Brave! :blink:
The year is 40,000 B.C. . Some caveman off the shore of England casts his roughly-hewn net into the waters and draws it back. From the catch, he reaches in and yanks out a black, squiggling eel, and motions to a club-toting caveman companion watching him from the rocks.
"Nigel! What in blazes do you make of this lil' bugger?"
"Blimey. Some squiggly little sea snake creature, that'd I say."
(shoves the eel into his mouth and chews whole)
"Gamey tastin' little critter, that's for sure."
"Well, boil the bastard next time. And let's find some lemon to go with it."
