Ah, this Origin Of The Species thing is all well and good, but how do you account for the Duck Billed Platypus!! (A venomous mammal that lays eggs!!)
Get yourself out of that one Darwin!

Well since I doubt Mr. Darwin is able to post a response, allow me. :)

Many creationists view the duckbilled platypus as an enigma that evolution cannot explain. However, fossil and anatomical evidence are completely consistent with the idea that the platypus evolved from primitive mammals that retained many of their reptilian characteristics.
In other words... it exists because it can.
I prefer the explanations by Mr. Pratchett, who has always insisted that animals such like the platypus exist because a. the odds demand it and b. the Universe has a sense of humour.
No, thats not a quote, thats just wisdom gleaned from his many books and comments. Its people that take older weird tales too literally that bring good people like the late Mr. Darwin in trouble. Why cant the rest of the world just accept that things... you know... happen ?
So... a happy afterlife Mr. Darwin ! Wherever you may be. *hey cat, stop purring* LOL
Master Smith, oh font of all knowledge, how do you explain the similarities between woman and a duck billed platypus? They are both venomous mammals that have eggs!
Come on oh master, teach!
Mike, if I answer that question and herself reads it you know I would be in mortal danger. Therefore, I will, as the Americans say ... Take the 5th!
Babeth, I like your definition. the universe has a sense of humour A perfectly acceptable answer to the problem.
R.I.P Mr Darwin, all is forgiven. :)
Snakes with UU eh Mike? :wink:
We took Alex to see the Brainiac stage show last night. I can highly reccomend it to anybody looking for a light hearted night out, where you can see people inflicting pain and humiliation on others.All the methane being lit made me realise how long it has been since I saw John Bell.:)
If the Swannys Bar staff are around I wish to make a complain that their establishment appears to have been rearranged in some sort of time warp experiment?? :proud:
I would like to make it clear that I was at home on the night in question - as for Jenny's whereabouts, I don't know :mrgreen:

I'm proud to announce that I'm running for elections again... this time for the Flemish Parliament. Woohoo !
Still, at the bottom of the election list, but hey, to actually be able to participate in the democratic process...
For those who wanted to know:
political party: Lijst Dedecker (right/liberal)
province: Vlaams-Brabant
place: 17 (on list of 20)
chances to be elected: snowball in hell, but working on it
A few questions that have been bothering me for a while.....
How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?
Why do you have to put your two pence in... but it's only a penny for your thoughts? Where's that extra penny going to?
Once you're in heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes you were buried in?
Why does a round pizza come in a square box?
What disease did cured ham actually have?
How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on Luggage?
Why is it that people say they slept like a baby when babies wake up every two hours?
If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing?
Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?
Why do doctors leave the room while you change?
They're going to see you naked anyway.
Can a hearse carrying a corpse drive in the carpool lane?
If Wile E. Coyote had enough money to buy all that ACME crap, why didn't he just buy dinner?
If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, what is baby oil made from?
If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?
Answers on a postcard........ :?
lol love them geoff
A question I'm asking myself as of today: will I have a new job on August the 1st ?
I'm not the only one told today that I'm being downsized, sadly enough, others who were not temps like me had to undergo the same ordeal. And at least I get a 3 and half months head-start for trying to find a new job. They hated to let me go, but the economic reality... blahdee blahdee... want to keep you at least until August, have called the temp office already for you to find something... blahdee blahdee... Silver lining and all, it still hurts. :evil:
On the other hand, I've always liked change. Change is opportunity. Change is challenge.
I have been ut of work for nearly 7 months now. I wasn't even given the priveledge of knowing why my employment was terminated.
For the record the name of the company is Orbis, now named Sitex-Orbis and they are a wunch of bankers :angry:

The tweenbot, a cardboard-bodied, cheerful little bugger, is equipped with a flag stating its intended destination. Since it can only move forward, it depends on the kindness of strangers to guide it and remove obstacles. It has made several trips through New York and made it to it's destination.
Karoline if you lived near Lincoln then i would gladly give you a job in one of my gaming establishments.
Many thanks for the kind offer Swanny. I will persevere
In my loooonnnngggggg search for a job I have noticed that no matter what legislation is in place I see discrimination on grounds of gender, age, parenthood and even geography. Let's put it this way, if I was black and my name was Samira I would NEVER get a job in a million years - I have now changed my first name on my CV to something that isnt obviously feminine so from now on my name is Kevan :)
Oh lucky me getting ready to take Alex to see the WWE again.Just got back from the personal appearance of 2 wrestlers at the Metro Centre, all i can say is that i am prerared to go the best of three falls with Layla :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
Bah! it went downhill as soon as they changed their name to solve confusion between muppets that can't tell the difference between a panda trying to hump another panda and two large guys in small skimpy outfits throwing each other around. :rofl: :rofl:
Just got back and the offer to her is still on the table :rofl:
Where on earth did you find that!!!!
The Lego Store? :shock:
