I Heart Chaos: Not a link. Just the origin of the taco.

Little known fact: the ancient Mayans knew that cats were alien supreme beings sent to monitor humans to make sure we don’t destroy the planet. One of the first offerings made by the Mayans was the Quax’lolcato, a traditional meal served in a flour wrap that consisted of local vegetables and meats. In approx. 7518 BCE, the Mayan High Elder formally ratified the dish as the official meal for their feline overseers.
Over time, many permutations of the Quax’lolcato dish have been claimed by different cultures, including the Republic of Texas, which, when Nathaniel Boone, the then-president of the Republic, upon hearing the word, he was unable to repeat the name of the dish and simply said CATO. Since most Texans at the time were functionally illiterate, the name for the dish, ‘Cato’, devlolved into the word ‘Taco’ that we all know today. #TheMoreYouKnow
