Big Bruv Anthony's ancestry revealed
News just in: those little hairy hobbit fellas do exist, reckon a bunch of missing-link fixated labcoats.
Well, sort of. In a story which first had a broadsheet airing a couple of years back, there's been a further discovery of nine more sets of bones of the so-called 'homo-floriensis', writes the Independent.
Laughing boy was a kind of proto, if hairier, cross between Elijah Wood and Paul Daniels, who knocked about doing primitive stuff on a remote Indonesian island some 12,000 years ago.
Scientists, naturally, are thriled to pieces (a bit like hobbit-man himself) by the latest find.
He's further described as a human-like creature with a small brain.
Big Brother's Anthony Hutton has subsequently been taken in to hospital in Newcastle for a routine DNA test while Peter Jackson is negotiating the image rights.
