Why women are not color blind:
Caveman days...women were the gatherers. It was known that certain colored berries would kill. The color blind females could not tell the diff and ate the berries. The females that carried the genes for female color blindness die out.
A Theory brought to you from days long ago of sitting around a fire and and having long long useless discussions.

I imagine a little cave child was running naked along a dino track one day,(probably somewhere in Oregon cause of all that obsidian) and a tree root stuck out & tripped him so he fell. There was a piece of black rock that cut his knee open & when he picked it up, why, it was so sharp, he took it back to the cave where Mom was trying to throw this big old hunk of dear carcass on a fire cause someone told her it was all the rage in merry old England to cook meat before ya ate it, and when he showed her the rock,she got this litebulb that appeared above her head so she threw this very sharp rock at the carcass over & over & over again even though she was really tryin to aim at the litebulb to make it go away cause it scared her, and when she finally ran out of steam, she looked down at the carcass & she had thrown the sharp rock at it sooooo many times, she had...
HAMBURGER!

Ed~ There is a book called "The Cosmic Serpent" by Jeremy Narby which delves into this topic. The author went to Latin America to determine how the Amazon River Valley natives developed Curare (the poison on poison tipped darts). He asked the shamans how they came up with the very complex formula for the poison. They told him that they entered a trance state using alcohol and tobacco and simply asked the LIGHT beings which appeared to them, how to do stuff and the light beings told them! This page explains it better: deoxy.org/narbystew.htmand another cool site: www.fusionanomaly.netLots of ancient Mythologies talk about a feathered serpent as the bringer of knowledge....LOTS!! The author's theory is that they (the shamans) were in communication with some form of universal intelligence via what he calls Bio-Photons...in essence they were communicating with their own DNA (the feathered serpent), accessing the 'universal knowledge library'.... Puts a whole new twist on the Genesis story in the Bible! Pretty interesting reading...research into Bio-Photons is currently underway around the world and is incorporated into commercial production of food.... As far as tools are concerned... I don't think man was the first to use 'em...lots of animals use tools... Monkeys use twigs to fish out Termites from mounds.... Otters use rocks to break open shells... There is a type of bird which drops shells onto large rocks to break them... etc.... Cool thread!! Dan |

Can't even imagine life before wheels, think about all the things that have wheels. Wasn't it the Inca's that created the first wheel?
Doc? I'm curious, is what you are writing, knowledge gained through personal experience or some other source?

Man this is one funny thread with some good points!!! Rocky Mountain Oysters, man that had to be some drunk cowboy on a dare lol...
Tomatoes have an interesting history as no one would eat them for centuries because they resembled the deadly night shade...
Among many tribes I would imagine that enemy captives and slaves got to test the mushrooms and berries.
But what about Calf Brains and I have a beef with the one who invented hot dogs and waited till we were all loving them only then to find out about the lips and a-hole ingredients lol.

Taters: The Aztecs were the ones who domesticated potatoes but before the Aztecs most tubers were toxic to humans. The Aztecs were able to reduce the amount of glycoalkaloids thru cross pollination and such.... Doc - Sounds a lot like the Matrix.... You should read about the real ancient visitors from the account of the Dogon tribes of Africa - they knew that Sirius is a Trinary star system long before we Euros did... they even knew that one of the stars is a white dwarf...truth is stranger than fiction.... The wheel is believed to have been invented some 5000 years BC in Mesopotamia but the Incas never had it...it's amazing what they were able to accomplish without it.... I'm really into this type of stuff... |

Darn it........someone already posted about popcorn.........my "theory" is that someone was going to go plant corn and tripped and spilled the corn seed into an open fire; after a few minutes, they started popping and the chickens that were running around started to eat it. Dumb, huh?
When I was a teenager, some 28 years ago, I worked for a popcorn vendor who sold popcorn, etc. out of a trailer down by the lake. They spilled a bucket of popcorn under the trailer onto the dirt. A few weeks later, there was the plush cover of newly growing corn. I was so stunned by that! I didn't even put the two together that's what popcorn is, corn seed! Duh!!!
Ok, how or who came up with the first "alchoholic" drink? Who would have thought fermenting all different types of things would get you drunk??

Kim and Cher - All the caveman stories just prove there's nothing new under the sun.
Nowadays they call it Survivor or Fear Factor.
Don't think this was George Carlin, but . . .
Who was the first person to look at a cow and say "I think I'll squeeze these dangly things here, and drink whatever comes out?"

Ha hahahahahaha! This thread is toooo cool!
As far as alcohol...hhhmmmmm...well, we all know for sure that Egyptians had it, I know the Celtish people made mead from honey...Pilsner Urquell, I was told, is the oldest brewed beer that could be considered a commercial endeavor. (Don't hang me too hard Michiganrocks! I'm stabbing in the dark here.) I would venture a guess it was the caveman again! I'll bet they had a nasty hole or pile where they threw crap into it that started to ferment, then a drought came & they couldn't find any liquid to drink & a baby caveman fell into it. Well, when they pulled him out, he got a bad whippin cause we all know, kids shouldn't drink, but he was so likkerd up, all he could do was role around in the dirt laughing...& then he puked!

I'd like to hear about anyone that has seen a UFO, or a strange light in the sky. Or, has anyone had any kind of a strange encounter with ghosts or saw something they couldn't explain?

What do you want to know? When we lived in Punta Gorda, we purchased an house that was the slaughter house on the Peace River. The Northern troops had shut off the meat acess for the Southern troops. The locals donated their slaves. When I cleared our yard, I found an original whipping post in the brush.
We couldn't sleep at night. Our sheets were torn off us at random points, gems would end up in spots that took a ladder to get to, sparks traveling through the walls, images, faces trying to talk.
We made attempts to listen, trying to keep the events from the public eye. Contractors would fall off the roof. They would just leave and leave their tools there. No one would work on our house. I had to do it myself.
The finale'. My wife and I got so uncomfortable we were fighting, and ultimately decided to leave the home. The home we bought had 12 buyers before us, in 9 yrs. We finally finished the house, yard, and put it on the market. We closed and left one week before Hurricane Charley. An interesting point, my watch flew off a box and landed on the floor, breaking the crystal. An Islander who practices Voodoo told us, we were running out of time. That was the point where we decided to sell.
Hurricane Charley wiped out the neighborhood, except for our house, now under the tutalige of the new owner. The home was unscratched. We went to Los Angles, and returned. When we came back, instead of having a dying business, we fell into dramatic success. Hmmmm. Same product, different crowd.
That is just one event.
The Electricals are an invasion, enslaving us and using us as batteries. They are everywhere. They have ships under the ground. Those ships have been there for centuries. They are awaiting for the prime ship to energize them. They have been waiting for the signal to wipe us out. We will be our food, then they will create humans as cattle. They are ugly and we are politically correcting them. They are here. We must unite. It is a battle. They created our past, the fossils, the memories, they write our books, and they control our thoughts. They have chips in our teeth and follow us with satellites. That is why we have to put 9volt batteries in our mouth, I pulled my teeth, and wear tinfoil hats. They cannot control our thoughts when we are in tinfoil. Then we can think our own thoughts. They travel in the wiring and recharge using the synaptic responses in our brains.
They are here, waiting.
Learn to walk on rice paper without leaving a mark.
You can tell if someone is under the influence of the Electricals. Wait untill they are sound asleep. Get a Maglight, turn it up to full, sneak up on them with the lights out, Yell real loudly, snap on the light and stuff it up their nose. If you see a dark spot in their nostril, it is chip. Shove a needle nose plier up their nose and grab what looks like a dark hair and pull real hard. The chip will come out. You can explain later. Hopefully, it is someone you know fairly well.
The Electricals are building dungeons under our homes and they torture people for extra energy.
constant vigilance

Doc...no wonder you been married more than twice! Now I gotta sleep with one eye open, cause if my husband shoves a maglite in my nostril then tries to yank my brain out with needle noses, well, we're going to go a couple rounds & I'm younger, run faster & am in better shape than him, so his chances of victory are slim to none!
And just where in the hell is Punta Gorda?

I saw a real sasquatch once in the Okanagan, seriously.
I knew I saw something extraoridinary because nothing else moves like that. It cleared a two lane road in under a second with barely two steps, no BS. Still gives me the hebeejeebies...

In 1986 my wife and I moved into a beautiful turn of the century farm house that sat on a creek on a huge ranch (50,000 acre plus) It was where the owners had raised their kids. They re-built around 1940 a mile down the creek, after the kids had all moved out...
Most of the time the house stood empty. I fell in love with it when I first seen it and we agreed on a fixer upper option to buy lease. The man that built it was still alive, I never met him, his son did all the paperwork.
Almost instantly off things would happen that scared my wife but I would brush off...Then she started having nightmares of a tattered man, likea bum, with the top of his head bashed in...
OK I have always been into digging antiques, believe it or not digging around the old outside toilet usually yields toys, bottles as they would fill it with garbage before filling the hole and moving the outhouse. I noticed right off that someone years ago had filled the outhouse. I decided I would start my dig there. I popped out the one seater and started digging. Found some real nice bottles and a cast iron toy truck. About 3 feet down I started finding buttons and I thought they must have thrown some old coveralls away. Then bone. After digging with an archeology society I had learned to spot human bones. I jumped out of the hole and got a small pick and gently pried out a jawbone all covered in dirt. I was getting concerned and really got worried when I rinsed the jaw off and those fillings were shinning in the sun.
I called the State Police and they were there inside an hour with a dig crew and they finished getting the remains out.
Turned out the bones were from a middle aged man with a poor diet and had been killed in the depression era, probably for stealing...Yep, a bashed in skull...I asked he officer, (Sir, the old man that lived here then is still alive a mile down the creek.) I got a reply of (Theres no way to prove he did anything, plus he is on his last legs.) I asked if I could keep digging and he said (Sure) another foot down I ran into another body and called the State Police again, they came and took the bones and I was ordered to not dig anywhere on the premise. Nothing was ever brought up about it, nor did the media hear of it...
2 weeks later we were the hell out of there. 20 years later that area is still very remote. A few years ago I went on a deer hunt in that area and I brought my camera as I wanted to take a picture of the house. It was gone, everything was gone and a hay field was planted where the homestead once stood...
Sometimes small communities can be dangerous ones...
