I remember reading about an anthropologist who went into some of the French caves with pre-historic cave-paintings, and discovered that that paintings were located in the parts of the cave with the best acoustics.
I can picture (hear?) them, sitting in the dark, chanting and singing, listening to the reverberations, as they light a torch to illuminate the images on the wall of hunters and bison.
Pshaw! I've been doing non-sequitur woman for YEARS!
For instance, I know how long it takes to freeze a mouse corpse solid in liquid nitrogen so it shatters when you drop it on the floor (20 minutes), I can tell you good flowers and plants for gardening and zone 4 (stella d'oro day lilies [Hemerocallis] do great as do purple coneflower [Echinacia]), and I also know the longest that a chicken has lived with it's head cut off. (18 months)
Hey! Look! No one else in here but me!

Maybe the caves were early blogs?
Ah Michelle, what wonderful taste! I must load some Georgia Satellites on my MP3 now.

ReplyDeleteI'm an easily amused loon.
But look! You learned a strange historical fact because of it! Non-sequiturs are your friend!
That's why he should consider me his best friend.
