Nearly a rite of passage, then? :p

Isn't it the case with every dangerous thing in life? .... it's amazing any of us survive childhood .... lol

I'm also of the culture that originated the derogatory term 'Eskimo' .... it's an Anglesized pronunciation of what we call the Inuit ... we call them 'Ish-shish-kee-mel" ... which translates to 'Raw meat eater'

We have a lot of respect for the Inuit because they live in a much harsher climate .... and conversely they respect us in our environment because they don't know how to live in ours.
