I have a car, ergo I do not have to carry anything on my head.
 
2012-01-06 05:52:51 PM
I bet it's more effective than trying to carry that stuff in your arms. I'm going to start doing this at work, damn western cultural norms.

If you put a fly on your head, pull a wing off, the fly will go round and round in circles and eventually you ejaculate.

All I know after seeing that slideshow is that the third world is in dire need of orthodontia.

What I'm getting from this is that a lot of people in the rest of the world are in better physical shape than we are. I'd say more, but dinner's ready.

When the hell is LIFE gonna fix their buggy ass POS site?!

I like looking at the pix and don't mind clicking through slideshows that much but that site crashes at least once every time every time I do. Also, sometimes the damn control buttons change in the middle of a slide show and half the time the captions get cut off.

I mean sh*t... they've been around for what? Almost a century now?

Speaking of buggy... is Fark lagging for anyone else today too?

Hmm... A salmon on the head? So the shoe on head thing is not new... *sighs* I was hoping it was a passing thing. There is no possible GOOD reason they have a fish on their head except for they were drinking and the photographer asked them to.

It's OK that the one pic showed boobies. They're just black Africans; it's not like they were real people.

/clearly social commentary

A hat, or a brooch, or a pterodactyl.

NSF?

Silly subby, don't you know the rule? Naked black people in the third world are safe for work. Naked other people are not.

/They showed us pics of naked black people in the third world in grade school. And in National Geographic Magazine.
//They'd get fired and go to jail for showing other naked people. That must be the rule.

In Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Uganda, I came across a group of about five Batwa Pygmies heading the opposite direction along the jungle trail. Each was carrying two plastic cases of Coca Cola bottles on his or her head. It was pretty surreal.

I noticed Discovery networks started blurring "indigenous nudity" at some point. It looks ridiculous.

It's stupid to say we're looking down on people like animals if we don't censor the same bits we'd censor in images of "our" people. It's more condescending to say these people would cover up if they knew better so we'll do it for them.

Well, at least it's more consistent. I'd rather they not censor any of that, but...

I've carried extremely heavy things on my head before, usually to the extreme dismay of everybody around me who thinks I'm going to break my neck. After explaining the basics of human physiology and the incredible load-bearing abilities of the spinal column, people usually walk away in disbelief. It requires a bit of coordination, but once you get the hang of it, it's not nearly as exhausting as carrying heavy things with just your arms.

I must not. Feel free to enlighten me as to why they'd have a single fish flopped on their head?

It doesn't even have to be a good reason.

In London's East End, the hardworking fishmongers have learned to carry fish on their heads so that they can always have one hand free to hold a pint glass and the other hand free to punch people who support the wrong football team.

So, underage bare boobies are OK on Fark as long as they're black Africans?

Summarizing, the amount of stuff you can carry on your head is proportional to how poor you are.

Though guides used backpacks, all of the porters on Kilimanjaro carry equipment on their heads. It's crazy to see someone hiking up a rock face with a table balanced on their head. I'm guessing the guys with crates of eggs are the ones with the best balance. The one's no one likes... they get to balance the portable toilet on their head.
