Day 10: a follow-up talk from #MeganBiesele, world expert on #Ju/'hoan folklore, with the 'Story of the Elephant Girl' -- strongly similar to the Kua Buffalo Wife tale (they are some of the #oldest #stories in the world)

'Helga's story eerily echoes those Megan recorded in northwestern Botswana, also in the 1970s, of the Ju|'hoan Elephant Girl. Both address basic problems of life (e.g. that people's food prominently includes sentient beings). But her retold version appears to answer questions posed by seeming "gaps", puzzling to a western audience, in versions Megan collected.'

My partner and I just talked about which the first MMO games were.

I was born i 1988 and the first mmorpg I have played was WoW, which is almost 20 years old by now.
My guess was that Never Winter Nights was one of the earliest mmos or maybe some early version of Final Fantasy. And my guess was that they came out around 2000.

According to oldest.org I was very wrong:

#Oldest #Chinese restaurant in #UnitedStates is in #Butte #Montana. The one-time mining boom town is atop the Continental Divide about 200 miles south of the Canadian border. ..about as far from a traditional #Chinatown as you can get. Established in 1911 by Tam Kwong Yee and his business partner, Hum Yow -- both 1st-generation #ChineseAmericans -- #PekinNoodleParlor occupies a nondescript brick building on the only remaining block of what was once a bustling Chinatown.
