Isn't This Darwinism?


I feel bad about this, but I am not doing to well focusing at the moment, so this is going to have to be a re-post. I went out with someone new tonight, in the effort to try and meet new people, and two Vodka Fizzes later, I am tired and ready to dive under those deep fluffy cover with Moritz and sleep, or at least try.

This re-post is honor of that eight-limbed baby that suffered from a successful surgery today. Get ready to be disgusted, I really am just that bad of a human being.

Nothing like a perfect Vodak Fizz, made be a Belgium, to ease an overly long Wednesday.

My man took the picture, thought it was fitting. Thanks, Lover.


Lucky Babies


Here's something I just don’t get.

I was reading in the paper the other day about a baby born in China with a third arm, and that some sort of special doctor would perform some sort of special surgery, and blah blah blah.

So, I recently moved and because I am hell-bound on making things harder I hand carried quiet a bit of my stuff from my friends house to my new apartment. And let me tell you, if I would have had a third arm I would have saved my self a lot of back pain. I would have been very upset if I was not given the choice to keep my third arm or not.

What is wrong with the world today?! Is this not evolution?! Who are we to take away this baby's arm? Was it not a gift?
If you bought a pair of pants and it came with an extra pocket would you cut it off because it was one too many? I think not.

And wasn't there a mermaid baby somewhere? Again, they performed some sort of miracle surgery to separate the baby's legs. I'm sorry, but do you know how many little girls want to be mermaids? They even have Mermaid Barbie. Does that not say something about little girls aspirations?

Aren't these the new X Men?

WOW, that picture WAS perfect for that post. And you didn't give yourself credit for NOTICING that sign. It really was a thing of mystery - and had you not pointed it out to me, I would have completely missed it.

Interesting point about these types of development anomalies being evolution rather than defects. Perhaps by not letting these developments run their course, we've effectively been voiding ourselves of evolutionary progress. Of course, true evolution has to be genetic, I think. . . else the traits are never carried on. By the way - I think mermaids are only cool when they have normal legs on dry land which turn into fins when they get wet. (Isn't that what happened in Splash?) :)

James' comment got really geeky there for a while.
I don't have anything else to say because this is a repost.

hi its me again. i like mermaids. i memorized the ENTIRE little mermaid song she sings about her collection of stuff. next time i see you, i'll sing it. hopefully, hopefully we will be sitting up on the gutch taking in the view. i'll belt it out. i like your thought process. maybe we should let babies just be. but then think about the ridiculous amount of name calling the doctor is saving him/her from. (JUST a thought) i misssss u
