I am having intuitive spasmatic linguisitic neuron connections:
It is thought that origins of the boating call "MAY DAY!!!!" comes from the French: "ME AIDEE!!!!!!!!""" NI IDEA...
Which also leads Neurons fllowing to a great anthropological book: "COWS PIGS WARS AND WITCHES." Sort of explains why Jesus became famous while all the other crazies died in the desert?????
