the fact that they didnt live much past 30 doesnt bode well
Actually, Burlap, that is a common misconception that the average lifespan was actually when people died. Because medicine was so bad, most children didn't make it past 4 or 5 years old. Therefore, if you average 80 and 5, you get 42.5. Thats a big age difference. Plus there was war and whatnot. I mean, if you think about it, the Romans and Egyptians did things that are still used today. They were very advanced civilizations. There are records of Egyptian doctors doing successful brain surgeries.
In August of 2004, I was in Sillicon Valley, and I visited the Sun headquarters.
It was quite possibly the most disorganized, un-coordinated place on earth. If Disney World was run by a single quadrapalegic, I think it would still be more effecient.
We took a tour, and the guide honestly said that the only really interesting thing they had going on, was that they could bring their dogs to work....uh thanks man. really technologically advanced
