Pottery dates back far more thousands of years. "Scientists" and "Archeologists" haven't found such because they can't find shit that wore out before they found it.

Come on eh? *I* found the oldest shard of pottery does not mean it's the oldest. Ya got scientists and archeologists and doctors and lawyers and politicians... and, then ya pay an engineer shit money to build the world... to build the ovens to fire pottery... that youse think last forever. Use some logic eh?

And, logic is not the sole realm of the philosopher. The first philosopher was an engineer... or was the first engineer a philosopher? Disregarding the beaver arguement, of course. All you eager beavers write a term paper on that and have it in to me just after mid-term exams.

Oldest pottery! So what? It may the oldest found. So what?

Now. Some of that is tongue in cheek, but some isn't. To me, as an engineer and a philosopher, I just take a careful look at such and ponder. Most of all, if I can attempt to make a joke, albeit obtuse, I will always do so. Engineers and Philosophers are nothing without a sense of humour. And, I crack me up at times.
