spake:

Not only did the pointy stick allow them to feed themselves by murdering
the mighty mammoth and other gentle tundra creatures, but also to clothe
themselves with their skins.

Ah, so the pointy stick is to blame for the lack of nekkid wimmenz
around today. That shows the dualistic nature of the beast. It can
be used for good or evil.


Nor should we forget the use of the pointy stick in the development of
agriculture where it was used both to plant seeds and harvest root crops.

The much derided humble pointy stick truly deserves whatever paean we give
it. It is at the base of all our human achievements, including the murder
of animals, plants and other humans and hence responsible for our
civilization. Ultimately, all our tools are merely extensions of the
pointy stick.

Y'know, he also forgot tooth-pointysticks. (charlie, how COULD you?)
