Whew. I thought we were gonna hear “chuckers”. Probably “code” for it though. Of course “tossers” has a whole different meaning in the UK.

Why is it so shocking that tools designed to do the same job should resemble each other even though they came from different places?

A hammer likes like a hammer no matter where it comes from.

Pre-Columbian Little Feat...

Oh Atlatl, Oh Atlatl!
I said yeah! yeah! yeah! Atlatl, got to get back to you
Well you can drop me off on Peachtree
I got to feel that Georgia sun
And the women there in Atlatl
They make you awfully glad you come
I said watchin’ them planes
I wish I was on one
I’m sittin’ here thinking ‘bout my crazy dream
If I could only be there tonight
Oh Atlatl, Oh Atlatl!
I said yeah! yeah! yeah! Atlatl, got to get back to you
We make a day and how just you and me
But the music plays all night
They got the boogie band blowin’ that’s bound for hell
And when they get to movin’ they never stop
You just keep on playin’ that down home beat
You just keep on layin’ it down hot
I wish I was on one
I’m sittin’ here thinkin’ bout my red haired dream
If I could only see her tonight
Oh Atlatl, Oh Atlatl!
I said yeah! yeah! yeah! Atlatl, got to get back to you

There have been more Clovis Points found east of the Mississippi than to the west of it.
(Most wouldn't expect that result)
