Beer, a computer, and an irritable monkey can be a very dangerous combination.

Eagle-riffic!


What is Your Native American Totem?
brought to you by Quizilla

via Andrea Harris

Oh, yeah. Me and the eagle, we be mates (as Crocodile Dundee might say. we still have much to learn from his folksy wisdom).

And please, could we get back to using the term American Indian already? As someone who's got a bit of native coffee in my cracker cream, I find the artificially created Native American not only cold and synthetic (and unspecific), but somewhat patronizing. Are we really offending anybody by using American Indian?

There are no "native" Americans, just early arrivals. And of those, recent archiology suggests two distinct waves of prehistoric immigration. Should we distinguish between those groups?

To those who claim the word "Indian" was given to inhabitants of the Americas by mistake, I say that so is "Canadian" (mistaken by the French for the name of the country, rather then the villiage they happened to be in.) Who cares, names stick.
