    i read an interview from when he was doing his "stripped" tour here in the us - roughly what i remember reading was: the reason he's dressing in 'boy' clothes lately is because he hates to be put in a 'box', and people had started associating him only with transvesticism....but either way, i agree with gazz84 - "eddie is eddie no matter what he wears!"

    Having read a lot about history, this really surprised me. They tell about the evolution of the stone spears and axes, but they dont tell the simple thing. How did humans hunt buffalo when they didnt have stone tools?
    Well they didnt. They didnt eat much meat. They might catch a rat, or a turtle maybe. A sheep would be already too big and powerful to kill. What would you do, wrestle it down and bite with your useless human teeth? A ram? Noooooooooo WAY!
    And then there is this one guy who is told how its impossible to hunt a woolly mammoth, and he picks up a rock, a long branch, and tears a handful of his own hair. "Hold my handful of pond water..."
    People coul get maybe a kilo of meat a month, and that was really trying.
    After stone tools it was, you see five tons of mammoth and go "heat up the barbie, honey, I will be right back."

    • @pendlera2959
      @pendlera2959 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      You can totally kill a sheep or ram barehanded, especially working as a group. You can use persistence hunting and wait for it to collapse of exhaustion (there are still tribes that do this), like so: th-cam.com/video/m-KlCjm2YQo/w-d-xo.html Alternatively, you can ambush it as a group, some distracting it in front while the rest grab its legs/knock it over, then strangle it. Also, think about the kinds of animals kids catch: lizards, snakes, frogs, crayfish, baby birds, etc. Not to mention insects and worms. Heck, I've caught a fish bare handed before and I am NOT an experienced hunter/fisher. I'm pretty sure humans were eating meat on a regular basis before the stone age, provided the definition of "meat" doesn't just refer to muscle tissue from mammals and birds the way it does in modern times.
