The following lines are experts from a hilarious discussion thread titled Anthropology Pick Up Lines. The entire discussion can be accessed in a Facebook group that goes by the killer name of Anthropology + Good Looks = Deadly Combination.

+ What are your sexual taboos and to which do you adhere ?
+ Are you an artefact ? Because I dig you…
+ Would you like to play host and guest ?
+ You know, you really match my culturally constructed beauty standard !

+ How about a date in Samoa ? Ideal place to come out of age…
+ Would you like to get ritually intoxicated at my place?
+ I’d love to look into your kinship patterns.
+ Can I put my Self into your Other ?
+ I’d like to render your gender…
+ Let’s subvert and transgress !
+ Would you like to see my totem ?
+ You are so reproductively fit, I’d like to naturally select you.

So we’ve all heard the many debates surrounding the seemingly unavoidable Wikipedia and its content (or the lack of). But here comes a new online ressource : Uncyclopedia.
The Anthropology article in Uncyclopedia is absolutely hilarious and I highly recommend reading it to finally get to grips with this big question “what is anthropology ?”
Enjoy your reading !
