Poor Lucy...

“So,how did the class reunion go?” I asked.
“Kinda' fun. Some sad moments, though. Remember Lucy? I found out she died,” he answered.
“How awful! What happened?”
“She got a job at a chemical plant. Keith Simons was working there. You know what those two were like. Couldn’t think of anything but sex. Anyway, one lunch break they sneaked out to a favorite spot right in the middle of the factory and started making love. They rolled under a railing and fell right into a vat of Methyl Orange that some idiot had left open. Tragicomic, y’know.”
He paused for effect. “It reminds me of a Beatles song.”
“Huh? Which one?”
“Lucy in the Dye with Simons."

That of course is in tribute to the Beatles...

Speaking of the fossil Australopithicine skeleton dubbed Lucy by scientists, it was in fact named Lucy because they were playing that Beatles song in camp and the remains were female.

I've met Dr. Donald Johanson who led that expedition and he graciously autographed my copies of his books, despite being nervous about death threats from extremist Creationists. He did a wonderful lecture and slide show about his expedition. I don't think my teen daughter was expecting to be impressed, but she was.
