i've seen it before...
it's little known, but true -- about 2% of the human population possess the physical characteristics of neanderthals.
remember, neanderthals were a different
sub-species of the same species, thusly: homo sapiens sapiens (us) vs. homo sapiens neanderthalensis (them) -- so it's perfectly plausible that mike could be in that 2% -- and, once you factor in his affinity for clubbing things... lol --
