Many "have been recorded" to have taught in parables, across multiple cultures, along almost the entirety of the vast ocean of time that we have been telling stories.

Probably a minor nitpick to you Drich, but to me..well, stop maligning our common human aptitude for storytelling.
Do you have any biblical examples of Parables being used outside of the one Christ used in the bible?
I do not doubt the effectivness of parables, I simply pointed out a fact.
