> [@blacktophat](#): > > just connects all the dots in a convenient way. The problem with connecting the Dots is that they stick in one’s teeth. It is much better to connect the Jujubes\*. Their harder texture means they do not melt as fast and are less prone to getting stuck between teeth. - (The American candy brand, not the more general Dots-like candy found throughout the rest of the English speaking world.) ---

> [@Forbidden Knowledge Guy](#): > > Seems far fetched doesn’t it? No. Since the gene is the unit of heredity, are there any Neanderthal genes that survive today? Well, since Neanderthals were VERY hairy we best look for hairy people. The comedian/actor Robin Williams is a very hairy individual. Who did he inherit his genes from? There are many individuals who have the hairy attribute. Some Neanderthal genes survive even to this day. Submitted without comment. ---

Ah, but first there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is! Or is it “Electrical banana is gonna be a sudden craze. Electrical banana is bound to be the very next phase?” I keep mixing those up. ---

> [@Dr.Drake](#): > > I’m not a fan of Jung or Campbell, though I recognize their influence and popularity. In the early days of my sobriety I heard the tale of AA co-founder Dr Bob on his deathbed telling Bill W to not fuck it up with that Freudian shit. I could barely write my name for the shaking but I managed to mutter, “Of course he would say that. The whole thing is Jungian.” A couple months later I read Jung’s fan letter to Bill W and said, “Ah-HAH! The $14,000 I spent on my higher education forty years ago was not entirely wasted.” Of course, I got a D in Psychology, but that is neither here nor there. I’d say “/hijack” but this thread is more hijack than thread. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-adamu-slave-to-the-gods/643788.md?page=2)
