    Lessons on how to live like a Neanderthal ...

    Taking lessons on knowing things like choosing the best tasting insects
    and how to start fires without using matches might sound like a dumb idea
    - but, if any one of those democrat lunatics running for President should
    somehow win - it might turn out to be a useful and necessary skill after all.

    but while you are eating bugs etc etc, I'll be over in that brasserie/pub/bar or whatever they call them and enjoy a nice local beverage and meal,,

        The site says he teaches them to cook like a Neanderthal. If I remember correctly, the Neanderthals were stone-boilers. They made a water tight container -- it could be a hole in the ground lined with animal hide -- and heated stones in the fire. Using wooden tongs, the stones were dipped in the stew, then pulled out to be reheated. I expect it gave the stew an "exotic" flavor.

          I guess the cook got to lick the rocks.

              I suspect those Neanderthals lasted a helluva lot longer (around 150,000 years) than we humans will

                Ruth Bladder Ginsburg can probably tell you all about it.
