I don't need wood (esp not 'made' wood), I use dried dung to make a fire. :-P

-edit-
@bbrv:

One thing has always intrigued me. You mostly sign with bbrv. Does that mean that you and rv always share  the same opinions and views?

(And this is not ment in a negative manner or anything).

Hey Andy, levers and pulleys?!  You are farther along in the evolution!  We are still in the stone age with this story and you are studying along with your Physics book (errhm...maybe not enough!)...

Make a choice, we go back to the campfire and finish the story or you go back to Newton's Laws!

Well?! :-)

...and odin, you just stay over there!  We are about to cook something!  Happy trails!

But burning paint is hazardous for your health, and not to mention bad for the environment ;-).

Too advanced eh? How about speeding things up with this new accellerator I've made? I call it the "Wheel".  Best of all with my new "axel" technology allows clustering so you can use 4 or more "wheel"s for those more demanding applications. :-D

---Edit----

Second thoughts I'll stick to my Physics textbook, I can see this getting very loooong.

Andy (same name as my younger brother, God bless him he lives in Florida!  Just kidding Damien, Nate, Jim and Randy!  :-) ),

Here are the key points:

1. Until something else comes along things keep going as they are.  

2. When things do collide the subsequent direction is a summation of the mass and velocity of the objects in question.

3. What goes up must come down!  
(Editor's note: gravity is a cool thing too!)
Or, better, for ever action there is a equal and opposite reaction!
(sound like a flame war?  :-)  )

You catching all this?

OK, that wraps it up for Newton's Laws...want to come back to the campfire?

OK, cool, glad you are here Matt.  We are just getting to the food part!!!

How is that AROS fire doing?!  What are you cooking over there?  How is that wood burning?!  We hope very well?!  :-)

@bbrv

I'm still waiting for the food. All I can see on the tables (made of stone of course) of both groups of cavemen (Amicavemen and Peggycavemen) is mostly stale food. There is very little fresh food, nothing like the feast that those WintelCavemen enjoy.

Good, I'm feeling quite peckish. I could do with a nice tasty AROS burger right now... where's the fire again?

OK, GadgetMaster, do not get too far ahead of us!

Come on, gather round, time to finish the story, at least the end of the beginning!

Cavemen have wood.
Start fire.
Need to eat.  
What to cook?  Hungry.  
Urgh!  (sounds better than Cowabunga!)

OK, this is where the Ants show up!  See that!!  Ants!  Sheesh!!! (He posted that!)

Happy now? No?

Then start your own fire!  We will provide the wood!  

Just remember, when you want to eat a mastodon take it one bite at a time...;-)

That will be the next episode (see Subject above)...heard Apple started that already sort of....

Exhibit A: When the Apple issued a press release on May 5 announcing that 1 million songs had been downloaded in one week, the stock shot up 11 percent in a single day, on trading levels five times what they were the day before!

Now that is something to sing about!

:-)

Good night!

Well I am eating berries at the moment. If I can't see something interesting to eat on the horizon I won't need any wood or fire.   Where are the killer apps?

Hmm the ant is truly a miraculous creature, I hope this particular one doesn't fail to impress ;)

"Yes, an Apple no less! Now, think about that and get back here!"


  The owner of the apple tree is not going to play nice or is he?
