I've heard similar theories, sometimes with even lower numbers. I tnded t discount them, on the grounds that once a population gets below a certain size, you'd see inbreeding effects, mental retardation and suchlike. And then I looked around me...
Can someone explain to me why kangaroos aren't kosher? They're not mentioned one way or the other in Leviticus. Now even though the ancient Israelites hadn't heard of kangaroos, you'd think God would have (what with him being omniscient and all that) in which case it's odd that he didn't mention them. If you were cynical, you might conclude that it was all made up by some dude who'd caught a bit too much sun on the old bonce.

People who role-play might be more inclined to game the system - definitely not a desirable personality trait to have in personnel deployed in sensitive positions.

Have you have ever watched the sun come UP, or enjoyed a nice SUNSET or asked someone to meet you at HIGH NOON???? If so you must believe in the idea of a flat earth too.

I thought I was the only one who finds clowns scary! They used to terrify me as a kid, and that was way before "It" came out. Luckily my Uncle Marvo taught me how to put them in their place.
But what if (as is OFTEN the case) people are looking up something because they DON'T know? I know thats why I use an encyclopedia. Isn't that what its for?
If the people reading it don't know, that's one thing. If the people writing it don't know, that's something else.
Read the first edition and you will find all sorts of politically incorrect ideas, little things like why all those savages in the colonies are so happy to receive the benefits of membership in the glorious British Empire.
They're little things in your cells that generate energy. You only inherit them from your mother. Some people think that they were at one time a kind of symbiotic bacteria.

Agreed. Many, many parsecs ago.
He probably didn't know how to convert volts from metric to imperial. Actually, neither do I...
That's right. I mean the flags are all wrong and the shadows are fluttering. Or something.

No, that's what I thought at first.
Do they still speak it in some parts of India?
No? Well neither did anyone else, at the time.
Talk at, yes. Speak at, no.
Unless he's referring to the ship, in which case it should be aboard, not at.

Wrong! It was Leonardo DaVinci, but it never caught on because it was useless untill Bell invented another one.
