Read this writing today: '..It's more than idle doodling and the meaning is unclear. But there's one thing researchers are sure of: The insect, ear of corn, inverted fish and other symbols inscribed on an ancient stone slab is the earliest known writing in the Western Hemisphere...."That's full-blown, legitimate text — written symbols taking the place of spoken words," said an anthropologist.The faintness of the inscription imply the text wasn't a public document, but instead was meant for intimate reading, some suggested it may have had a ritual use.'" I asked my writings what they thought of this.They grunted. We demand a shave, edit, bath.

Hey alpha grrl... They used the papyrus for ancient wraps and for rolling ancient seeds... inspired the insects, ears of corn and munchies...
