvious place which made it basically useless.
"This is no good, Merlin!" the King exclaimed, "Look at this opening. How is this supposed to protect my lady, the Queen, when I'm on a long quest?"
"Ah, sire, just observe," said Merlin. He then selected his most worn out wand, one that he was going to discard anyway. He inserted it in the gaping aperture of the chastity belt whereupon a small guillotine blade came down and cut it neatly in two.
"Merlin, you are a genius!" said the grateful monarch. "Now I can leave, knowing that my Queen is fully protected." After putting Guinevere in the device, King Arthur then set out upon a lengthy Quest.
Several years passed until he returned to Camelot. Immediately he assembled all of his knights in the courtyard and had them drop their trousers for an informal 'short arm' inspection. Sure enough, each and every one of them was either amputated or damaged in some way. All of them, except Sir Galahad.
"Sir Galahad," exclaimed King Arthur. "You are my one and only true knight! Only you among all the nobles have been true to me. What is it in my power to grant you? Name it and it is yours."
But, alas, Sir Galahad was speechless.
