Yeah, laugh. That might be spears now, but before we realize what’s goin’ on those guys will come out of the forest 
[QUOTE=Beadalin]
Well, do we know that they invented the spear, or simply that it’s the first time both groups have been witnessed using spears?
[/QUOTE]
Yeah.
Wouldn’t surprise me if the sneaky little buggers had some bows and arrows stashed away just waiting to strike.
Or gunpowder :eek:

I would not like a spear-armed monkey;
I would not think it cute and funky. :eek:
Would I prefer it with a rifle?
I sure would not! No, not a trifle!

Hell of a bumpersticker, but I hope you didn’t buy the parts from “World Dominators are Us”. That’s where I got my spell checker.
