Unexpected Evolution of a Fish Out of Water

Grrr. Talk about misleading thread titles... I can't believe I went through that entire registration procedure for that. I thought it was the announcement of some new species of blenny or something that had expanded its ability to stay out of water. Rufus, you are an evil, evil man.

OTOH, it was a pretty funny article in a trivial-pursuit kind of way. I see that UGA is funding really important research these days.

Morpho,

Did you see the phylogenetic tree?

Quetzal · 02-11-2003, 10:00 PM

Yeah, pretty funny. I'd never seen the godbot "truth" fish swallowing the darwinfish before.

If evolution is lies, surely it should choke on it?

I like it! Especially the phylogenetic tree, with the jesus, darwin, and misc. "phyla".

(edited stupidest possible spelling mistake in biology...)
Fuckin' latin.

Make that "phyla."

Doubting Didymus · 02-12-2003, 03:16 PM

I spell how I want.

I didn't catch the misspelling. How bad was it?

I saw one of those "Satan" fishes a few days ago and laughed my damn head off. The xians must really hate seeing their precious fishie symbol mocked like that.
