The Future is Now, As is the Past
January 21st, 2010
Remember when some scientists flew a helicopter over a colony of tribal folk in the Amazon who previously had no contact with the modern world? And who ran out and threw spears at the flying monster?
Yes, you do remember.
Did we follow-up with them and let them in on modern technology, or was that ultimately a social-experiment-turned-prank?
AMAZONIAN #1: What the [Amazonian expletive] was that?
AMAZONIAN #2: I don’t know, but get over here and help me juice these rocks. Their magic secretions contain the only elixir that may but probably won’t cure your wife’s death pain.
AMAZONIAN #1: I hate that our life expectancy is 22! If only someone would bring us more modern technology!
