I occasionally think about things like this. How the heck did anyone ever
get the idea that eating snails, or clams or oysters was a good idea? I
think some early human saw a some critter cracking an oyster or clam shell
on a rock and discovered hey, that might be tasty! I'm sure there were many
failures, too. Like picking the wrong mushroom.
