To put it as blandly as possible; My name is Elijah Claude and
I was born on September 19, 1994 in Riverdale, Georgia.
I am currently a Year Up and Atlanta Metro State College student
and my journey for knowledge has been quite the ordeal.
One rife with tribulations, emotions, imagination, and all things awesome.
I consider myself erudite because throughout my entire life my love of learning
and thirst for knowledge has stayed constant. I would enjoy narrating it
but I would much rather here about your story...
Storytelling is a very old human skill that gives us an evolutionary advantage.
~ Margaret Atwood
If you can tell young people how you kill an emu, acted out in song or dance, or that
Uncle George was eaten by a croc over there, don't go there to swim, then those young
people don't have to find out by trial and error.
What's interesting is that octopi (along with squids and mollusks) are the most
intelligent invertebrates out there; however, leading theories suggest that they
have not and may never advance further because the parents die shortly after
giving birth to the young. Which means that there is no way to pass information
from one generation to the next. So octupi fall victim to the same traps and
predators as their predecessors... but enough 'fun facts'.
