It's called Murphy's Law. The best way to get an answer is not to ask the question but to say the wrong answer.

I’ve never been so delighted to play along!

Cunningham's Law states "the best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer."

Fun fact: that Cunningham is Ward Cunningham, the man who invented the concept of a wiki.

Murphy didn't need to shave, dummy, it was a genetic thing

He was actually an ancient 14th century Aztec warlord, he, uh, didnt use it for shaving.

Murphy is the anglicized version of his name-wasnt discovered until america annexed the top half of California. Which is weird because he was discovered near what is now the Oregon border.

Correct. It was for performing circumcisions.

The Aztecs actually invented it, and only thousands of years later did it filter over to a Jewish tribe they traded closely with, many anthropologists now believe.

This whole thread is making me uncomfortable. Also, it was the Mayans.

The two cultures didnt diverge until after this event, so im calling them Aztecs even though they were actually all Olmecs, who we know a lot more about than the precolumbian history of the Aztec and Mayan cultures.
