This one's for Chaka

Here is a very interesting article on a tribe that seems to discredit Noam Chomsky's theory on a Universal Grammar or something like that.

    No one contradicts Noam Chomsky with impunity. This tribe must be exterminated.

    Ok, maybe I should read the article first.

    I will forever be in your debt for linking to the most interesting magazine article I have ever read. There is no hyperbole or affectation in that statement. I am entirely sober and in earnest. If the blogger's reason for existence is to find and link to interesting content, then I can honestly say that by this one act, you have propelled yourself into the field as simply the best blogger on the internet. In the words of Emerson to Whitman, "I greet you at the beginning of a great career."

    I can't take the credit, I just found the link on the www.digg.com frontpage and posted it here :)

    Also, Walt Whitman was a dufus.
