Please don't encourage the use of emoticons, making them clever
and/or funny should be the main method of identification.

In theory, theory and practice are the same.
In practice they are not.

There's the problem. Most of us have a much higher IQ.

It was a poor joke fifty years ago when it appeared in an Archie
comic. And it is just as spurious now as then.

dude... If you have not seen the movie "Idiocracy", go get it now! You will
laugh your ass off. It's about the de-evolution of our species. And it's a
Mike Judge film (al-la King Of The Hill, Bevis and Butthead). But the movie is
not animated.

One walk through of the Museum of Natural Science in NYC will clear all that up!
I just went a month ago, pretty impressive.

>although on Usenet there is sufficient evidence to see man devolving to ape!

No doubt.

Individuals never evolve. "Apes turning into men" would be metamorphosis,
if it were to happen at all.

Are straw monkey sound bites infectious?

.... and a missing link is just a gap between gaps in understanding ...
