Las Cuevas de las Manos Pintadas?



Can you imagine an area in the high desert, not that far from the bottom of South America, where they have found remnants of civilizations from 7,000 years ago? These drawings are on the walls of the Cave of Painted Hands which Plot and Duck are trying to figure out how to get to -- it involves planes and buses and bumpy roads and hikes and guides and when you look at the map down there the Atlantic and Pacific seem really close together. Plot is already wondering why they painted their hands? In our idiot culture we would try to xerox a picture of our butt on the wall.

I love this kind of thing, and South America seems to have a lot of these things. The Nazca lines in Peru. Carnival in Rio. (Some research on the hand thing points out that they are mostly left hands from about 550 BC using an early formulation of Rustoleum spray paint.

Future archaeologists will conclude that our culture honored divine butt gods. I love it.

It's not so easy to get on (or off) a copy machine as one might think. You also want to avoid the kind where the glass actually moves from one side to the other.

Or so I've heard.

Where is The Great Plotnik? No posts Tuesday or Wednesday? I know I'm spoiled and all, but I'm missing him. Maybe if I said something bad about the Dodgers...
