NO Taxi drivers have a list of people they picked up who looked wasted ..how do you think they NEVER get traffic penalties

Policeman -" Do you know you drove the wrong way down that one way street ? "
Taxi twat - " No but I do know a house that is visited by lots of stoners ."
Policeman " Oh That's fine then . "


Message ::: Never talk in Taxis and always get them to pick you up from the nearest Pub not your friends house !

They kept all that information in their heads and passed it down. They're memories had to be much better trained than ours.

Idk.... I've still got advertising jingles locked away in my head from when I was 5. If the most interesting thing to watch at the time had been my dad making arrowheads, I expect my memory would have recorded that quite well too. Actually, I'm pretty sure the way I mix concrete by hand is down entirely to quietly watching my dad do it a lot when I was a kid.

I have spent many hours on youtube looking at old ads, remembering weekday afternoons and Saturday mornings.

Ancient peoples knew what the night sky looked like sans light pollution. I haven't seen a full sky in at least 5 years. Had to go to the Thai-Burma border to find it. People knew how to navigate by the stars a few thousand years ago, too.

Of course, they were also pretty skilled at dying by the age of 40, but, hey.

Trained, I said. The Icelandic Epics were nearly as long as one of Seth's posts, and they kept them in their heads.

Seth has skilz. Typing and mini excavators. That should get him a job when he loses all his money.

Can you quote and recount whole corpuses of tales and poetry that would print over hundreds of pages from memory? Iliad and Odyssey were just the most basic works of an aed's repertoire, but they also knew more epics, not to mention the hymns and other mythological stuff... same thing for Norse skalds and tale tellers who could entertain households for days and days with one sage, and usually had at least a dozen, not to mention the poetry that they were so fond of quoting in midstroy, and probably the Eddic poems to boot.

Well trained too... they kept the stories separate, even if they embroidered them all from the same motif library, seeth usually just cobbles everything together with no mind to coherence or repeating himself.

That's what happens when one doesn't care what the end product looks like. I sometimes suspect this is all just an excuse to improve typing speed, given the pointless nature of the responses provided.

I heard they were good at taking knaps?

[Tero]

Yeah, that too. But you need stone or bone drills and plows.

I once memorized Edgar Allen Poe's The Bells just so I could have an excuse to say...
