Peenuts have been out for about 12 years. I find them kind of annoying, unless the flare of the crack perfectly matches the flare of the nut, they fall out.

It would, of course, be equally valid to ask why Paul went up the mountain by himself when his partner was unwilling to continue. I have also wondered why he left his pack behind. Was he just going for a quick recce or did he seriously try to solo the route without most of the equipment he had brought? I have only heard 3rd hand info on this and a lot of the info I have heard does not make sense or doesn't add up.

I heard two climbers from Colorado quietly sent it last year and rated it 5.4 AI4 M5. Look for a report in the new AAJ. Right Mike?

When the brain starts thinking about the brain, and tries to catch itself thinking, then whoops. There you go. The rabbit hole.

This was in the Kloke "Skagit Boulders and Outcrops" guide from the 70s too.

In some thread a few years ago about the pink tricam I asked, "I wonder why they don't make a smaller tricam?" Some guy named "Dru" said because it would get fixed all the time. Huh. Booty!

Arguments that morality is genetic often fail to recognize that many genetically-based behaviours would be termed immoral. In short, claiming a genetic basis for morality is as silly as claiming a religious basis. On the other hand, a good chunk of philosophy arises directly from the consideration of morals - arguments over what is good and what is bad, and the attempts to derive a system of defining these that is not self-serving or self-contradictory. It would therefore seem that morality gives rise to philosophy, which results in new definitions of morality, and so on. Positive feedback cycle. I will agree that many of the more intelligent animals - primates, birds and so on - have been shown to understand the concept of fairness, in that they get upset when another test subject gets consistently given more treats than they do. But I doubt that Papa Bear considers it immoral when he eats Baby Bear.

Many animals will, on occasion, eat their young.
