This is the office dog. His name is Bongo or Betsie or Bumpersticker or something like that.


I overheard a conversation on the Subway today that got me thinking about something I once read on one of those "ten-easy-checkpoints-to-what-our-Nazi-party-is-all-about". It was one of the less popular ones(if those exist, it's kind of like being a less cool version of Vanilla Ice. If you're Vanilla Ice to begin with, you're simply not cool) since their checkpoints weren't very convincing. Anyways, the checkpoint stated that the African continent hosts the least intelligent of all homo sapiens. That Africa, without a doubt, has produced the least amount of inventions that are useful to us in everyday life.

So this got me thinking, is that true? What items that we use in everyday life were actually invented in Africa? Hmm... Fire? The Wheel? I really Couldn't figure it out all day. The closest I got was cous-cous. So I googled around and I finally found it. I guess it's not a Playstation 3 but it's still fucking cool in my book.



Try eating breakfast without it. Didn't think so.

I might be misstaking, but I think that the, today so common up-right walking style was invented there.. which is one of my personal favorites!

yes, you are definitely mistaken. The upright walking style was invented in Seattle
