When I was a kid I hunted with all kinds of primitive weapons like throwing sticks.
Then I graduated to firearms and never looked back.

No, they know what they're talking about, and you do not.

When the boomerang comes back, it just seems like it should be called a gnaremoob.

That took me a few minutes to figure out. It brought a chuckle once it clicked.

Awww, Mom, rabbit again?
That's all your good for nothing father could hit with his stick today, so hush up and eat!
To: SunkenCiv
Ah — the settled science is in and everyone agrees. I see.

Carbon 14 dating is accurate back to about 50,000 years. Unless you are a 4000 year old earther...

OK. So what method would you recommend instead? This piece is said to be 6 times that old.

In East Texas they were (maybe still are) called “tapsticks” maybe a bit shorter than this primitive version, main improvement was a weight on one end of the stick. You screwed a nut off a heavy bolt 2/4 ounces onto one end of the stick, if you could run fast (knew some who could make a decent run at rabbits) you could bag enough rabbits for a big meal with a little work and practice.

No. I’d just like to see the science that dated that stick at 300K years. Where is it?
Anyway, when the hell did I ever insult you that you felt free to insult me?
