Missing Link is all Marketing

I mentioned the recent so-called missing link story a couple of times recently.  The first post was titled Very Bold Assertion and the second post was titled It’s Not the Missing Link, Just an Aunt from Long Ago.

Today, while perusing the History channel, a when I’m out of town occurence only, I see a pitch for a show called The Link, which naturally is about the so-called missing link.

I found this interesting, because in the first piece I had read about this tale, there was this paragraph.

Prof Hurum - who last summer dug up the fossil remains of a 50ft marine monster called Predator X from the permafrost on Svalbard, a Norwegian island close to the North Pole - then assembled a “dream team” of experts who worked in secret for two years.

Couldn’t have been that big of a secret if the History channel already has a show in the can.
