So some Science Men made a study, to determine why the humans kill one another. And it seems like they've decided to blame squirrels.
They went all the way back into human history, did these Science Men, and then into the ways and means of the other primates, and then into the lives and loves of other mammals, and, or so they say, they found there some other mammals, that are sometimes about killing each other, and so, they Concluded, that some distant mammal, somewhere back there, must have been the one, that Invented the Killing.
However, this study, it appears, to contain, Libel.
The researchers found that some species, like bats and whales, hardly ever kill each other. Others, like ground squirrels and tree shrews, do so relatively often.
No. There are ground squirrels all over the place here. They never kill each other. I think, that this study, maybe, it is just shit, made up.

I was going to do part two of the soup recipes but unfortunately I hurt my back and can’t sit at the computer for more than a couple of minutes. My Doctor put me on new medicine and my body is getting used to it and I fell yesterday pulling a muscle in the back.
The Saturday Evening Post
Submitted by Lookout on Sat, 10/01/2016 - 6:00pmIt's another week has passed, and I'm still in another world across the sea. I hope the world is spinning your way. Let me share a little of what I'm seeing, and ask you to do the same. What is the world like where you are? What did you learn that was of interest or importance this week? I'll try to contribute in the comments, and hope you will too.

So apparently the Chinese, they are actually, Egyptians.
Who knew?
China's founding dynasty, it is generally considered to be the Xia, who swaggered around between 2070 and 1600 BCE.
Now, Sun Weidong, a Science Man, he says these Xia people (and he says there is support for this, in ancient Chinese texts, and in radiometry), they migrated up to China, out of Egypt; that the Xia were in Egypt the Hykosis people, who ruled around the northern Egyptlands, off and on, from the 17th century BCE onwards; until, eventually, they got kicked off and out of Egypt; and then, as Van Morrison do say, "they sailed and they sailed"; until they reached what is now known as China, and decided, there, to invent the Middle Kingdom, and become, the Chinese.
Some Chinese, to the Sun news, they are reacting, with frenzy:
How can the children of the Yellow Emperor have run over to Egypt? This topic is really too pathetic. The important thing is to live in the moment!
Fer sure. Right on. Party! Vote. For The Hairball.
Other Chinese, they See.
The world is such a big place, that one finds many strange things in it.
Absolutely. Goddam. Right.
