I used to go to a BBQ joint in Tuscaloosa that proudly displayed a picture of Bear Bryant eating a pulled pork sandwich. So there is proof positive that God eats pork barbecue.

Please research the types of meat we are supposed to eat, pork is not one of them, therefore, God prefers BEEF barbeque.

I found an interesting, but short snippet showing possible evidence of the progression of language out of africa over 100,000 years ago...
I wonder if the number of distinct phonemes correlates to the incorporation of more advanced linguistic/conceptual tools?
So that the more streamlined and elegant the communication is made
by progressive development, the fewer distinct phonemes it requires to articulate/express the same complexity...

Because you'd think it would be getting more complex over time not less...[:o]

Fascinating article regarding the probable place of the origination of spoken language.
I disagree with one conclusion though. The number of phonemes isn't necessarily indicative of the complexity.
A language could have 200+ phonemes (sounds) and each one is its own word. This would give the entire language something just over 200 words.
Another language could have only 40 or so phonemes but the language has evolved so that the phonemes are combined in a multitude of ways to give 100,000+ words. This is more complexity.
It's like mixing the 3 primary colors to obtain a nearly limitless palette when you are bored with just using your box of 64 crayolas.

I've seen a picture of God himself eating a pulled pork sandwich. Therefore he does prefer, as do all right thinking and moral people, pork.

Bear Bryant is not god, he barely qualifies as an archangel.

Beef is for grilling.
Pork is for barbecuing. Rubs and sauces are particularly helpful since they cover up the original taste of pork.

In Kansas, though, it seems you can barbecue just about anything.

Wait...what was this thread about?
Oh. Neanderthals. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I live next to a few and, for the most part, they talk like I do.

For some reason, I got this mental image: (note, read this in a snooty, RP English accent)

Caveman #1: "I say, Gort, that is a smashing saber-tooth loincloth you're sporting! Pray tell how you came to acquire such an exquisite piece of kit?

Caveman #2: "But of course, my dear boy! I was with the hunting party on that last mammoth hunt. Dreadful bit of business that was, Snert was gored and Og was trampled, and dash it all, but that bloody mammoth managed to slip our trap! Fortunately, I waited until after the hullabaloo died down and this smashing great cat came by to dine upon our poor cave-mates. Bip and bop, and here I am in my new togs!"

Caveman #1 "Smashing."

Caveman #2 "Indeed."
