I've been researching human development throughout time, and was spending some time fleshing out my last 10,000 years table; I had put in how many thousands of years ago which animals were domesticated, what the rough population estimates were, when which still-extant religions arose... and there it was (remember, dates are approximate):
3000 kya (thousands of years ago) - world population about 150 million; Judaism arises; domestication of rabbits.
And I cracked up - of all human inventions, rabbis and rabbits together!?! I'm SO glad I'm anglophone!

Anyway, just something weird for y'all to enjoy.

That must be how the joke got the punchline, "Silly Rabbi, kicks are for Trids." The historical overlap thing.

Television antennae bear on this coincidence as well.(Rabbi tears).

Why did Rabbis want to invent rabbits? They aren't kosher.

Correlation is not causation, Paul!

You really meant 3 Ka, not 3000 Ka, didn't you? Sorry, I'm pedantic , and used to this kind of time scale....

Modern humans 70,000 years ago were making graffiti in South African caves similar to what we are doing writing on the internet.
