Deep Thought

In antiquity, armies used war pigs as a weapon to counter elephants used by other armies.

At this time it is not certain whether it was just the squeals of the pigs, or if the pigs were coated in pitch and lit on fire before being driven towards the elephants.

This says something important about humanity, but I have absolutely no clue as to what this important thing actually is.

To the best of my knowledge, the Black Sabbath song has nothing to do with this historical factoid.
