though i'm not totally
convinced it's true.
Five thousand years after he died, the first known gay caveman has emerged into the daylight.
According to archaeologists, the way he was buried suggests that he was of a different sexual persuasion.
The skeleton of the late Stone Age man, unearthed during excavations in the Czech Republic, is said to date back to between 2900 and 2500 BC.
During that period, men were traditionally buried lying on their right side with the head pointing towards the west; women on their left side with the head facing east.
In this case, the man was on his left side with his head facing west. Another clue is that men tended to be interred with weapons, hammers and flint knives as well as several portions of food and drink to accompany them to the other side.
Women would be buried with necklaces made from teeth, pets, and copper earrings, as well as domestic jugs and an egg-shaped pot placed near the feet.
The ‘gay caveman’ was buried with household jugs, and no weapons. (via)
i do know that thomas wilhelm sleeps on his left side, with his head facing west, and all his pots and pans in bed with him.

actually, i usually sleep on my left side with my head facing north. but don't even get me started on what that means for my sexuality.
thats funny, i pictured thomas wilhelm when i was reading this story too.
i've been picturing an effeminate caveman, stalking around in a floral apron hoarding his kitchenwares. and he looks just like thomas wilhelm.
