  8. When I was a kid, I remember meeting this friend of one of my dad's friends when we were all out on a fishing trip on the Kenai Peninsula. He was taking some medication for some bug that he said was basically eating his fat cells. Who needs a vaccine when you have a natural predator for fat?
  9. This from the man who bush-wacked through devil's club for 2 days....just to climb some rock If it'd been a woman, he'd have called the whole experience 'a good date' and would be swooning and extolling her virtues to all who would listen.
  10. Maybe we should just teach it in high school and 'let the children decide'?
  11. Yes, yes. Très drôle, Dru.
  12. Are they different species or male/female of the same? We have an eclectus and are thinking about a friend for him. If they are different species, curious if they get along.
  13. Who's up there? Maverick and Goose. Oh, great.
  14. What the hell IS he looking for? A buxom blonde nympho ex-pornstar dentist with a bad memory?

    Most Brits don't believe in evolution Shock BBC claim By Lester Haines Published Thursday 26th January 2006 12:30 GMT A BBC survey into Brits' views on evolution has found that while 48 per cent of people opted for evolution as that which "best described their view of the origin and development of life", 22 per cent opted for creationism and 17 per cent for for intelligent design. The remainder of the pollees "did not know". Asked which of the three theories should be included in school science lessons, 44 per cent said creationism should be on the agenda, 41 per cent voted for intelligent design, while 69 per cent backed evolution. According to the Beeb - which conducted its probe of 2000 participants for a programme entitled: Horizon: A War on Science - this is evidence that "more than half the British population does not accept the theory of evolution". Horizon editor Andrew Cohen said: "I think that this poll represents our first introduction to the British public's views on this issue. Most people would have expected the public to go for evolution theory, but it seems there are lots of people who appear to believe in an alternative theory for life's origins." Hmmm. In fact, we could claim that almost 70 per cent of Brits back the teaching of evolution, although we concede that, according to the figures, they must also have backed the inclusion of at least one of the other two options. Typical woolly-headed liberal thinking there. Regarding what people actually believe, as opposed to what they think their kids should be subjected to, the 22 per cent who got behind creationism is hardly a shocker, being as it is a de facto tenet of much of Christianity. In fact, just 17 per cent of Brits believe in intelligent design - just ahead of the 13 per cent who really don't know or don't care. The one interesting fact to come from the survey is that "participants over 55 were more likely to choose evolution over other groups, while those under 25 were most likely to opt for intelligent design."*
  18. Nice to see that Solidier of Fortune subscription has worked out so well for you.

    There goes your excuse that liberals are emotional and conservatives are rational....

  21. Anything we do here is vastly more interesting than those MN favorites: 1) ice fishing 2) cow tipping 3) inbreeding
  22. My vote for this month: “And about Bill Clinton . . . . You know, I really think he should have been impeached, but not for a blow job. His policies are responsible for killing more Iraqis that George Bush.” — Cindy Sheehan Trying to recall other examples....
  23. No Nuptse's available from T-P. :-(
