Of course, for generations his ancestors tried to kill two stones with one bird.

What! I’m not the sophisticated type what am I gonna do go hungry!?! lol

[SunkenCiv]

Pass that last drumstick please.

[SunkenCiv]

It was still the nest big thing on the long climb up.

[SunkenCiv]

It makes sense... cave man comes back near dark, soaking wet, carrying a bunch of ducks... and had your idea only because his cousin Og pushed him into the pond as a joke.

[SIDENET]

next I'll study how this all relates to the Giants taking a beating

LOL.

[paulycy]

That's not what I learned when I was a kid.

[TigersEye]

You’ll notice that cousin Og did not come back. Thankfully cousin Og’s wife, Ogetta, was a master at creating and controlling fire. Fossil evidence also indicates Ogetta could suck the marrow out of a mastodon thigh bone. Which of course has nothing at all to do with a duck dinner, a warm fire and wet furs drying on hot rocks. But science goes where the clues lead it. ;^)

OMGosh, I’m a Neandertal. Anesthetic to that nerve only blocks the pain to the front teeth in my lower jaw.

I found out when I had a root canal in a lower back tooth. The dentist was not aware why the shots she kept giving me were not effective, and she thought I had “hysterical pain,” which I have never had in my life. So after having that procedure with virtually no anesthetic, I found another dentist who was aware of the anomaly. I stuck with him, duh.

[SunkenCiv]

WILLLLL! MAAAAAAAAAA!

[SunkenCiv]

heh...

[TigersEye]

I can’t connect all the dots in my theory yet. But if they find a corkscrew carved from a deer’s antler we’ll have the missing link!

[SunkenCiv]

:’)

[SunkenCiv]

Maybe some really old empty bottles of Chateau d’Lascaux...

[TigersEye]

;^)

So easy a caveman can do it.

[calex59]

I am sure they ate whatever the he** they could catch. Why do these idiots act surprised that cavemen would eat birds? I bet they ate what ever was available when they couldn’t find big game to kill, which probably happened more often than one might think.

[SunkenCiv]

Yeah, really. Are you gonna finish that, that, uh, what is that anyway?

[SunkenCiv]

I wonder when deep fat was invented?

[colorado tanker]

It's nice to know that even in those days Tiny Og could have his Christmas goose.
