i treasure how weird human beings are. we are just endlessly strange, both individually and collectively. there's a town in Spain where once a year, everyone dresses up like moss. the Catholic Church decrees that, for the purposes of lent, capybara is a fish. watched a video the other day explaining the quicksort algorithm using Hungarian folk dancers. some people use forks to eat, other people use two sticks. both groups have perfectly good hands, but they'd rather use weird little tools.
