I think there’s a quote by Sandi Toksvig, where she remembers that fact from a female anthropology lecturer, who made the point about who might want to be counting the lunar month: the first documented counting might have been by women…

Oh that’s good, I like that, I’ll use that

Maths.

The first example of a system of counting to numerate something was 37000 years ago in a place called Border Cave, on the border of Swaziland and South Africa in the Lebombo mountain range. It was a baboon’s leg bone, called the Lebombo bone, and it had 29 notches in it. THIRTY SEVEN THOUSAND YEARS AGO.

Possible theories include the fact that the lunar month has 28 days in it.

I’d like to do more maths facts on here so I think I might

concessionsfornow: philanthropyforbeginners: Westboro Baptist Church is NOT… Is NOTNOTNOT a group of Christians. It is a group of extremist weirdos that call themselves Christians despite the fact that they blatantly ignore a LOT of Jesus’ teachings. They aren’t Chistians. Also, metal is a great genre and I’m a Christian and yeah. Rawk. See you there, Tom! I hear you can make all the excuses you like in hell!

Anonymous asked: You are the best thing I have ever seen. xox - Manatee

Manatee, I was in a dark place. You could say I was down and troubled, and needed a helping hand. And nothing, no nothing was going right. But then, I closed my eyes and thought of this, and soon, well, you were there. To brighten up, even my darkest night. I just called out your name, and I knew, wherever you were, you’d come swimming, to see me again. Winter spring summer or fall excluding your mating season, all I’ve got to do is call. And, I can imagine, you’ll be there, yes you will. You are my friend.
