<p>as in a grain farmer's implement ?! (wasn't sure what punctuation to use there so i just went with both.) ::: cue dramatic music ::: Or is it just another hidden layer of meaning on the tattoo I will likely never get? </p>

<p>Suppose we need a new symbol for death then. Maybe a wild animal? Getting mauled by a lion seems pretty paleo.</p>

<p>Scythes were first used for mowing grass to produce hay to feed to livestock.</p> <p>Only later on did the scythe replace the sickle and so were also used for harvesting cereal crops. </p>

<p>Little known fact: the grim reaper's fingertips are made of pure gluten. Avoid the touch of death.</p>

<p>According to Family Guy, the grim reaper can't seem to get a date. Must be the scythe.</p>

<p>Let's look at the facts...</p> <ul> <li><p>He's not looking very healthy these days. I'm pretty certain the grain gluten has had a significant impact on his body composition. I mean... look at his bone structure.</p></li> <li><p>He appears to be quite disturbed. I have often wondered if some kind of autoimmune personality disorder from his wheat harvest is plaguing him.</p></li> <li><p>We have talked about looking at the physical form of the health gurus of Paleo, and some have noted that it's tough to follow a person who doesn't seem to be a positive walking testimony for their lifestyle. Well... I dunno bout you, but I might have a hard time getting motivated to look like this guy.</p></li> <li><p>He's also a bit pale in the face, almost like he is malnourished or something. Maybe it's too much phytic acid? Or maybe the gluten proteins have completely eroded the lining of his gut, which then led to total erosion of the remainder of his body including his skin. I bet his vision is suffering too. We don't know that for sure, but is it really that much of a coincidence that I know TONS of people on the Standard American Diet that look just like this? </p></li> </ul> <p>So there you have it folks... I don't think it's a coincidence at all. Ye be warned.. mu-ah ah ah!</p> <p><img src="http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u230/CLSD/Grim-Reaper-psd36292.png" alt="alt text"></p>
