This would be a relic to the days when infectious TB was wide spread.. This is one of the ways it was passed along - public spitting.

Ironically, why would anyone spit on the floor , except if they had a mouthful of chew or dip (snuff for you Turbo).

You know, as hard a time as I have conceiving that people would actually take a plant, roll it up and smoke it, it really freaks me out more that someone would take the same plant, put it inside their lip, and then have to spit all the time because they can't swallow the juice.

Come mat, all it takes is "just a pinch between you cheek and gums (or up your nose for this in Turbo's area) and you are in flavor country!"
Be prepared for quite a few smokers at NEOPEX!

Yes, I am prepared -- I worked with a lot of smokers at my last job... it just makes me wonder about the first person who ever tried it. Did they do it with every plant in the forest and finally came across tobacco? Then again, I wonder the same thing about the first person to eat lobster (read, "sea spider").

And they probably ate that "sea spider" while it was still kicking around! I think I'd rather have some red man than eat a raw lobster.

Seriously! It's not as if everything that comes out of the sea tastes good. Who looked at a lobster and said, "man, I bet if I crack that thing open and slathered it with butter, it'd be real tasty"?

I was wondering how they figured out soap with no knowledge of chemistry.
Yeah, let's mix some lard up with some sulfa ash (or whatever it is), and w'ell finally be clean! Yeah the origins of things is something i think of often.

Some things that are considered delicacies are, quite frankly, disgusting. I actually had pate' once and it tasted about how you'd expect goose liver to taste -- awful. The experience was about like getting punched in the face by a stranger, except without the ability to file a lawsuit afterwards.

i used to like pate till the restaurant i worked at started to make thier own! then i saw what was in it. Blood pudding is essentially a big scab

Yeah, I had black pudding in Scotland and, while it wasn't as bad as pate', it was still kinda icky. I think of "pudding" as chilled, yummy, chocolate goodness, not warm, clotted nastiness.

Black pudding is excellent battered, deep fried and served with ketchup and 'chips' - french fries. It's not really a scab as it's cooked before it can congeal.
Cannae beat it!
Soap is a by product of refining oil (samponification) - it may have been noticed then ?
