Fairweather Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 i will not belong to this club if it would allow me to be a member. i have principles. The club only cares about you if you are still in the ether spreading around your code truth is the club doesn't even care or know you exist or it exists membership is automatic even if you are a believer or not since selection is done by a sort of invisible hand and I think this is why it is so beautiful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonG Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 A co-worker once found a road-killed mountain beaver and hid it in our walk in freezer. He brought it out for the Christmas party in the form of a white elephant gift. I thought I was in a David Lynch movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairweather Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 how fit are you? in the biological sense of the word I mean.

ivan Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 a question which i have no answer for at hand: have the anti-evolutionist arguments themselves evolved over time? at first blush, the "intelligent design" counter-argument would seem to qualify, though i don't know when exactly that nonsense was first made flesh...

ScottP Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 We have another living fossil right in our own backyard: Mountain Beaver Weird critter. They eat their own poo, climb trees, and don't hibernate. And they're not real beavers, either - more closely related to squirrels. Anyone ever seen one? I haven't. Not long after moving into my house, which backs up to a greenbelt on the lot, I saw this furry football dragging a large branch of a rhodie down into the trees. In the next few days it managed to take 2 rhodies down to stumps and make several hostas disappear. I ended up using a live capture trap to move it to a park about a mile away. They are curious little animals. They create paths in dense underbrush and partially burrow. I managed to get rid of the lot of them on my property by clearing out the english ivy that covered almost all of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea we haven't evolved quickly enough to eat our present diet is paleo dogma. It is also just plain wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I often wonder what is more retarded: paleo diet, or crossfit? It's interesting that both appeal to the same kind of person. Q.E.D.! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
