1.7 global hectare things, is that footprint size? The average for my country is 5.3 anyway, which seems high...
If everyone lived like me we would need 1 earth! Wow!
Haha, that's a rather amusing thought.
I guess it does make sense that we have evolved beyond the need for extreme body strength. I can just imagine we would be better off with the strength of a Chimpanzee, for example.
Why are we so funny looking? I mean we have no body hair, very little muscle and large protruding noses. Why do we look so different from other mammals? I have always wondered why we are so weak etc. What evolutionary pressure could there have been to reduce our muscle mass to practically...
I understand exactly how you feel, my border collie (12 years old) is from a family with a history of arthritis. Now she is pretty bad but still seems happy to go on walks etc. I know you don't want advice but you might want to try a canine physiotherapist. Jessie has been going to one for 3...
A good oldie that I've been watching again recently is Michael Palin's superb "Around the World in 80 Days". If you haven't seen the entire series then I suggest you get them on DVD. Thoroughly enjoyable, A+!
I love the cold, wrapping up warm, the grass crunching beneath my feet as I walk to college in the morning, my best friends teeth chattering as we talk at break time, getting home and snuggling up with my dog whilst watching Frasier re-runs. Winter is the time of year I love.
Maybe the question for some people here should be: Is is morally consistent to support the execution of "fully actualized" human beings and stand firmly against the abortion of foetuses?
I'm actually surprised when I discuss this with people; it seems most folks are against one and for the...
I really enjoy Dafydd to be honest, I think it's just Matt having some fun with his sexuality and how some gay people in Britain can behave at times. Often British gays convince themselves that people are homophobic. In reality, the majority of Brits are extremely tolerant and even embrace...
Tell me, would you expect life to occur in a place where life cannot exist? Of course we are on a planet where life can exist, if we weren't we wouldn't be here talking about it.
Read "The Extended Phenotype!". Richard considers it his greatest achievement in his life and I can see why. The book is truly sensational and will bring a lump to your throat in places. Biology is beautiful, I love that Dawkins emphasizes that point so much in his books. :)
I happen to love the show to bits! I especially love Dafydd, Andy and Vicky. I would love to see them live but havn't had a chance. :( Matt and David are always so funny on tv; even in interviews they make me giggle. :p
