New You're attributing sly humour to me?
I'm flattered. :-)

Actually, regardless of *how* humans discovered cooking (a point the program completely avoids), I thought it would be an interesting documentary to you lot. I was a bit disappointed they didn't spend much time examining how cooking changed food, though. They showed just one scientist who showed that cooking breaks down cell walls in potato.

On the other hand, they had a fascinating excerpt from a successful hunt from some bushmen in Namibia. They caught a porcupine in its burrow. It took more than four hours to get it out so they could kill it.

Wade.
Q:Is it proper to eat cheeseburgers with your fingers?
A:No, the fingers should be eaten separately.

Plan B, we'll retreat to the rave-cave and hope our tribal beats and epiliptic movements will cause the machines to commit suicide due to sheer irritation.
