Killing always a priority for our species. The Old Testament was right.

You know, they keep labeling them as arrows. 70K ago they were actually more than likely to be Atlatl Darts rather than arrows.

“Arrow” and “Aero”...kinda neat if their word origins are somehow connected. Hmmm, maybe I’ll just look it up.

It’s amazing that no one ever used them against other people, until white guys in America did...

The San—in recent times when they still hunted—used poison arrows. And the Border Cave people are supposed to be ancestors of the San.
But who knows?

70,000 years with no “Arrow Control Laws”? We need to (retroactively) close the “Arrow Show Loophole.”

Wouldn’t a poison arrow/spear kill both the “eatee” as well as the “eater”?

The Point...
Somewhere I think I still have a copy of that movie on vhs, and 2 copies of the original album.
An old favorite, 1st time I heard it was on a Beaumont radio station in 1973 about 6AM. Ringo Starr narrated the movie, while Nilsson narrated the album. Almost identical words in both narrations, Ringo varied very little, only a word or two here and there. I think I lost the cartoon book that came with the original album though...
Oblio and his faithful dog Arrow...never could decide if my favorite song was “Me and My Arrow” or “Are You Sleeping”...whole thing from end to end is great.
