You have to wonder the who, how, and why of, the first guy that looked at a chicken and said,
"I think I'm gonna eat the next thing that pops out of that chickens butt " ? :eek:

I have a theory about how people came to eat weird / gross foods:

1. Saw an animal eat one, saw animal didn't die.

2. Desperately hungry enough that you'll eat a bug, spoiled cabbage, sea snail, etc.

What I find fascinating about milk drinking in humans is that lactose tolerance is a fairly recent mutation and not all human societies have the gene.

After that success, I wonder how the idea of eating things from animals bums went for them...

Could that be the root of the term "your just chicken schitt"?

I imagine that humans were raiding birds' nests for eggs long before they domesticated chickens. Taking eggs from a nest doesn't require much thought about exactly how that egg came to be.

Before they were even homo sapiens....lots of animals raid bird eggs.

Just last night my digital multimeter showed signs of "dementia" from low battery and since in the drawer where I keep the stocks, the only 9 volt was without packaging .... I didn't think to try it with one of the other multimeters I have but I used the language, as I learned to do as a kid .... so long ago! :):):facepalm::facepalm::D:D

Using your tongue as a voltmeter.....


This is what audiophiles need to be doing if they want to be consistent in their methodology of ascertaining truth. You know.. those who say we don't need analyzers or machines telling them what something is as a matter of fact, and their own senses could never be compared to what machines could detect.

Or the opposite.

If properly under the influence, my sound system improves immensely, while the microphones say it is the same.

Finland may not be as unmanageable as some other countries...
