He sounds EXACTLY like Leo when he talks, and he has the same humor, too! Some various quotes: (About Division of Labor i the early ages of man) " So, you need to find the best hunter in your little camp to go find Thumper and Bambi and kill them for lunch." (About hunting wolly mammoths) " So, all you have is a big, pointy stick. You and a few of your hunting friends would walk up to Mr. Mammoth and start poking him with you pointy stick. Eventully, someone would poke enough to hit him in the eye or something, but the thing would've already stepped on your friends and killed them. So it would run off with thirty sticks in it's back, and all you have to eat are the guys it just stepped on." (About primitive weapons) " You would build a club ou of wood and tie a bunch of sabre-toothed tiger teeth on it. You know, if you hit smeone in the head with it, it would make a nice impression on them. But, as man becam more advanced, he would make a four pound iron mallet and knock you upside the head with it. That makes a much bigger impression on the head." (About Copper drinking vessils.) " You don't want to put anything acidic in those...cuaseif you do...you start making funny noises and then you...go away.." (About bronze weapons vs. Iron weapons) " So, an iron sword would go right through a bronze sheild, right through the animal hide coveing it, right through the wood handle, right through the sohuld, into thechest and into the heart...then, you start making funny noises and you go away." Jay " It's a scavenger hunt in the best of times, a one armed man with a box of dimes. Throw the stick and let the bulldog roll." KJP [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
