Have Humans Come Close To Extinction?
waytoomuchcoffee writes "According to a new study, our virtually identical DNA indicates humans were close to extinction about 70,000 years ago. Another take on the same study tells how being lactose intolerant in adulthood was normal, and being able to digest lactose became a survival advantage after dairy farming was invented."
You, my friend, are going to get unfairly modded down to a troll. But long live Alabama Man.
You'll have that sometimes...
Fascism: A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.
Well I got that definition from a slashdot article and trimmed it a bit for the 120 character sig limit. I'm not an american, but I am quite concerned with what your government does, since we euro-peons usually end up imitating eveything you do since our leadership isnt much better than yours after all.
I know full well that my sig will not prevent anything your government has in mind but it might spare me the inflamed discourse of many a slashbot "patriot" who will rant endlessly about how great it is in The Land Of The Free (free, as in arrested indefinitely for no reason other than america's newfound fear of "terrorists", sued into bankruptcy by the RIAA for building a search engine, or SLAPPed by a company that didnt quite enjoy what you had to say about their product)
If you guys want any hope of ever being free again, you must first get everyone to acknowledge that america isnt the greatest place on Earth. Not anymore, at least.
Maybe I'll just stay in bed in the morning too and never say anything about anything again except maybe Firewall ACLs since that is the one thing out there that I can honestly say I know enough about to have an opinion on. Oh, and beer. And tits. And sports. Thats it, you've opened my eyes, thank you oh enlightened one. I'll never talk about anything ever again except beer, tits, sports and work.
Mmmmm. Beer.
