Now this is weird . . .

Stalin's half-man, half-ape super-warriors

According to Moscow newspapers, Stalin told the scientist: "I want a new invincible human being, insensitive to pain, resistant and indifferent about the quality of food they eat."


Sometimes I wonder if some rogue transgenic experiment is responsible for the beings seen piloting UFOs. It's a weird and troubling concept, even more disconcerting than the prospect of sharing our planet with elusive indigenous humanoids.

I'm not sure about the UFOnauts, but I think it's very probable that "humanzees" have already been successfully created. We just haven't heard about it.

Going off on a tangent, wouldn't it be weird if at least some -- if not all -- of the hominid fossils we've unearthed were in fact the remains of monkey-human hybrids left in the distant past by time travelers?

Actually, I seem to recall coming across what I took to be an "urban myth" some years ago about a human-cimp hybrid being kept in captivity somewhere in the U.S. The story was that there was a creature that looked and behaved like a hybrid but no one knew for sure what its origins actually were. The implication seemed to be that it might have been the result of a cross-breeding experiment. Wish I could remember more details or exactly where I came across this story. I think I DID see it on the Internet, surprise, surprise.
