You see men and women all over Africa carrying amazingly heavy loads on their heads. It is a skill we in the West have never mastered! When I was in Africa I tried to carry a water container on my head (as many of the people there do), I couldn’t manage it at all. I’m sure science will probably show that it is an amazingly efficient way to carry things but, when I tried, my neck ached for a week!
You have to wonder how it’s balanced
