I'm reading a neat book. Here's an excerpt:
Centuries ago, sailors on long voyages used to leave a pair of pigs on every deserted island. Or they'd leave a pair of goats. Either way, on any future visit, the island would be a source of meat. These islands, they were pristine. These were home to breeds of birds with no natural predators. Breeds of birds that lived nowhere else on earth. The plants there, without enemies they evolved without thorns or poisons. Without predators and enemies, these islands, they were paradise.
The sailors, the next time they visited these islands, the only things still there would be herds of goats or pigs.
The sailors called this "seeding meat."
Does this remind you of anything? Maybe the 'ol Adam and Eve story?
You ever wonder when God's coming back with a lot of barbeque sauce?
From "Lullabye" by Chuck Palahnuik
