How the heck?

Who was the first person that thought rolling up tobacco and smoking it was a good idea? What was going through his mind? How does one just decide to smoke something? How do you look at a tobacco plant and think to yourself that it’s a good idea to light it on fire and inhale it? I wouldn’t randomly smoke dog food. Well maybe I would, if you give me ten dollars.

Who was the first person to stomp on some grapes, let it ferment for a long period of time, and then drink it? Same goes for coffee.

Who was the first person to name their daughter Beatrice?

Did all these people just accidentally fall upon these situations? Maybe it was years of experimentation. To think about it, people had a lot of time during those days, especially without Facebook to rule their lives. But nevertheless, there is probably a ton of new stuff that is right in front of our eyes, but just hasn’t been found yet.

I am on that quest to find it. Anyone want to give me ten dollars?
