Raamatukogus

Jõin ära ühe Red Bulli ja äkki kuulsin korruse teisest otsast hüääni nägelusi, tead küll, selliseid nagu nendes Aafrika loodusfilmides, mida pühapäevahommikuti vaadatud sai. Raamaturiiulid vajusid aega ja ruumi laiali suurteks loomakarjadeks. Natuke rühmakuti ja veidi eraldi istuvatest inimõpilastest said jändrikud savannipuud, mis kuivanud rohuväljadel taktitundeliselt oma neuriite sirutavad ja sünapsites endale aru andmata üksteisega elektriimpulsse vahetavad. Vaatasin aknast välja. Korallid ja tuled ja vesi viisid mu üle India ookeani Austraaliasse.

' The landscape is redolent with memories of other human beings. The ancestral beings, fixed in the land, become a timeless reference point outside the politics of the daily life to which the emotions of the living can be attached. To become this reference point the ancestral journeying had in effect to be frozen for ever at a particular point in the action, so that part of the action became timeless. Place has precedence over time in Yolngu ontogeny. Time was created through the transformation of ancestral beings into place, the place being for ever the mnemonic of the event. In Yolngu terms they turned into the place. Whatever events happened at the place, whatever sequence they occurred in, whatever intervals existed between them, all becomes subordinate to their representation in space. Sequences in time are represented only if they were spatially segregated and occurred at separate places in association with separate features, and even then synchronicity or perhaps timelessness is built into the way they are presented. What remains is the distance between places rather than the temporal distance between events. '

Huvitav, kas bumerangid on päriselt ka olemas?

Wikipedia:
Boomerangs come in many shapes and sizes depending on their geographic or tribal origins and intended function. The most recognisable type is the returning boomerang, which is a throwing stick that travels in an elliptical path and returns to its point of origin when thrown correctly. A returning boomerang has uneven arms or wings, so that the spinning is lopsided to curve the path. Although non-returning boomerangs throw sticks (or kylies) were used as weapons, returning boomerangs have been used primarily for leisure or recreation. Returning boomerangs were also used as decoy birds of prey, thrown above long grass in order to frighten game birds into flight and into waiting nets.
Historical evidence also points to the use of non-returning boomerangs by the ancient Egyptians, Native Americans of California and Arizona, and inhabitants of southern India for killing birds and rabbits. Indeed, some boomerangs were not thrown at all, but were used in hand to hand combat by Indigenous Australians.
Boomerangs can be variously used as hunting weapons, percussive musical instruments, battle clubs, fire-starters, decoys for hunting waterfowl, and as recreational play toys. The smallest boomerang may be less than 10 centimeters (4 in) from tip to tip, and the largest over 180 centimeters (6 ft) in length. Tribal boomerangs may be inscribed and/or painted with designs meaningful to their makers.

Võib-olla oleks mulgi vaja bumerangi. Ja veel ühte Red Bulli.
