      Every day in small ways Darwin brings a smile to my face.
                                              \_ This is so tragic!
                                                 How can you find this
                                                 humorous?!?
             You sound young, spawn.  Soon you will _/
             understand our ways and become stronger.
        \_ No. Darwinism would've killed the woman. She can still reproduce
           and propagate her stupidity.
                \_ Regardless, she's less likely to reproduce.
                \_ You don't understand how it works.  It's not black and
                   white like that.  It's about the odds and long term chances.
                   With only one arm, she's _less likely_ to reproduce.  If
                   she does, her children are _less likely_ to survive to do
                   their own reproduction.  Her mate is _less likely_ to have
                   pro-survival genes as well, since only a loser would have
                   a woman like this.  Her children, having been born to two
                   stupid people, may manage to spawn, but then _those_
                   children are less likely to improve the tree, either.  It
                   will work out fine in the long run. Darwin is alive and
                   well.
                   \_ You don't understand how it works.  Stupid genes
                      sometimes result in disaster like above.  However,
                      sometimes is
                   \_ I stand corrected.
                      \_ Why does someone keep deleting this?  This is a
                         simplified but factual statement about how
                         Darwinism works in the real world as applied to
                         human beings.  This is not a troll and this is not
                         the typical mindless motd drivel, nor is it an
                         inappropriate topic for the motd.  If this is some
                         religious fish-on-bumper whacko deleting this, then
                         seek your church's assistance for your weak faith,
                         don't mindlessly censor the ideas of others.

2/12    Happy Darwin Day!
        \_ To you as well, Cousin Monkey!
           \_ If you really think about it, we're monkey cousins even
              with creationism.  We're all "children of God" so to
              speak, if you accept that we're all living creatures.
                \_ Creationists don't think that way.

The 28-year-old woman was flown to Swedish Medical Center in Englewood, where she was in critical condition Saturday evening and undergoing surgery for her injuries. A woman who answered the phone at the Prairie Wind Animal Refuge late Saturday afternoon said owner Michael Jurich was not available and hung up. Jurich opened the center, northeast of Kiowa, as a home for refugees from zoos, fur farms and hunting clubs. It houses scores of animals, including lions, tigers and bears. The woman's name was withheld while her husband tried to reach other family members Saturday evening. The refuge has a license from the Colorado Division of Wildlife, Shaw said. Roughly 20 people were at the refuge when the woman was injured. He said the Denver woman, who has been a volunteer at the center for six years, was talking about the animals with a visitor. She was asked whether the refuge's operators ever had problems with people sticking their hands in the cages. Within moments, it moved further up the woman's arm, biting, and finally ripped off the limb at the shoulder.
