BREAKING: German Expressionism Night at Citi Field has been canceled after player complaints that the large, abstract set-pieces and haunted, gloomy-looking actors were obstructing play. Czech New Wave Night is still set for next week, though Mets players and fans have now been advised in advance to be aware of any extended metaphors for interwar Europe that may occur between innings.

One of the best stories humanity ever produced was a draft of a rewrite of the Epic of Gilgamesh written by a Ecuadorian poet in 1935. It was tossed into a fireplace by an angry boy and lost forever. Another of humanity's best was told 65,000 years ago and was overheard by a small tribe of embarked Neanderthals boating down a river in what is now northern Georgia. A short woman at the bank scrubbed a wooden idol in the water and sang an ancient tale in an unknown language. These two are eclipsed by everything produced by two brothers at the coast of what is now Cameroon between 503 BC and 490 BC, which they shared with some family and friends, and were beloved by everyone except a sour uncle.
