The fish trap exists because of the fish. Once you’ve gotten the fish you can forget the trap. The rabbit snare exists because of the rabbit. Once you’ve gotten the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words exist because of meaning. Once you’ve gotten the meaning, you can forget the words. Where can I find a man who has forgotten words so I can talk with him?
Ancient tribe becomes extinct as last member dies
New Delhi, India (CNN) — The last member of an ancient tribe that has inhabited an Indian island chain for around 65,000 years has died, a group that campaigns for the protection of indigenous peoples has said.
Boa Sr, who was around 85 years of age, died last week in the Andaman islands, about 750 miles off India’s eastern coast, Survival International said in a statement.
The London-based group, which works to protect indigenous peoples, said she was the last member of one of ten distinct Great Andamanese tribes, the Bo.
“The Bo are thought to have lived in the Andaman islands for as long as 65,000 years, making them the descendants of one of the oldest human cultures on earth,” it noted.
With her passing at a hospital, India also lost one of its most endangered languages, also called Bo, linguists say.
The human mind delights in finding pattern—so much so that we often mistake coincidence or forced analogy for profound meaning. No other habit of thought lies so deeply within the soul of a small creature trying to make sense of a complex world not constructed for it.
lol
I’m not drunk.
Let’s stay friends.
I won’t hurt you.
She’s just a friend.
I lost your number.

now don’t get me wrong. People said that the iPhone was stupid in the beginning… no replaceable battery, no bluetooth, no text forwarding, no multi-tasking, and all that jazz… but look at it now. Apple made ONE phone, and it sold over 40 million world wide - becoming the #1 mobile provider in this world. Compared to Sony Ericsson, Nokia, Samsung, and all those other companies who have been making phones for years.
It might not be such a big hit in its first-generation, but trust me when I say it’ll only get better. It is evident in the history of their company where similar happenings have taken place.
This photo is pretty damn funny though.
Happy Ground Hog day, to those who celebrate.
