Korn, Framed
Do you know why yawning is contagious? Here's why: a million years ago, or more, there was far less oxygen in the atmosphere than there is today. The primates who would eventually become Homo Sapiens were scattered thinly across Africa because the low levels of oxygen would support only a few of these large, complex mammals. When one of these proto-men "yawned," it was a signal to his fellows that their neighbor was trying to secure more than his fair share of the precious resource, so "contagious yawning" developed as a defense mechanism. Just then, a giant, oxygen-rich meteor named Oxxyjo crashed into the Bering Straits, releasing an estimated 86 duodecillion metric tons of oxygen into Earth's atmosphere, rendering contagious yawning forevermore unnecessary. But it had already become part of the human-to-be genome, and the mechanism remains part of our heritage even today.
This is our way of introducing this week's video, Korn's excellent "Evolution." It'll all tie in, you'll see. And, as always, we welcome your comments.
Happy New Year!
1 - Korn's big complaint is the declining IQ of humanity. That's right: it's the Korn beef.
2 - And these Huckabee voters agree!
3 - As do these hominids: an ignorant brute, incapable of articulating his turgid thought processes, and a chimpanzee.
4 - "This gyroscope should prove the seriousness of our science!"
5 - "Oxxyjo, eh? It explains much."
6 - "Dude. You're freaking naked."
7 - "I know it sounds ridiculous, but if this bubble-like object could think, it could simply tell us what to do telepathically."
8- For obvious reasons, Dr. Phil's audience refused to buy into the whole "people are getting stupider" thing.
9 - "But if people were getting stupider, that would have to be in the Bible somewhere, right?"
10 - Suddenly, all of Rush's lyrics started making sense.
11 - Once again, the blog began to write itself!
12 - The second end to the Iraq War was somehow hotter.
13 - "Seriously, they told me it was a Staind video."
