Don’t know that it’s quite a meme, but it was recommended I crosspost it here!
That poor bastard yak (or whatever) wandered into the wrong canyon that day.
“Ugg want to do science.”
“What ‘science’?”
“Throw eight spears at a yak.”
“Ogg like science!”
Where is Saddam Hussein? Is he safe? Is he alright?
Don’t worry, he’s alright. I found him right beneath your comment:

Is he alright? Looking awfully pale, if you ask me.
The true Saddam, well, he’s in our hearts.
As an atlatl expert (I watched several YouTube videos) they have an upward launch trajectory and seem to be ideal for longer-ranged flat ground engagement. This would suggest more utility for forest and open plains hunting where terrain advantage does not exist.
think you meant 196
This is the lab behind the poop knife. They are absolutely experts in this kind of thing.
I need to read the whole paper, but I suspect the weight/wind resistance ratio of the javelin is better, and that the motion of launching an atlatl dart is affected by the downward angle. The railing on the scissor lift likely has an effect, too.
I think you’ve found the perfect place.
This post is awesome!
