Full Moon Party Tunes

[Botafogo]

Georgie, on a related note, I think the single most interesting experience I had in school (but then I dropped out in the 9th grade!) was a junior high science teacher who showed us the difference between "hard" science and social science and, more importantly, how to think outside the box with this:

We split into five groups of six and spent three weeks inventing a primitive society with tools, religion, calendars, musical instruments and even writing and then BURIED the artifacts in the margins of the athletic fields. Then each group dug up another group's "archeological site" (using screens and grids and everything) and tried to reconstruct what the stuff told us about the people who made them. The differences between intention and interpretation were direct projections of the interests and personalities of the interpreters.

I have been a sceptical bastard ever since about everything from the Pyramids to Politics...
