Well, history moves very fast. And, despite everything, pretty much in the right direction.

I just hope our brethren and sistren around the world realize this and, em, shape up.

Here’s a link to his other blog

I remember in my anthropology class during undergrad we talked about the avg “work” day of a hunter-gatherer ie. how much time was actually spent hunting & gathering (didn’t really include prep and such). Something like 17 hrs a week! Yep, that’s it. We’re doing something wrong w/ this 40 hr work week thing.

My sociology professor was Mexican and he taught that brown people were born with the inate knowledge of how to grind corn. He “proved” this by saying his niece knew what to do when she sat at a mill stone before anyone told her. What else would you do with a rock, a bowl, and some dried corn? He also spent a lot of time teaching that the mayan pyramids were built by telekinesis.

Pshaw. We all know it was the Freemasons. (They can evidently go back in time. Or go back in time and comandeer alien spaceships.)

TattooedIntellectual,

I have a comic strip where two cavemen are sitting around and one remarks to the other “Something’s just not right – our air is clean, our water is pure, we all get plenty of exercise, everything we eat is organic and free-range, and yet nobody lives past thirty.”

I have no problems with the 40 hour work week. 😉

Whoa! Check out this guy’s blog. Really excellent nature photography. It’s in Estonian, so that’s all I know. I ran across it doing a google images search of “weasel” (natch). Very nice weaselpic in December 2006.

He’s really good, isn’t he?

Note the weasel’s obligatory ‘I’m so pissed!’ look on its mush…

And another… January 2007.

Haven’t spotted any badgers yet. Probably too busy to ponce around posing for the camera.

Yes, he’s really good. You know how I can tell? I’ve taken about half of those pictures myself expecting them to look like that, but when I get them home they just look stupid.

I shared your really cool nature blog find w/ GCP b/c I knew you wouldn’t sweasel 🙂

Hey, what’s the deal Stoaty? Getting TI to do yer posting
for ya now?
By the way, I’ve got yer stapler right c’here….Heh™

…and the over the seas badger’s right, you deserve us.

I feel weird posting in other places, NB. I don’t mind commenting, but posting on the main page makes me uncomfortable — I have no idea what people find interesting.

Surely you are doing the pulling of our leg. Write any word, or none at all (for examples, see: Goldstein, Jeff), and people will be amused.

Sweasel, hon. I just post anything over there. If people like it, it gets comments, if they don’t, it doesn’t. C’est la vie.

You kidding? You ever looked to see what kind of nutballs are over there?

Or the kind of stuff that does get posted over there?

Go ahead, join the nutcakes!

They need to update the Michigan part of the map.

No one lives here anymore.

I think the city I grew up in is actually on that map, I know why too.

I remember reading or hearing somewhere that it wasn’t till the 1920’s that over 50% of the US population was in towns of 2,500 or more. Kind of an interesting fact.

Yeah, I tried to find that statistic about the number of people who worked on farms at the turn of the last century but I couldn’t turn it up. It was a huge percentage, though.
