That line of Enkidu’s, “The planet is having a fever!” seems particularly suspect...

Perhaps it is the reverse.
Just as Tablet Six may have at least to some extent inspired The Walking Dead [Gilgamesh romantically rejects the goddess Ishtar, who threatens to raise the dead until they outnumber the living and devour their brains], perhaps Al Gore got a sneak peak at the new tablet and said, “this will get me a Nobel Prize in literature or somewhere if I use it to argue for bigger government”.

It made me think they did more that chop down a single tree. It sounded like they tore down the entire forest...which metaphorically, would be akin to blowing up a big piece of land. And the landlord was gonna be angry about THAT.

The next tablet they find will say, Enkidu planted a new forest as a carbon offset.

One of the most creative Star Trek stories. Something you’ll never see in nuTrek.

Healthy forests are seldom quiet. Sixty-five years ago I used to like to sit in the woods and listen to the noises. It seems a lot quieter these days except in cicada season.

I just took another look at Sokath there.
Is he by any chance related to Henry Waxman?
