Paul, I believe you've found archeological proof that bullying did, in deed, take place earlier than we first believed and this has lead us, here at the WU Institute of Behavioral Sciences, to start to postulate a theory that it (bullying) may, in fact, be a human trait and not some extinction level event that is the currently fashionable belief.

So "Chubbettes" isn't a reference to Chubby Checker's backup singers?

@KDP I agree, that pencil-necked kid with the plastic framed glasses taped together in the middle was our class president. (Anoka '06, Go Tornadoes!)
