1. Civilization looks like a loud and confused place...

2. Ya think?

5. When you're up against the Wall of Science, what do you expect?

And so, in fear and hot water, man is born:

"I am La Brea man, I am first man - wife and I live in pits. I discover pain and boredom and how to use hands in self-defense."

"I am his son, I am called Plow Man - I was the first to dig the earth and make the rivers run backwards. There was no stopping me."

"I am his many cousins - I chip the stone. I smelt the rock. I lay the asphalt. Together, we made enough noise to keep the wolves awake."

"I am his godson, Civilized Man. I harnessed the secret of the calendar and the power of the wig to build the pyramids."

"I am his mentor, Hypocricies. I put him through school, where he learned to stand up for a principle and sit down on his own stool."

"I am his father, Caesarian. I sent him away from home for something to live on and paid him to fight over it."

So now, everywhere he went, man dropped a great load of knowledge - forming a rich compost where slumbered the modifying spark of humanity."

6. Or that ^^

Some of my friends send silly little "nothing" kind of gadgets as filler when they send me gifts. Most often these are little toys made in China and are accompanied by a small slip of paper that has sparse mfg info on one side with barely discernible other info/instructions/warnings one the other which are often more entertaining/laughable than the item they accompany. Has to be bad translator whether computerized or not - one might think a computer would have an accurate translation program.
