I want to know what the carbon footprint of early humans was. I want to know why they were such a violent culture that they needed weapons in the first place.

Maybe we can get congress to fund a study!

No sh***er here. I know of a fellow who got a Gov grant to study if birds were “right winged” or “left winged”

BROOKS (as 2,000 year old man): We spoke Rock. Basic Rock...Two hundred years before Hebrew, there was the Rock language. Or Rock talk.
REINER (as interviewer): Could you give us an example of that?
BROOKS: Yes. 'Hey, don't throw that rock at me! What are you doing with that rock? Put down that rock!'

BTW, it has occurred to me that this joke, while it acknowledges the primevality of violence, takes the pacifist side with its representation of the 2000 year old man's resort to pleading. I think this is the impression it leaves subjectively as well; that Brooks' character has somehow prevailed over the absurdity of violence. At any rate, it's politically laden.
