    He might be the hominid on the right. It's really difficult to say with any degree of certainty, as all hominids look pretty much alike.

    Your childish name-calling and insults are noted, Pendragon.

    It's extremely difficult to insult a dead man, Donkey.

    I merely pointed out the fact that Bukowski had all he physical characteristics of a lower order hominid.

    Little known Bukowski fact: In 1969, he appeared as an extra in the Dawn of Man scene from 2001. No makeup, costumes, or prosthetics were required.

    His role caught the attention Hollywood producers, who immediately cast him opposite Joan Crawford as the title character in Trog.
