Regarding brother marc's story, it reminds me of what it turns out is a fairly common occurrence in archeology. So a bunch of archaeologists are doing work in the SW and keep finding knives in the rafters of these houses. Being archeologists they immediately start coming up with all kinds of religious and cultural reasons for why the knives are up there, only to have a random visiting mother take one look at the situation and say "Oh that's smart, the kids can't reach the knives that way".

Reminds me of the story with a weird dodecahedron thing that got dug up at some place and archeologists didn't really have a clue what it was, until someone else unrelated realized it was something used for knitting.

These ones? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_dodecahedron

Oh hey, sure enough it mentions the knitting, if just as a theory (but it's wikipedia, so even if there were knitting clubs saying 'we use those in modern times!' it'd still say just a theory). I don't think it mentioned that last time I looked at the article.

Yeah, those are the ones I Was thinking off.

Weak wig game, strong facial hair game. Which sadly wasn't enough.
