“Women in space. We’ve come a long way”
Genius.

Ooo, so since I’m deser born and raised….does that mean I can morph into a big fighting robot?
desert? desert. One should not attempt to type before coffee.
I tried wading through (currently) 11 pages of comments on the HuffPo article. My brain hurts.
Does that mean global warming will cause everything to evolve faster? Possibly fast enough to stop global warming?
I had no idea bats could be so cute…
The great atheist contribution to art will be….
Have you seen what Jackson Pollock paintings sell for? That should be proof enough that there is no god.
The Huffpo vaccine-autism article seems pretty good, at the beginning, but it turns out that this doc is pushing what seems to be *different* dubious science for what he sees as an explosion in autism rates.
@sowellfan: Argh! Meet the new woo, same as the old woo.
awww…..I needed the cute keyboard otter today.
“Evolution is faster when it’s warmer ” psssht. Big Deal. I’m faster when it’s warmer too, and you don’t see me brag about it.
I’m lying. I have nothing to brag about. That’s what she said.
Those sleeping animals touched my soul. Inappropriately.
@sowellfan: Heh, yup, it’s the very last sentence:
“But recently a totally new suspect has surfaced that warrants investigation as a potential autism trigger. In the last installment of this 3-part blog, I’ll discuss the worrisome compounds known as…endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs).”
dun dun DUN!!
Oh, goo-ood heavens… baby bat burritos!
