Back to evolution:
On Hawaii (yeah, the US state in front of the west coast of the USA) there were studies on insects. One type of insect (I think some kind of fly) showed high speed of evolution (due to their short lifecycles). when a Lava stream from the Mauna Kea isolated a small piece of jungle it became most obvious; When scientists returned to the place after one year, there were two sub species there (one living in the isolated part, the other in the rest of the area). One year before, they were all the same.

Umm...sorry to interrupt, but I just thought I'd say this has to be the most interesting thing I've ever read...

Ur...cheers!

Hmmmmmmmm.... The thing is, it's got back to the 'What Auntie Mable did 15 years ago' kind of argument. It's that kind of assumption that 'They did it, so can we' that allows the system to be abused so utterly in the first place.

what, you mean besides the dead people that voted for Kennedy?

Dead people get elected to congress. Seriously though, I have never heard about that. Looks like I was wrong.
