Or Mr. Spock.
And a world without Indian contributions would get really awkward around NFL draft time.
“and third pick would have gone to the Washington Humanskins but they’ve given their selection up to the Kansas City Leader People. Washington’s talent scou…um, head hunters, think they’ll get a better deal off their two 4th round picks. Man, I envy the new KC player. You can almost smell the Bar-B-Q from the tailgaters in front of Sharp Pointy Rock Stadium.”
More than the Aztecs, a little less, or well done?
NFL? What a boring game.
Excuse me?
How many of the gods of the Inca, Aztec, Olmec, Toltec and Maya demanded streams of human sacrifice?
Off the top of my head, Xipe Totec demanded maidens be skinned alive and that his priests wear the skin as a ceremonial raiment.
But at least he wasn’t boring!!!
Who said Aztecs were better than Romans?
If anything I preffer Iroquois to Aztecs :rolleyes:, because the first were more advanced in human terms than Aztecs, and the brutal Romans, too.
With respect to incas, the also had human sacrifices but just ocasional and never in the scale of the bloody Aztecs, the sadic Romans or the Protestant burning of Witches (200.000 in Germany alone).
Speaking of Native Americans, have you heard this story before? Well, one day, an Algonquin chief’s eldery father passed into the hands of the Great Spirit. The chief was beside himself. On top of his grief, he now had an extra dwelling to take care of and all the responsibilities there-in. Furthermore, he relied heavily on his father for guidance in leading the tribe. How could he carry on alone? He was unmarried, with no children. At the very least, who would take care of his father’s old place?
There was a shortage of tobacco that season, and the stress was really getting under his redskin. At his wit’s end, he decided to see the tribe’s medicine man. After a long and perilous journey, he finds him and describes his troubles. He frets nervously in the medicine man’s abode, gesticulating wildly. After calmly listening to the man’s woes for what feels like many moons, the medicine man stretches, yawns, and casually replies:
Relax man, you’re two longhouses.
Ha ha. Very funny.
Redskin… Insteresting, I also have that skin, didn’t you know paleface?

You probably mean Clement Ader. And I’m afraid you fell for a long-discredited tale.
Ader claimed a 1000-ft flight in 1897 in a machine he called Avion. Though the evidence for this claim was a bit thin, it was possible to believe it until 1910, when a report by the French government commission that observed the 1897 test was finally published, clearly establishing there had been no flight at all - the Avion was wrecked without ever leaving the ground.
Anyways, Ader wasn’t Indian…
No doubt that’s the reason he failed.
That’s the reason he lied.
So Indians don’t lie, and non-Indians do? What an amazing people they were.
I don’t know. I am not Indian. I can lie.
As the country song goes, “How can I miss you if you won’t go away?”
Yeah. I love country music. It recalls me, rancheras.
