Professor Condo w/2BR-2BA’s digger drones have unearthed yet another interesting artifact from DeGaulland north of the big water called Atlantis Ocean. In a recent paper, “Stepping In It: a study of foodlessness among late 21st Century earthlings”, Professor w/2BR-2BA claims that Earthling food developed religious significance in the late 21st Century because of its scarcity, significance even to the point that one did not, so he claims, “step in” even the waste products at the end of the human food chain called the gastro-intestinal process. He brings forth this recently uncovered, semi-glossy artifact to support his claim.As we have long known, glossy artifacts meant very much in the Earthling scheme of things. The glossier the artifact, the more significant the act or object being portrayed. Professor w/2BR-2BA points to the stick thin figure of the Earthling female as evidence of her advanced stage of starvation and to the Earthling’s evident avoidance of stepping in what looks like a piece of what may be human waste product. Perhaps, her own? Or maybe she has already stepped in it and is recoiling in religious disgust or shame? And she is also well-dressed, fashionably so. He proposes she may be a type of religious female famed for their sacred “scat singing”?
Professor w/2BR-2BA asserts in an earlier paper that even before food became very scarce, it had begun to develop religious significance among Earthling populations. Though there is very little evidence for such a claim, Dr. w/2BR-2BA has uncovered rumors of a religious singer named Elephant Gerald who supposedly sang in the early part of the 20th Century in the GoodolUSofA. This singer was rumored to be an extraordinarily obese member of the Earthling species, Homo Saps, and she is said to have developed the art of “scat” singing. Other very tenuous evidence has come from scraps of artifacts that connects the word “scat” to all Earth species, from the Hypo-potenuse, an aquatic species, to the Iiontigerbear, most feared in the jungles of Munchkinlandia. Hunters were said to look for signs of “scat” when they hunted. Therefore, we can be fairly certain that “scat”, which was an animal defecant, was somehow connected with the practice of “scat singing” or singing about defecation by the obese singer Elephant Gerald.
“Why did humans wish not to step in scat” is another question posed by the artifact before us. Professor w/2BR-2BA draws a connection that is very tenuous about this matter. He points out that there was once a moving photo series called “Solient Green” about Earthlings being tricked into eating one another’s bodies. He proposes that one day we will uncover another moving photo series, possibly called “Solient Brown”, in which Earthlings will be portrayed eating scat as well. So, of course, one would avoid stepping in his potential food.
Another point in dispute. Is the object at the female’s feet actually Earthling scat? Since we are not entirely sure what Earthling waste products looked like (it was biodegradable after all), we Martians have been forced to assume many variables when discussing the shape and form of human defecants. We do know that humans “shat”. We found evidence of that act of defecation in their mythology as put forth in their book of myths, the Dribble. Since we Martians have no concept ourselves of the process of “shatting”, we are hard pressed to understand this Earthling trait. Some Martian archaeologists even claim that some Earthlings believed that their Mythological Superbeing “shat” out the Earth and the Heavens, that “shatting”, therefore, was an act of creation. This hypothesis was supported at the time by the work of the nearly mythological Creationists, if indeed, such ignorant Earthlings ever existed.
Further proof of the glorification of human scat was the expression often used by Earthlings—“Holy Shit!” Shit, we have reason to believe, was another term for scat. Another sign of the deification of scat was that in certain quarters, males, and only male Earthlings, were said to sit on thrones (see above) while they shat and read their papers or tea leaves, and many times, we have come across the notion, still to be proven, that Earthlings, at least the Homo Saps, were somehow empowered by the act of sitting on a throne. Such importance can only mean that there is some connection between scat and power. Religious power? Some Earthlings, specially those at the top of Earth Cultures, were often reported to be “full of scat” by those beneath them—being “shat upon”, we must ask? One American president, a certain George W. Bush, was said to be especially “full of scat”. He sat on his throne very early in the 21st Century, so we can see, in that case, how very early on shatting was beginning to gain significance.
As ever, my fellow blogsters, I’m in your indebtedness for reading my little musings on the archaeological happenings of Martian archaeologists busily digging into the surface of that airless, burned out small planet, called Earth.
