Iceman Otzi was a Fighter
Theatetus writes "Yahoo! News is running a story from USA Today that Otzi the iceman's murder is more complicated than we thought. It seems Otzi had blood on his clothes and knife from four different people in patterns that suggested he took out two with his bow and carried a wounded or dead person over his shoulder. I sense an action movie in the making..." If you don't remember Otzi, read the original story.
Tanking is a bitch.

Whatever! Sounds to me like he had smacked his would-be wife over the head with a club, and was about to drag her back to his cave, when three ninjas jummped out from behind a rock and started freeking out. Sadly ninjas live the life of the sword, and came to a fitting end. Even if this sword was just a pointy knife.

He's a distant ancestor of John Oconnor.

Conclusion: He failed his last saving throw.
I only look human.

I wouldn't be so sure of that, think, "The Iceman Cumeth"
Scientists discover 5,300 year old, mumified, Italian badass.

Come on, he has a knife and a bow, is dressed in leather armor, so he must be a RANGER!

This part of the article is interesting...
"'but Otzi is the first known homosexual man that enjoyed being [made a receptacle of lust].... Otzi was the passive partner--of this there is absolutely no doubt.... The sperm was carbon dated.'"
Y'know, at first, I thought: Why would they bother? He's been dead for like 60,000 years; why bother carbon-dating it? Can't we be sure that it's just about as old as ol' Otzi here? Even necrophiliacs wouldn't stoop that low.
Then I thought: Wait a minute, I'm questioning the bottom-line standards of necrophiliacs.
Then I stopped thinking about the issue altogether because I didn't like where it was heading. Ick.
