The Origin Of Man

I finally got around to looking at this story at CNN.com today. I noticed the little headline under the Science section. So, I looked at the picture and read the caption. Here is the picture, with the caption reproduced beneath it:

An artist's sketch of a new, formerly unknown species -- the Kha-nyou as local Laotians call it, was discovered by a team [of] scientists in a hunter's market in central Laos.

I am going to the West Side Market tomorrow morning. When I leave this drawing at Kaufman's Poultry, I'll start a big controversy. I expect to see the drawing with this caption at CNN.com:

An artist's sketch of a new, formerly unknown species -- the Chicken-Man as local Clevelanders call it -- was discovered by a team of scientists in a market in central Cleveland.

I invited a friend who works at NASA Glenn Research Center, who might qualify as scientist if he still has a job, to go to the West Side Market to make the "discovery." Shades of the Piltdown Man.

Who writes those captions for CNN.com?
