Adam's Peak: Why the Rib?

Jo - 'Hmm?'
Me - 'Well, god created Eve from Adam's rib right?'
Jo - 'Yes?'
Me - 'Why the rib, in particular? What's special about it?'

Jo  - 'Well, teeth? That wud hv made women stronger!'
Me - 'I mean, if humans had a rib missing on one side, they might think so. Our ribs are symmetric. What's asymmetric in a human body?'

[Now, the random tourist (RT) behind me, cut into the talk]

RT - 'Appendix'
Me - 'What?'
RT - 'Appendix, that's asymmetric!'
Me - Hahahaha... 'That's a good one. Maybe that's why women are ready to burst at any moment and hurt so much'

"Then the Lord God made a woman from the appendix, and he brought her to the man."

Decided at the last moment, hitchhiked (kidnapped??) at the middle of night in a random lorry watching the magnificent starry sky, climbing all night with Jo... everything is worth this view from the top.

Met these guys at the top: Thomas and his friend who love their two week experience in Sri Lanka. Impressed by their adaptability and optimism. Great to see u guys!

Sripada can be seen from Colombo on most days, as sun rises over it. Following photos are from [here]
