Yes he did. Nearly tore his arm off, slinging a 3 lb. rock, too...

I forget where he said that, though... I'm still jealous of it, lol.

yep - that pretty much covers it lol Buggered my elbow up that's for sure.
But I got some good distance with golfballs before that - good sling :-)
You get the wood yet ?

yep pasta was probably invented independantly in several places - but the chinese had the technology to do it first.

When I went to china a few years ago now. The thing that impressed me most was not the terracotta warriors but an excavated neolithic village nearby. Ban-po neolithic village it was called. Now my numbers are probably wrong here but I thought it was 60,000 years old. And the needles and hooks and other domestic items they had found were every bit as good as modern metal equivalents - but mainly made from bone. And at that point I realised that even though the tech level in china had hit a plateau a long time ago - they got to that plateau thousands of years before anywhere in the west. 

I'll dig out the pics over christmas - it was impressive stuff :-)

Yep... The primitive folks sure knew how to live... Smiley

BTW, according to a quick search, 60,000 years ago people were chasing mammoths around Great Britain and brushing their teeth, Neanderthal style (as told [url="http://anthropology.net/2007/09/12/dental-hygeine-among-neandertals-some-60000-y...[/url]!)  Grin

it's not  a 'proper' discussion if you stay on topic all the time lol
On the bright side it didn't branch out into a discussion on syphilis :-)

Bones, that is what is used to make soup, isn't it?

Just put them in a pot of water and let it stand in the fire for a few hours Grin

Yeah, but trying to sneak out the leg bone of a mastadon is tricky. They're 3 feet long.

It should be a archological experiment, done on the spot.
And a 3 foot long bone would make enough soup for the whole crew.
(I know they do not like soup that much nowadays.)
