Looks like they thought chickens were hot.

This has nothing to do with the Venus de Milo, a classical Greek statue of Aphrodite (Venus) from the island of Melos.  You are thinking of the so-called "Venus of Willendorf" another Neolithic figurine.

Thank you, 'ew'. I was going to say the same thing.

Right, ew. I was thinking the same thing. Probably shouldn't even call it a Venus at all, since that was a Roman goddess that came along several thousand years later.

Actually the very first line of the article linked to states, "No one would mistake the Stone Age ivory carving for a Venus de Milo. "

Maybe it was a misguided attempt at humor?

I have trouble believing they actually hire some of these writers. Maybe they find them in the Border's parking lot? You know, like the Hispanic dudes who wait at the Home Depot for someone who needs help digging a swimming pool.

This guy was waiting at the Barnes and Noble's with all the other ivy league guys. Someone from Hooksexup drove by and told him to hop in the truck.

In my opinion it looks like the first chicken that was de feathered for supper, if they had supper in those days. Maybe it proves that they had roasted chicken 5000 years ago. Does anyone know when the first chicken was ever roasted? I wonder if they had potatoes with it. Did they find any sculptures of potatoes with it? It might have looked like little round stones so it was ignored by those nifty Archaeologists. Which brings me to my last question, was there a sculpture of a frying pan near by? Not Archeologists, Archaeologists. Who knows the correct spelling of this word.
