By week 3 we were expected to know basic greetings for morning, afternoon, and evening, the words for your mother's brother and sister, your father's brother and sister, every relative of both of them, how to count by millions, order from a menu, and what plants to give or not give.
I had to ask her to clarify one word on the third week; and she answered, "I told you that the first week!"
That's when I dropped the class.
Don't ever give a Japanese person a potted plant, if they're in the hospital....
Actually, stone tools are known to have been used in Neolithic times for surgery; and they're still used in surgery today...
Polynesians were stone aged people, until recently; and they're the best sailors on earth.
So... stone tools place very little limits on some of what we consider, "modern technology."
How Stone Age blades are still cutting it in modern surgery By Peter Shadbolt for CNN
(CNN)Ever had a headache so big, you felt like drilling a hole in your head to let the pain out?
In Neolithic times, trepanation -- or drilling a hole into the skull -- was thought to be a cure for everything from epilepsy to migraines. It could even have been a form of emergency surgery for battle wounds. But while there is still conjecture about the real reasons behind the mysterious procedure, what is known is that the implement often used to carry out the primitive surgery was made from one of the sharpest substances found in nature: obsidian. Cutting edge Obsidian -- a type of volcanic glass -- can produce cutting edges many times finer than even the best steel scalpels. At 30 angstroms -- a unit of measurement equal to one hundred millionth of a centimeter -- an obsidian scalpel can rival diamond in the fineness of its edge. When you consider that most household razor blades are 300 to 600 angstroms, obsidian can still cut it with the sharpest materials nanotechnology can produce. The worms that invade your brain Even today, a small number of surgeons are using an ancient technology to carry out fine incisions that they say heal with minimal scarring. Dr. Lee Green, professor and chairman of the Department of Family Medicine at the University of Alberta, says he routinely uses obsidian blades.
After living over 4 1/2 years without using any money at all, and learning how feasible a truly cashless society is, and how much more you earn by working, but not trading in Federal Reserve Notes...
I'd like to find a woman who knows how to live without money.
Realizing how many women consider their husband's dying young, and leaving them set for a life without work a successful relationship, killed romance for me many moons ago.
I wonder how many men would consider marrying a woman who ruined his career, and then leaving her a rich young widow, would consider that a successful relationship?

Huh?You think I feed my lust, by practicing punctuation and sentence structure in CS forums?
And if I wasn't here, because I had big bucks-
I'd be doing something less lustful?
