Rhoda Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 In the beginning God created heaven and earth. Cocktail sticks. he invented those on the secret 8th day Dude, if God can make everything that has ever come to be in a f*cking week, cocktail sticks are about as easy as you typing the space bar on your keyboard to him.

Jay Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Well yeah but consider what he is inventing on that 8th day by extension. By implementing the notion of a pointy stick he is unveiling a whole world of enlightenment. I'd also like to see someone eat a cocktail weeny with a printing press. Or a wheel for that matter (barring the use of a lazy susan, they're damn convenient) Heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhoda Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Surely you can consider music to be an invention of sorts? I was reading a book called 17 by Bill Drummond and it talked about what the world would be like without music and offered a marvelous metaphor: Imagine if you will that you awaken one day and discover music has gone. You don't remember what it is, what it sounded like, who it's pioneers are considered to be. Instead, all you know is that it once existed. Now, imagine 17 people gathering and attempting to recreate this music, with no knowledge of what it once sounded like, with no influence to go off. Blew my mind, may seem daft to others. And I could use a wheel as a plate I suppose, could hold a lot of those damn cocktail sausages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats assuming that every single organism and object has been on this Earth and Universe since it's creation, but I guess you can say it has, Circle of Life and all that. @Masterkraft: I vote for that one. Music is essential to me staying sane and I'm sure a lot of other people would agree. Without music the world be boring as hell and quiet as ever.

Rhoda Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Never say "haxored" or "teh" again. Ever. Consider just how many instruments you could play with a pointy stick, or evolutions of a pointy stick; the violin, viola, cello, double bass, xylophone, glockenspiel, drums, tubular bells... list is endless.

I believe I have solved your conundrum DV. Music is usually thought of as being farther along the Tech Path but....like so many of the primodial techs it also bridges right into natural developements and characteristics as well. I mean, mating calls have surely been around since near the beginning of life and many mythologies consider all of creation to be a song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhoda Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Music stems from rhythm when you think about it, even those artists that follow no direct time signature (Venetian Snares springs to mind) are still considering a natural rhythm. Something as primitive as a neanderthal hitting a series of rocks against another while the winds howl, birds craw and the seas rage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryuclan Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Something as primitive as a neanderthal hitting a series of rocks With a pointy stick right? I mean all the neanderthals are doing.
