Things that make you go ‘hmmmm. . .’: thousands of years ago a bunch of stupid people wandered into the sands of Saudi and other mid-east hell-holes nearby, looked around at the barren, sandy land where water and plant life was almost non-existent and heat well over 120 degrees with no shade, and these dolts said: “Geee. . .look at this worthless place, let's stay!”
Why would they do that. . .other than being stupid.
