Things that make you go hmmmm
Definitely in the ‘things that make you go hmmmm’ category is this little bit from Bizarre News
It seems scientists have pieced together what appears to
be the world’s oldest sex toy from more than a dozen frag-
ments found in a cave complex in Germany.The 30,000-year-old siltstone phallus was a rare find since
examples of masculinity from that period are unusual to
stumble upon, although female-inspired works of art are
rather common.Even more remarkable than its sexual function is the fact
that this multi-use tool was also apparently used to ignite
fires. There are tell-tale marks and chips where it was
used for striking against flints.So why are experts convinced it was also a female sexual
aid? Perhaps because the other end was polished, rounded
and featured raised rings, clearly carved there for her
pleasure!
I am fed up with politics lately and while I have some odds and ends (a post about an upcoming reunion, questions about severe depression as someone I love dearly is going through it, how to empty a 9 room house and all sorts of very exciting - NOT - things) to post one of these days, I thought this particular post might elicit some sort of response!! If not, then I am going to feel very unloved.

And it’s raining out. Let us not forget that it’s raining out. A mini nor’easter?? Well, thank goodness for small favors. The roof won’t blow off.
It sounds as if the vicissitudes of life are paying their respects. I wish I could hand you a magic something or other to make it all better. It sounds a little overwhelming.
With regard to your bizarre news feature, I think someone’s imagination was running wild and free. Let me think...raised rings at the end of a fire flint. Uh...perhaps providing a groove for leather or animal gut cords to secure it to a stick or something? Or to hang it from a tree branch so the toddler doesn’t run off with it? As to the form of the device...Huh. Guys’ preoccupations haven’t changed all that much in 30,000 years, have they?
