[3:16
PM] Mr. Brown.:
you
sound like you have The Cold, Mr. Blue
lol
[3:16
PM] Mr. Blue:
I
did all last week and weekend
[3:16
PM] Mr. Brown.:
I'm on a 14 day run of antibiotics
that's why i feel better now
[3:17
PM] Mr. Blue:
when
i got home Friday until i came into work yesterday morning i never
left the house
that
was probably the worst cold i ever had
day
1-4 was a sore throat, progressively worse, then day 5-8 was
headache, stuffed sinuses, occasional cough and sneeze
sore
throat first *then* cough seemed almost like cheating to me
[3:35
PM] Mr. Brown.:
I
had runny nose, little congestion, little cough
was
not that bad, started feeling better
then
bam!
full-on
chest pressure, head pressure, and no energy
[3:36
PM] Mr. Blue:
every
time I'd sneeze I'd get this sharp pain in both my shoulders and 1 of
my legs
[3:38
PM]
(commercial
Doctor) "Haha! We've all been there like Mr. A and Mr. B,
right? Do YOU have these symptoms too? Try new Cold:
Don't Care! Just one full glass and a day in bed and you won't
care!"
(pop
under "Cold: Don't Care contains 130 Proof whiskey. Do
not drive or attempt to move.")
(Doctor)
"Treat your symptoms the way our forefathers did - Just ‘Don't
Care’."
[3:38
PM] Mr. Brown.:
LOL
I
had black velvet, apple pie moonshine, blackberry moonshine, and
maple whiskey
on Saturday
[9:55
AM] Mr. Brown.:
you
guys ever read about these people
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentinelese
[9:56
AM] Mr. Blue:
yes
[9:56
AM] Mr. Brown.:
Amazing
if it is true they don't know how to make fire yet
[9:58
AM]
(Finally
make contact...shake hands...chief takes off mask and it's Norm
McDonald) "It's me! Hehe! Really got you with
the arrows huh?"
[9:58
AM] Mr. Brown.:
HAHAHA
:D
[9:59
AM]
"You
should have seen your faces. And that no fire thing in the
papers? What a laugh, huh? Let me introduce you to
everyone."
[9:59
AM] Mr. Blue:
"British
policy was to take prisoners, treat them well and give them gifts,
and release them back into the tribe"
>>The elderly couple became ill and died
"Here's those prisoners we took.. sorry there's a lot fewer than before."
>>The elderly couple became ill and died
"Here's those prisoners we took.. sorry there's a lot fewer than before."
[10:00
AM] Mr. Brown.:
I
was watching a show and it talked about the ship that got stranded
there due to a storm and how they called for a weapons drop 'cause
the tribesmen were moving out to to attack it
Instead
they showed up and took all the crew
[10:03
AM] Mr. Blue:
it's
weird that they look black-African but they're off the coast of like,
Thailand
[10:04
AM] Mr. Brown.:
lol
I
think they said they believe they are direct descendants of first
humans in Africa
Which
would explain it
[10:04
AM] Mr. Blue:
aren't
we all?
I
think they're a remnant of the migrations that went across southern Asia and into Australia
[10:35
AM] Mr. Brown.:
most
likely
Like
when everything was one land mass or on boat?
[10:36
AM] Mr. Blue:
Humans
weren't around when everything was one land mass
But
there were intermittent land bridges that made travel easier
But
eventually they'd need to get in a boat
[10:41
AM] Mr. Brown.:
looking
at a map seems like they are not too far from mainland
Reading
some of these encounters it sounds like they are not always out for
blood though. They just don't want anybody that is not them there.
They
shot non headed arrows at some
[10:52
AM] Mr. Blue:
They
must have some sort of mythology that keeps them on that island
Because
even the nearby islands are groups that are similar to them in
appearance and language
Too
bad we don't have an anthropologist in this chat that can drop in
with some more knowledge
[10:54
AM] Mr. Brown.:
lol
there
is probably something great in the middle of that island
[10:55
AM] Mr. Blue:
It's
pretty damned big, and looks to be almost completely surrounded by a
reef
And
looks to be entirely forested as well
Wiki
says they're genetically related to "south Asians" but i
think that'd mean Indians, not Thai/Burmese that they're closer to
Of
course Indians look different depending on where you are in India
[12:03
PM]
Anthropologist?
[12:04
PM] Mr. Blue:
Aren't
you one?
[12:04
PM]
Yes,
I agree. There's little that would compel humans to defy
contact like that other than superstition
My
guess is that they DID have contact in the unknown past and it went
badly
So
they are fortified on their island away from whatever "demons"
they were, and to venture out is “certain death”.
[12:05
PM] Mr. Brown.:
Men
from the sea are demons
[12:06
PM]
Yes...men
from the sea are demons
[12:06
PM] Mr. Brown.:
The
one thing i read was we brought them a pig. They killed it and
buried it
[12:06
PM]
It
was a monster from outside
[12:07
PM] Mr. Blue:
Yeah,
they wouldn't know to eat it
[12:07
PM] Mr. Brown.:
right
[12:07
PM]
I
highly doubt they'd have any difficulty telling it was edible. No,
it takes religion to put that kinda fear into people. Bad people put
a weird thing on the island to trick/tempt/attack them.
[12:07
PM] Mr. Brown.:
People
bring fish to them. They take them because they know what that is
So
who was the bright bulb to think “lets take them a pig”. hehe
[12:08
PM]
I
wonder if they escaped to there. Used to live somewhere else and
bugged out.
[12:08
PM] Mr. Blue:
or
were shunned to there
Maybe
they were mainlanders (or on the main Andaman islands) and the locals
were like - "these people are nuts"
Maybe
it was mutual
They're
related to the other folks on the neighboring islands
[12:09
PM] Mr. Brown.:
Buncha
slaves?
Shipwrecked?
[12:11
PM]
If
they were anything as recent as those theories, they'd have fire
[12:11
PM] Mr. Blue:
They
had a connection to them at some point
You'd
have to have superstition on both sides
The
Sentinelese to not leave, and repel foreigners. The groups on the
mainland have a superstition of avoiding the island
[12:16
PM]
I
would think after enough people went to check the place out and never
came home, they decided the island was bad news
This
is no doubt a good example of one of those "White Explorer
Discovery By White Explorer" situations I love so much.
"Astonishing!
We're discovered a tribe of isolated people - completely
unknown...except by all the native people around who have been making
contact with them and talking about them for 30000 years. But
they're merely natives, you know."
[12:30
PM] Mr. Blue:
heh
Like
when a new species of something is "discovered"
And
it was only discovered because it was so well known to the locals
they didn't even think to mention or point it out to anyone. What
they call "discovering" is just scientifically describing,
cataloging, etc.
[12:35
PM] Mr. Brown.:
Tons
of animals on that island that are undiscovered (by whites)
lol
I'm
sure at some point we will get on the island and they will be
welcoming
Then
the island will be stripped of all it's resources
They
have to be getting plenty of trash out there from the ocean
[12:38
PM] Mr. Blue:
yeah
[12:39
PM] Mr. Brown.:
probably
why they accepted the pots and pans people took them
[12:39
PM] Mr. Blue:
"oh
more trash, thanks"
Their
language is markedly different from even the other languages on the
Andamans,[8] which suggests that they have remained uncontacted
for thousands of years
if
that's the case and there's only a few hundred of them they're
probably also the most inbred people of the world
[12:53
PM] Mr. Brown.:
Yeah
Maybe
that is why we cannot contact them
lol
[1:06
PM]
They're
remnants of the PREVIOUS 'Big
Oops' as described in the Indian Vedas.
What's
Bengali for "Tomorrowmorrow Land" and "Captain
Walker"?
[1:08
PM] Mr. Brown.:
I'm
guessing if a single person was stranded there, they may not kill
him.
(we'll
save the idiot missionary's tale for it's proper place in the
timeline – Mr. Silver)
I
wonder about Amazon tribes that are isolated
did
they intermingle?
[1:14
PM] Mr. Blue:
if
they're completely uncontacted they'd have to inbreed
maybe
they have contact with other uncontacted tribes
[1:14
PM] Mr. Brown.:
I
mean how much inbreeding before a population dies out?
[1:20
PM]
Um...as
much as you want. Inbreeding isn't a terminal situation.
A
network of uncontacted peoples!
They're
like the Fremen
Exist
in vast numbers all over the Earth and no one knows where they hide
[1:26
PM] Mr. Brown.:
I
bet they live underground
That's
why we see no fire
[1:26
PM]
Yes...they
keep all the smoke underground...
[1:32
PM] Mr. Blue:
We
should just bulldoze the place
Why
should they have it any easier than past natives?
[1:34
PM]
heh
"We
offer you freedom through abuse. Later generations will thank
us."
[1:36
PM] Mr. Blue:
"Look
we have a system - and it wouldn't be fair to the other natives if we
let you off."
[1:39
PM]
"Do
you have any taboos besides outside contact we can force you to do?"
"Oh,
and (looks at paper)...AH! Yes. If you have any gold or
gems we'll want all of it."
[2:31
PM] Mr. Brown.:
We
should just try to find a sponsor to send a bot to that island
[3:00
PM]
Yes,
this place would be a dandy location for someone like NASA to drop a
Xenthropology probe.
It's
kinda perfect for that
Complex
culture. Have to make it mobile and durable.
Make
it something they'd be interested in keeping
Try
communication experiments or maybe just watch and listen.
