YEAH, that’s one of the mysteries of civilization I wonder about. Who was the guy that said, “Say Moog, I think I’ll see if this rock burns and something comes out of it that we can use.”
I think it was probably more like, "hey, come look at this stuff that's left where we had the big camp fire last night. I wonder if we can do that again? Where did you get those rocks that made the fire turn green a little?
Actually, it was because Moog’s wife was cold,
(she’s always cold) and she kept heaping the
logs on the fire until it was so hot in the cave
Moog had to sleep outside, then in the morning
when Moog went hunting his wife was looking for
something to do and started drawing pictures of
pretty animals in the ashes and pulled out a
copper puddle that looked just like her namesake
the beaver so she put it on a thong and wore it
around the cave all day happy as a clam and just
waiting to show Moog how much better she looked
with the pretty around her neck...
