As good as gold...

Who was it that first decided that gold was valuable. I mean when you look at the stuff, its largely useless in any sense. Its too heavy... its too soft... its not particularly attactive (at least to me)... the purer it is the weaker it gets. I mean, what braniac picked this yellow crap off the ground and said THIS is what we are going to base the monetary economy of the realm upon. At least a diamond is hard enough to be used on drills or as focals for lasers and such. But this sickly yellow rock... I'm going to kill a race of south american natives over. Yeah, makes sense... (sarcasm added)
