“Leech.” That’s what the Dem candidate for Rep in my district says. (Kyrsten Sinema)
You just gotta take the cheap shot every chance you get!
Nope, it's the oldest.
It's all a bit silly, isn't it ?
How could prostitution exist before the concept of 'marriage' came about, and before the concept of 'money' ?
The profession of organized religion (ministers, priests, etc) had to come before marriage, or there wouldn't be anyone to perform the ceremony.
Was it an accident or planned ?
"Ung drop food on fire. Me still hungry. Me eat anyway. Oh wow, food better now."
Prometheus gave us fire.
Lucifer gave us light.
Same story. If one reads carefully, there is very little difference between Greek and Roman mythology, and the Old Testament of the Bible (which is based on the Torah).
Here is how “me trade meat for poontang”. No “money” necessary.
Mankind, says a Chinese manuscript, which my friend M. was obliging enough to read and explain to me, for the first seventy thousand ages ate their meat raw, clawing or biting it from the living animal, just as they do in Abyssinia to this day. This period is not obscurely hinted at by their great Confucius in the second chapter of his Mundane Mutations, where he designates a kind of golden age by the term Cho-fang, literally the Cook's holiday. The manuscript goes on to say, that the art of roasting, or rather broiling (which I take to be the elder brother) was accidentally discovered in the manner following. The swine-herd, Ho-ti, having gone out into the woods one morning, as his manner was, to collect mast for his hogs, left his cottage in the care of his eldest son Bo-bo, a great lubberly boy, who being fond of playing with fire, as younkers of his age commonly are, let some sparks escape into a bundle of straw, which kindling quickly, spread the conflagration over every part of their poor mansion, till it was reduced to ashes. Together with the cottage (a sorry antediluvian makeshift of a building, you may think it), . . . It goes on to tell how the resulting barbecue made such a hit that for some time, the people continued to burn their houses, until they figured out a better way to cook the pork.
Why would a 'caveman' need to trade meat for sex, when he had a club ?
Maybe that is why traces of some 'ancient' civilizations are so hard to find.
Fire apes, that’s funny. Mostly because in 1.8 million years no other member of the “family” has ever mastered fire.
I mastered fire in about the first or second grade. They had the boys assemble in the gym and gave us each a frisbee and a couple cotton balls and a flint and steel set. We were instructed to place the cotton balls in the upside down frisbee and light them on fire with the flint and steel, which we did and which made us very happy. This was how they recruited us to join the Cub Scouts. Can you imagine this happening today? This would have been early 1980s but it seems like several worlds ago now.
Where's there a will, there's a way.
