Fred Flinstone Ate The Apocalypse

[matcom]

you really CAN find anything on the web!

But The Flintstones are far more than a cartoon phenomenon. Within this series lies a wealth of mysteries that have baffled the world's great philosophers for years. Let's explore them together, and find out why this modern Stone Age family, is in the middle of a puzzle so puzzling, even Enro Rubik would run away screaming trying to figure it out.

Ever wonder why there weren't any black people in The Flintstones? I mean we're talking about an ancient society that predates the great Pharaohs in Egypt, surely there would be someone in town with darker skin. Bedrock must have been The Stone Age version of Salt Lake City.

Though Bedrock apparently had a problem allowing black folks to live in their town, letting freakish monsters with talking squids buy choice property was A-OK!

And though Fred definitely looked like a goofy fat slob, the guy had to be stronger than a brontosaurus in order to start that solid stone and wood car courtesy of his two feet. Yep, The Flintstone family car is a marvel of science that can make hairpin turns, despite having a giant granite cylinder with a single axle for the front wheel. Perhaps if late NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt was driving one of those heavy duty vehicles, he may have been alive today (please send hate mail to me at [e-mail]).

1. To understand cartoons, one must suspend normal physics

We're operating under a different set of rules in cartoon-land.

2. Wisdom...

10. For every vengeance there is an equal and opposite revengeance.

This is the one law of animated cartoon motion that also applies to the physical world at large. For that reason, we need the relief of watching it happen to a duck instead.
