According to the Jump Rope Institute, the western versions of jumping rope probably go back to Egypt of around 1600 B.C. From there it migrated to Europe and can be seen in medieval paintings with children jumping through hoops. The ancient Egyptians used vines to jump, aborigines used bamboo.

Entomophagy

Entomophagy is the technical term for those who eat bugs. It comes from the Greek words entomos, "insect (ed) and phagein, "to eat". In whatever language, it's gross. People who eat bugs ought to develop some culinary taste and start eating normal, aka, not disgusting stuff, like cheese which is a product derived from milk and yummy bacteria. Or maybe honey which is produced by one bee barfing nectar stuff into another bees mouth who then percolates it in their innards for a while till they in turn barf it up. Or maybe… Maybe I'd better stop or I'll never eat anything ever again.
