After reading the ape/human and neanderthal links, all I can think of is, if it really happened, there'd be a movie called "I was a Teenage Ape Man", or the other one, called "I was a Teenage Neanderthal" or wait, they already did that with Brendan Fraser, didn't they?
Have you seen this Life As We Know It Nearly Created in Lab?
Nice group of link's Mr.Infidel. I was reading that somewheres myself about the micrscopic diamond's and the event's theory of 12,900 years past...the first thing I thought was.."Oh crap...I hope the creationist's dont get wind of this,they will twist it into a story of how the creator got rid of the bad animal's...and replaced former human apes with new ones from it"!
Raising Neanderthal man? This is a hell of a time to want to do that! We have too many as it is in these fundamental terror groups...study them!
Brit's feel betrayed? So should the French,German's, and us as well!
Aetheist's go to heaven? I have alway's said...that if there was a god and heaven...it's those types like aetheist's and even enviromentalist's who would go first class..the so called believer's destroy everything that their creator created...including the joy's of life!
PDX' biggest baby...congrat's!While the PDX ZOO is working fine with elephant's...Dallas' Zoo has been fighting to keep an elephant here that has became sick,old,and mentally challenged from the unsatisfactory enviroment it kept it confined in for year's,instead of letting the poor thing go to a habitat in Tennessee,because of hell raising from Lily Tomlin and other's at City Hall...Dallas will keep the old elephant...and spend $100 million or so for a new habitat,even though it's finally knocking on death's door.
I love to watch the apes at the Zoo because I feel it's the only closest thing I will get to seeing what early human's were like,but at the same time I am kind of opposed to Zoo's,because of animal confinement. I have seen your elephant's at your PDX ZOO...and love your city too!
Thanx!
Clarification on the Newton/fish item: a reader e-mails that "Actually, in 1668 Newton produced the first successful reflecting telescope, using a two-inch diameter concave spherical mirror, a flat, angled secondary mirror, and a convex eyepiece lens, so he used a spherical lens, not a parabolic one."
Vamp, thanks for the link. If that isn't "life", it misses, as they say, by the thinnest of technicalities.
