- mattes5, on 04/30/2008, -1/+94Well at least we know he got some before he froze to death
- OfNumbers, on 04/30/2008, -0/+36I don't recall getting screened for genetic relation with this person.
- senkmajer, on 04/30/2008, -3/+34Wow, wow, and wow. How cool it is to have the tools at our disposal to learn something such as this.
- T8erT0T, on 04/30/2008, -1/+32Pics of glacier man dammit!
- mclev, on 04/30/2008, -0/+30He was gonna get some more, but his wives decided that he was too frigid.
- inactive, on 04/30/2008, -2/+28Are they definitely his descendants? They might simply share a common ancestor.
- palehorse864, on 04/30/2008, -13/+32It took a bit of searching, but I found the pics.
http://tinyurl.com/5ek39t - bromac, on 04/30/2008, -0/+18Except he's from the 17th century at the earliest and perhaps as recent as 1850.
- mattes5, on 04/30/2008, -1/+18Petrodollar you always ruin a good time...
- juniorb, on 04/30/2008, -0/+13I agree. Reading "Aboriginal man Found in Glacier Has 17 Living Relatives," I'm thinking this guy died 3,000 years ago.
- inactive, on 04/30/2008, -6/+19***** Paulie Shore
- Antwan718, on 04/30/2008, -7/+20It's a freezer geasear.
- minorthreat, on 04/30/2008, -0/+12I dunno man, smiley faces are so 1999, he's probably been using them since the 60's. Adding them to punch cards and ***** back in the day.
- MSweerts, on 04/30/2008, -0/+11That's "geezer". Trust me, I'm one of them :o)
- gtlogic, on 04/30/2008, -9/+20How is this news? A 300 year old man has living relatives. Put it this way, you could uncover any family grave and link the bones to the present day family. So what?
- JezusGhoti, on 04/30/2008, -0/+11So many comments about this guy being a caveman. Do people just Digg stuff without reading it? Nevermind, I know the answer. I'll help you out. The article clearly says "he's believed to have died some time between the years 1670 and 1850." Hardly a caveman.
- senkmajer, on 04/30/2008, -0/+10He died only 150-350 years ago.
- debuggercll, on 04/30/2008, -1/+10It turns out that frozen guy was the leader of a huge cult or something and now these days those 17 battle each other for the throne.
- threemagic, on 04/30/2008, -2/+10Dave: You took him to Mega Mountain? Are you crazy?
Stoney: Yeah, 'cause they're ridin' The Vapor in reverse.
Dave: They are?
Stoney: Unh-huh!
Dave: Oh, cool!
Link: Check out the fresh nugs, wheezin' the juice...
Stoney, Link: [howling together] Oooooooowwwwww! Bud-dy - mcse2k3, on 04/30/2008, -1/+9Even a caveman can do it....
- mattes5, on 04/30/2008, -0/+8wait... did you just steal a Mr. Freeze line from Batman & Robin?
- inactive, on 04/30/2008, -0/+7nope, Jasper.
- rockandrollmark, on 04/30/2008, -2/+9you guys are *****
- jdmcadam, on 04/30/2008, -1/+7Hopefully you won't.
- babylonian, on 04/30/2008, -6/+11Kind of gives "Living in B.C." a funny dual meaning.
- bromac, on 04/30/2008, -1/+6While this is cool, and I actually know some of these people, the "link between cultures" bit is pushing it a bit.
Native bands in the Yukon (Teslin-Tlingit, Champagne and Aishihik, and the Carcross-Tagish First Nation) are pretty much just amalgamations of the native people in those particular regions. Teslin and Carcross are towns in the Yukon, and does Champagne sound like a native term to you? The native population in the Yukon dwindled so much that they pretty much just took whomever was around in to form a band. Of course that'll create links across the Yukon and Alaska.
Still, it's pretty awesome to trace your lineage back that far. - inactive, on 04/30/2008, -2/+7You go right ahead.
- juniorb, on 04/30/2008, -1/+6Meh, almost. Let me have a go.
"On a related note, the man's descendants have filed suit against the glacier for wrongful death." Nope, still not funny. Oh well, we tried. Can't say we didn't try. - Y0tsuya, on 04/30/2008, -1/+6Yeah, in the end, there can be only one
- kymike, on 04/30/2008, -1/+6He's the last goddamn Cylon.
- lazlonger, on 04/30/2008, -1/+5you're right. screw those who bury you. at leat i took you from -3 to -2.....
AND you're being generous on top of it. if he died in 1850 and the article says is possible, the difference in years is only 158 years.....hardly worth mentioning. - skyfox2k, on 04/30/2008, -0/+4Anyone that asks for trust and also ends his post with a rotund smiley is catagorically not a 'geezer'.
- noahgelman, on 04/30/2008, -0/+4Maybe your problem isnt that your a digger but that you cant read an article
- DiscoJohn, on 04/30/2008, -0/+4Oh my god it's John McCain's little brother
- cowsgonemadd3, on 04/30/2008, -1/+5No he didn't...
- GvnMcCld, on 04/30/2008, -1/+4Sounds like Fox's new reality show...
- juniorb, on 04/30/2008, -0/+3It would blow me away to be able to stand in the same room as the preserved body of my great-great-great-great-great grandfather. I know almost nothing of my ancestry prior to 1880.
- juniorb, on 04/30/2008, -1/+3Ooh sick burn. *****, that stung me a bit.
- PauliAnna, on 04/30/2008, -2/+4melting glaciers: bad bad bad.
- TheDatabit, on 04/30/2008, -0/+2You are all wrong. It's this guy http://tinyurl.com/2363yo
- brwright, on 04/30/2008, -6/+8See? Global warming is actually a good thing!
- palehorse864, on 04/30/2008, -0/+2I just chose a pic that gave him a caveman look because, I couldn't find a high resolution picture of Encino Man, and I couldn't find a pic of Encino Man that didn't have the haircut he got after being thawed. I wanted to be clearly cavemanish while leaving no doubt who was in the picture for those who saw Encino Man.
- thcobbs, on 04/30/2008, -1/+3I thought he was in Encino.
- inactive, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1buuuuhhhhhh D
- inactive, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1Jeeez .. that's some ***** grammar. Was it written in Aboriginal?
- novenator, on 05/01/2008, -0/+1Everybody is related to everybody else if we go far enough back. Gives new meaning to the term 'keep it in the family'.
- juniorb, on 04/30/2008, -1/+2Wa-huhh?
- ChayesFSS, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1encino man nods his head in approval
- mojotooth, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1Now that this guy is unfrozen, any chance he's going back to school for a law degree? If so then I think they're just dramatizing a skit from SNL.
