We now have a greater body of data on
obdurate man. Obdurate man has left
diaries' worth of information in the
crumbling rocks and pebbles that fell
from his ankles at every step. It is
clear that obdurate man was a master
of the obvious, that obdurate man
woke at the same time every day, that
obdurate man did not crush and was
not crushed.

Obdurate man lived in simple
but heavily reinforced houses
in barren, parched areas. He
was forced to rely on non-obdurate
man for food, and
therefore developed an elaborate
barter system for that purpose,
providing nefarious schemes and
plans in exchange for grains and
vegetables.

There is some evidence that obdurate
man originally dwelled in the
forbidding wastelands of the middle
continent, but migrated to the coasts.
There is some evidence that obdurate
man was not highly regarded, but
persevered nevertheless.
There is some evidence that obdurate
man paid his taxes and did his best to
support existing governmental systems.

There is some evidence that
obdurate man expected his fair
share, but occasionally neglected
his more obviously human aspects.
There is some evidence that
obdurate man invented complex
hierarchies just to pass the time.
There is some evidence that the
descendents of obdurate man are
still among us today.
