Crocodylus siamensis are almost nonexistant
Speaking as the former owner of a C.siamensis, I have trouble being disappointed by this news. Those things are...replace the biblical serpent with a C.siamensis, and you'll be halfway to convincing me that a truly evil reptile rapped with Eve about apples one day.
So now all we need is one of those wasted chicks from Girls Gone Wild, a horny gorilla and...well you see where I'm going. At the very least it would make for an interesting research experiment.
And, either way, if DJJ charged people fifteen bucks each to see that, he might actually make a profit....
It turns out that CCR5 is needed by HIV to gain entry into the cell and propagate itself (it uses it as a coreceptor).
This fascinates me. Partly because I'm English. More importantly because, logically, the future of humanity is pretty likely to be the evolutionary offspring of today's anomalies, after everyone else is [probably] killed off by this virus.
Which is why I never particularly worry about species-killing diseases like AIDS. Well, that, and the potential for octopi to swing from tree to tree someday after the mammals are gone >:)
29. THERE ARE NO MAN-APES AND NO APE-MEN, and all that baloney you read about and see pictures of in most of today's biology textbooks is just hellish, fiendish, tommyrot! All those half-ape, half-man ape-men and man-apes, screaming and grinning and groaning like a bunch of horrors from some nether-world down in the depths of hell are imaginary monsters created by the fiendish mind of the Devil and promulgated by men.
How is that scientific?
I dunno. But, sadly enough, it'll probably get funding.
