Title: video on making poison arrows...
Post by: billy on May 16, 2009, 07:16:50 pm

Click on the link below to watch a youtube video from the BBC on how some African Bushmen make poison arrows.  How they figured this out is absolutely incredible, and I am continually amazed with the ingenuity of primitive cultures.

You have to wonder How they figured this out....were they harvesting these Grubs for Food and everyone that ate them died...so they figured it out...had to be something bad to happen for them to think of using a lowly Grub Worm for Poison....and they say that they are Primitive..... ::)
