Does it not strike anyone as slightly odd that someone just randomly decided to taste something that was leaking out of their tree? I mean, if you disregard the fact that it was probably Canadians, it just seems completely illogical. The stuff looks enough like regular sap that I'm beginning to wonder if someone just came along, looking for his/her next hardened, amber-y treat when he/she tried to take a chunk of maple sap, realized it was impossible, took a knee, and buried their face in the tree to lick up the syrup... Not a very pleasant image for anyone, I'd think. I'd say another acceptable theory, though, is that someone was playing a practical joke on another, probably in Canada again, who had never seen or tasted sap. Person A tells Person B, "Hey, this stuff is really good, you should try some!"
Person B responds, "Sure, what is it?"
"Pine sap," snickers Person A. Person B proceeds to lick the tree and likes it, Person A is disgusted, eventually tries it, and later admits to having a good time doing it, plus he/she gets the credit for discovering it since the other person thought he'd tried it before.
Just thinking about this confuses me greatly... To me, it's kinda like whoever found water in a cactus first... if only because I wonder what in the world possessed the person to chop down a cactus in the first place. But, as I don't want to get into the cliché analysis of the guy that discovered pot or tobacco or that you could milk cows or that seaweed (or is it algae) makes for the slippery goodness of toothpaste, and I shall just end my stream of conciousness here.

maybe some guy noticed a lot of squirrels licking the tree and decided to do the impossible.

yea... but while I was gone from nutang it was basically the same stuff I did before I took that "break" so it's not much different. And anywho.... sometimes you see things when you stare at walls long enough.

maybe
the person was lost or something... like, to a point where he or she was hungry enough to lick a tree with no second thoughts.

Also, I'd like to congratulate and curse you for your googlewhack. You make it look so easy. x_X

I tried replying back, but it erased the comments I typed. Yeah, I like nutang. It's creative and the easiest to customize. Plus the help section is really good. I like how they provide users with html. Makes things much more easy. I tried getting friends to join, but I think their too lazy to click the link. =/
