Scratching one's back?
Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.

Surf boards, Damn it!

Really, If a surfer could figure it out, so could HE

Maybe aout 6,000 Years is the limits on how long wood lasts?

We can be pretty damn sure it would not last for 800,000 years.

I don't know about ancient surf boards, B, but I don't see why someone couldn't lay on a floating log and paddle with his hands. As far as I am concerned that would be a water ""craft."


Try holding your beer still, Dig.
