    Re: Its oh so quiet Shh Shh

    I'd like to point out that eugenics was a common ideology across the western world from the late 1800's to the third quarter of the 1900's. The Nazis weren't the first and they definitely weren't the last to practice it.

    It was abandoned not only because it was morally abhorrent, but also because it doesn't work. Breeding projects of all kinds have unintended consequences (eg. increased susceptibility to various diseases) and fact of the matter is, that the traits we value may have no actual practical value at all, or a lesser value than we'd like to think. If strength or intelligence is beneficial, it will be selected for regardless.

    Balding is a negative trait?

    I caught another Florida oak rat snake the other day. We were cleaning out my dad's house, and the little guy was hiding behind a wooden board right there at the entrance to the basement. My brother saw it first, right next to my hand. I caught him and put him in a tall trash can and released him in the woods behind Dad's house. Not quite as big as that one oak I caught near my mom's house a few months back, but big enough to keep escaping the trash can as I was trying to carry him.
    People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff.

    There had better have been some predictive text going on when Maria was typing. If not we have proof of some garter intelligence.

    Yes there was. She was crawling on my phone keyboard. I have swype turned on. You only have to move you finger over the letters and it figures out what you want to say.

    Got a call from my shoulder Dr. office today. They said they had some hemostats for me. I drove out and picked them up.

    80 pair of hemostats and scissors. WOW.

    Who needs a pair of hemostats? PM me.
