Corn is not a naturally occurring plant and will die out if not cultivated by man. At one point there were thousands of species of corn, some with kernels the size of quarters and half dollars, now we're down to maybe 50?

I have thought about this in depth. I have zero answer for where bread came from. Still a mystery. If you don't get the proportions of ingredients just right, you're fucked. More frightening is bovine. All the way back to the earliest recorded human history, cows were cultivated, but I have never seen any evidence of wild cows in ancient texts. I'm talking about herds of Holsteins wandering the country side ... yet steak is the most divine of foods. Blows my mind. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I had a patient the other night that was 105 years old, its absolutely fascinating to imagine this person had lived though the Great Depression, World War I, World War II, Korea, and disco music...all in the same life. Imagine growing up on a subsistence farm, raised by a civil war veteran, and dying in the era of color TV and moon landings. Considering technology appears to be evolving exponentially, I wonder what stories we'll be telling our grandchildren. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
My great great grandma was born in 1887 on a subsistence farm in Alabama and died in 1985, a few months shy of her 102nd birthday. She had three sets of grandparents, two white, one black, with the black grandparents formerly being the property of one of her sets of white grandparents. She learned to ride a horse and buggy at a young age, but refused to learn how to drive cars, which became the norm by her 50's. She died in the era of space shuttles and personal computers. She outlived all of her children, which numbered around 15. Imagine growing up on a subsistence farm, raised by a civil war veteran, and dying in the era of color TV and moon landings.

Here's one.
There is no such thing as the present. When you see things you are seeing light reflected off other matter but light isn't instantaneously propagating. Everything you see are things that have already happened. We dream of seeing the future but the truth is we can't even see the present. Mix in relativity and you realize everyone basically exists in their own frame of reference. The affects of gravity on spacetime basically eliminates the very concept of simultaneity or "the present". Our physical reality is a far stranger place than we have imagined it to be. |

A friend and I were out hunting moose, which for the zone we hunt takes, on average, 6 years to get drawn for a tag.
We are in our mid-40's and realized we both MAYBE will have 4 more hunts, before we are too old or too infirm to go. |

Sometimes I think about people I know now and wonder if I was ever randomly around them before knowing them.
For example, one day my wife and I were talking about our visits to Disney World when we were kids. I was 8 and she was 6. We figured out that we were there about a week apart and stayed in the same hotel. We were from different states and met in our mid 20's. And we lived in the same city for a couple years before meeting. Went to a lot of the same places. Were we beside each other in traffic? Barely missing each other in the grocery aisle? That kind of stuff is crazy to think about. Maybe that other driver you yelled at this morning will be your wife, or boss, or friend one day. |

The wheel
Precursors of wheels, known as "tournettes" or "slow wheels", were known in the Middle East by the 5th millennium BCE (one of the earliest examples was discovered at Tepe Pardis, Iran, and dated to 5200–4700 BCE). |
