Walking is a transportational convention first created by the early
Basque peoples living in what we now call Europe during the way back BCs.
 Unfortunately, while the Basques were mastering walking, the Germanic
tribes were migrating towards them.  The Germanics had not yet worked out
walking, but they were quite good at running, spitting, slashing and
clubbing.  Of course, they took over the continent.  Now only a few
Basque people remain, in Northern Spain.  

Due to overcrowding, a few of those Germanic peoples, known as the
Gothics, migrated backwards from Scandinavia and into the east.  In the
east, they discovered the color black and a special combination of minor
keys and beats and ethereal woosh.  One of the major innovators among
this musical people was one Raethbaert Smaethe.  It is said that one of
his descendents returned the Gothic culture to the West, and then to
England, but I can't be sure of the details.

At the height of the Roman Empire, the Celtic peoples of England were
bullied into submission.  When the Romans split in 410, because they had
to defend against more of these Germanic folks, the postcolonial Celts
were left to fend for themselves.  After several hundred years of being
occupied and protected by the Romans, the Celts were in no shape to do
stick up for themselves.  The vikings, etc, seeing that Rome had split,
proceeded to take over the Celtic lands.  Some of them (the Celts)
stayed, some fled to the continent, some to what is now known as Ireland.
 The invaders were led by one Laenvord Dut Veelaer, whose name in moderen
English is something like "Shaggy Headed Groove Daddy."  Those who fled
to Ireland were quite depressed, but they were a spiritual people and one
of them had a great vision.  In it he was given a magical formula which
would serve to create a dark, dark beverage, later commodified as
"Guinness."  The subsequent creation and consumption of this beverage so
raised the people's spirits that they were able to create a vibrant new
culture in Ireland.

Anyway, the point is, by this time, cultures had mixed, and for the rest
of history, most all peoples could walk, run, spit, club, drink beer, and
dance, though some dance better than others.

The truth is out there, but not here,

Fred
