    I hadn't heard of these, but reminds me of baton exchange in relay races in track & field I did in high school.

    I hadn't heard of these, but reminds me of baton exchange in relay races in track & field I did in high school.

    What they describe:

    : When someone carrying a message stick entered another group’s country, they announced
    : themselves with smoke signals and were then accompanied safely with the message stick
    : to the elders so that they may speak their verbal message.

    And then immediately...

    : The messages transmitted by these message sticks included announcements of
    : ceremonies, invitations to corroborees, notices, requests, disputes, warnings,
    : meetings, marriage arrangements, notification of a family member passing,
    : requests for objects, and trade negotiations.

    Not according to what they JUST SAID!

    They describe them as a flag of truce. You show the stick, you get escorted safely
    to the big shot so you can speak to him. But in the same piece you're not speaking
    to him, the stick itself is conveying the message.

    Which reiterates a common point of mine: If it's in the media and pertains the slightest to science, it's utter shit. It's crap. It wouldn't be worth pissing on even
    if it was on fire, it's so devoid of value.

    As always, jermy responds to my post with garbage.
    He forgot to mention Trump or penis, oops, that's standard protocol for jermy, something must be fishy.
    Remember, trout & eggs are better brain nutrients than coastal shellfish!

    What did I say? It's okay to paraphrase. What specifically did you
    disagree with, and why?

    Do you know? Of course not. You have no clue what so ever. You
    just saw that it was me who responded and that was enough. It
    was over for you. The fuse in your head tripped and you were
    done for.

    Prove me wrong: What did I saw, my main point; the essence of
    my message? What did you find to disagree with, and why?

    Your inability to answer speaks far more than your words ever
    could have.
