they didn't have a job opening for me. i was crushed.

I recently went back to work at the vineyard I grew up on, where they make wine the old fashioned way.

It was my old stomping grounds.

Documentary on cave art: What compelled these prehistoric people to crawl deep into these caves to paint these animals on the walls?

Prehistoric guy holding a bowl of ochre: It's for the ART, man.

Documentary: And what were they trying to say?

Prehistoric guy: Hang on, I have my artist's statement around here somewhere... You'll like it, it's really deep. Deep! ha ha you know, like a cave. Oo, I should add a paragraph on that... Hang on, it's right here. *pulls out an enormous tanned ibex skin with symbols painted all over it* It's a bit long, but I'll read it to you--

TIL:

A "manuport" is a natural item that is picked up from one location and carried to another one - like if you have a lucky pebble or you find a cool fossil or something.

One of the earliest-known manuports is called the "Erfoud manuport", from 200,000 to 300,000 years ago. It is "a fossilized fragment of a cuttlefish resembling naturalistic, life-size, non-erect human phallus."

That's right: we know that from at least two hundred thousand years, humans have been going, "Hey dude, look at this rock I found! It looks exactly like a dick!!!"

Even a 10% difference is noticeable. It was weird when I moved from Pennsylvania and Delaware (yellow - almost nobody smoked in public) to Ohio (I saw people smoking all the time).

Mom, telling a story about their old neighbor in the 1980s: So she went up to the attic to get some of the WWII ration sugar--

Ash: Wait - how did she have ration sugar still left over from WWII??

Chris: FRAUD.

Dad: Well, a couple times during the war, when she was out of ration tickets, she placed all the stashed sugar from the attic on the kitchen table. Then she went and told them she needed more rations of sugar, because the only sugar she had left was on the kitchen table.

Ash: I'm surprised she bothered.

Chris: Well, she didn't want to LIE.
