Scientists have discovered a new and tiny species of human that lived in Indonesia at the same time our own ancestors were colonising the world.

The 1m-tall (3ft) species - dubbed the "Hobbit" - lived on Flores Island until at least 12,000 years ago.

My theory is that Zanu (you know the guys who built the moon) made these little guys as house pets. What do you think?

Your story is five years old. There has been considerable debate about these skeletons in the time since.

Yes I just noticed you are correct. Funny thing is I came across this looking for advice on overclocking a Pentium D 805. The internet is a random place.
