Random Quote
(Complete listing)It seems to follow that there is no general reason to expect evolution to be progressive—even in the weak, value-neutral sense. There will be times when increased size of some organ is favoured and other times when decreased size is favoured. Most of the time, average-sized individuals will be favoured in the population and both extremes will be penalised. During these times the population exhibits evolutionary stasis (ie, no change) with respect to the factor being measured. If we had a complete fossil record and looked for trends in some particular dimension, such as leg length, we would expect to see periods of no change alternating with fitful continuations or reversals in direction—like a weathervane in changeable, gusty weather."

I first read 213 things Skippy is no longer allowed to do in the US Army years ago.
Skippy has been a personal hero of mine ever since.

Fun with animals or what?
This is pathetic and makes me sick. Sure the squid was dead already and otherwise eaten (a more respectable use) but it illustrates the kind of respect some people have regarding other lifeforms besides their own (oh wait, it was the military right?). Makes sense of course from a biblical perspective where animals were made for humans to do with what they please.
I don't want to come off here like some animal rights activist or anything, but think about it...
