Anthropology 201 Guidelines

Anthropology is the study of groups of people, their beliefs, practices, values, ideas, technologies, languages, economies and more.

All are welcome to post in this section, even Geico Cavemen.

A couple of caveats-- (1) racism has no place in this forum, and (2) please show a little discretion. In other words, if an attachment violates policy on the rest of TWEB, it violates policy in this forum as well, even if it depicts a highly interesting and unique aspect of some obscure culture. Keep it reasonably clean, folks.

      Sparko are you attempting to "fascinate" me?

            What do I have to do with it? It's the cheese that is supposed to fascinate you, not me.

                No it's not. Read the article. Cheese was believed to have magical properties to make a woman find a man attractive.

                  One may therefore conclude that you never read the article.

                      Wait, you are saying I need to read the source material before I am qualified to discuss something?

                          Didn't you recently claim that you had a son who was an expert in cybersecurity or something like that?

                          Sounds like you were fascinated with at least one man on no less than one occasion. Was it cheese-related?
