C'mon, don't you remember that pygmy dude with the big meticulously crafted blade? He followed for days, creeped up when the elephant slept, and pranged him in the gut. Then followed for days till peritonitis set in. Hero of his people, all women were available. Hardly a Mamoth extirpater though.

It has been found that organisms vary considerably in the minimum viable population, and inherent genetic variability within that population, required for long term sustainability.

The original canary in the mineshaft, the african cheetah suffered from a low variability. Introducing new gametes solved that nicely.

Aplodontia rufa on the other hand seems to do very nicely with less than a loving spoonful.

well, I'm glad I kept up with Copernicus. eh?

Yea, I'm with ya Skids. I added a reference to
Great Tits regarding small frozen bats not long
ago.
See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_tits
It has stayed there for a month or more.
Someone better aquainted with the system
than I, properly added the provided reference to
the appropriate section. The system worked as
advertised in that instance at least.

I miss the old magnetic perineum jokes.

When the word "Alarmist" appears 14 times in a short news article, there can't be many who don't realise they are reading propaganda rather than news.

Actually it was 15 times if we include the photo caption. My old english prof, Kasowitz, would freak.

I am as lazy as anyone else, but I guess I'm just lucky in that I understand a certain amount of english, binomial nomenclatural Latin, spanish, and 3 lesser known NA aboriginal languages. I use one language for username, and another for password. I'm so happy there is no dictionary for O'kmuK.

Tip from your friendly neighbourhood biochemist - it's not just the cannabidiol, it's the ratio between tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol that counts.

More pertinant is the prevalence of, specificaly, the delta 9 radical of tetrahydrocannabinol.
C. sativa rules, couch dope's fer fools What town was that bro?

But of course, the British and French had gay sex and created Canada, and that did something, I'm not sure what, but they sure like their hockey up there. Hell, they fucking riot when they're behind in the second period".

I'm not sure I appreciate our experimental long winter night inspired epic lustforms being termed "gay", eh?

But then I AM from the anglo side of the Dominion.

Dominion = One of the self-governing nations in the British Commonwealth. Keep that clearly in mind as time goes on. Infidel.

The AKs will be pointing _at_ the Chinese.

The math here is clear.
1 chinaman is never alone.
africans ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Besides which, when did an african ever manufacture an AK?
Yes I know some Angolans were, they never did it did they.

I'm not sure if pimping services to the world are included in this figure

Thanks man "increases allowable dosage" didn't get any hits, but ( increases allowable dosage ) got lots. I'm a clutszz at some things. thanks

I have overlaping air photos of about 200 square miles of BC mountains. A simple spectrometer yields an exagerated 3D image. How could I emulate this with software?

References please.
I'm serious, please. PM me.

It's clear, that in this situation where the entire
indian ocean is an unsafe area to traverse
carrying valuable cargo, draconian measures are
justified. The Indian Navy, among others (i
believe the humble Dutch), have blown several
pirate crews to oblivion without serious censure
from the world body of opinion. I suspect a
resounding though covert round of applause if the
  truth be known.

Other nations are willing, when they deem it
necessary, to put their actions where their hearts
  are. eg France in Ivory coast last month. That
was clearly illegal.

The US however seems to only do these
singular, heroic, and potentialy unpopular or even
  "illegal" actions when there is long term gain in
it for them, like oil for instance.

The US response to 911 could well have been a
lightning devastation of the terrorist training
camps in Afganistan. An illegal months long
invasion and disregard of the afghans
sovereignty, Maybe a few residual camps of
marines left out in the desert for quick responses
  if required. The world would yawn once the initial
  jibber jabber was done with.

But no, they make it into a f**kng, ongoing, only
  getting worse, and ill will breeding 10 year long
event.

Only a megalomaniacal mind set could examine
the history of the Pathans and their brother tribes
  with Alexander the great, Britain, USSR, and
now USA and figure it made sense to try to
dominate and control them.

Anyway, I think it is this mind set that speaks to
  amercas failure to take effective action with the
pie rats of the Indian Ocean. There just isn't
much in it for them is there?
