Nah, it is an interesting thread BobGeorge. I guess I had just never really thought about it before. (Though I really was expecting something about Lucille Ball when I first opened the thread. )

I think any natural disaster - earthquakes, tornados, tsunamis, hurricanes. All of these would be things that would be difficult to understand. I think it would be these very things that would cause a "caveman" to think that it must have some mystical explanation, in order to explain what he can't understand.

(And yes, I do believe in God. And understand that my statement might be used against me some day. in P&R. )

edit: i'm sure her fire crotch would scare the dreadlocks out of at least ONE dainty feller. red deamon urine oozing out of her folicles instead of proper hair.

LMAO! It might be that it would scare modern man, as well.

Now get back on topic and reply to my other post!!!!

And I have a question: The Lucy old skeleton they found that weren't quite human wasn't Lucille Ball?????

Why would an ape or apelike species be scared of an insect, there's like a zillion of them in their everyday life. Especially back then, imagine the fleas, they probably were sharing the forest with bugs the size of freight trains, creepy crawlies that would send all us intellectuals running for the hills. They saw more stars at night too, no streetlights and stuff blocking out incoming light, so for a bunch of those sky lights to come falling out the sky probably wasn't scary, curious but not scary. Now when one of those suckers hit the ground or exploded in the sky, that would've been scary.

They may have thought the lightening bugs were stars come to earth! If you look at stars in the sky with a naked eye, they don't look much bigger than a lightening bug!

Oh, and let's not forget the platypus. That poo animal just looks some kind of potato head except with animal parts that you can put on and mix and match. To a cavemen he would have look at that a little askance. It's not a duck. It's not a beaver. It was the first of the first mixed marriage!

LMAO! BobGeorge! God, platypus, dump!!!

Ah no, not volcanoes. Tornados. The devils fire and brimstone has got NOTHING on God's wrath sent from the heavens as a twirling dirvish, picking everything up in its path and throwing all about. I mean, that is God having a temper tantrum right there. The devil coughing got nothing on God's temper tantrum. (Tornados have given me nightmares my entire life. Those things scare the crap out of me.)

Yeah, me too!

This thread is a cry for help.

Orgers, let's get together and buy Bob some "glaucoma medication".

well that ape like creature woud be ME....EYE am Lucy's uncle. and EYE hate insects. today, firefkys trip me out...i always feel fairly 'wonderous' when theyre around. they make me feel like im in a time machine...futuristically primitive...hehe. if i was a caveman-lawyer and had a simple mind, a la Phill Heartman. ..i very well imagine they would freak ME out...not just a randome ape like caveman...but me, im lucys uncle. and the platypus' happened when god strained on the shitter too hard and got light-headed when he stoopd up...he unfortunately developed the platypus at that very unfortunate moment. and pissy...lol...miss ball is old...but not THAT old...as it is, moses aint got shit on her but goddang. ..lol ofbthe natural disazter....simple...volcanoes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what the fuck!!!!!!! red hot orbs sent to hunt me down and rain on my sanity...and how do they get so goddamn HOT!! One volcano would more than definaly be enuff...u would NEVER, under ANY circumstance catch me within a days hunt of a volcano....i would care how many paralyzed and e-z to kill lions and sabre-tooth tigers and mastaons were waiting to get killed...i would be there for no-one...not even my own cave-baby.

Aw, that's only because the EWE of now was born in a pristine hospital or something, no bugs allowed, but the EWE then would have been surrounded by all kinds of insect from the moment EWE was born. Besides all the other Lucy's uncles (and aunts) would have teased you mercilessly, EWE'd at least of fakeded not being scared.

The rest of all that you're on your own, I got work to do.
