Tech: Meet Ardi, the superhyped, really old human-type thingy

Ardi
Hey bros, I'm Ardi. I live in a cave or something. I'm really, really old. I'm like prehistoric. A bunch of scientists just found me and freaked the (#^(^! out. Here are a couple quick facts about me:
4.4 million my age, give or take a few years; I'm holding the exact date close to my chest
Vampire Weekend my favorite band; I want to go see them live after they reincarnate me. That's why they decided to reveal me to the press, right? Right? SOURCE

Mainly because, well, there are other places you can go to talk about yourself on the Internet. • source
