What, by sithis, is a flatworm?? :huh:

I was just about to say the same thing!


Exactly.

So long, and thanks for all the fish!


GEE, most of the fish I got I had to get MYSELF! NOW, I am a FAR distance away from any good source. 8-(

I always liked dolphins. The perfect combination of strength, decency, gentle behaviour, etc... You know, some STILL try to denigrate them talking about how they sometimes bite, etc... I'd ALSO bite if someone held my dorsal fin all the time!

A flatworm is often a parasitic insect that often feeds off the nutrients from a hosts intestines, and propagates by sheding sections that become NEW flatworms. It is ludicrous to believe that we share ANYTHING but the most basic things with a flatworm.

BTW they would LOVE to be stomped onn. It would probably spread all over.

I swear I read that somewhere. We share 99% with a chimpanzee. Oh but that 1%. :)

Something strange did happen, but I thought it had been forgotten.
Very early in our line has been placed, The Swamp Ape.
None has ever been found, but they are there to explain why we have a tight skin with a layer of fat under it.
All other creatures with this setup are marine mammals.
We are the ape that adapted to the water, then returned to land?
All of the other land mammals have loose skin, like dogs.

Is that where all these fish came from? Caught by using flatworms?

Makes sense fish would like flatworms, as fish are already pretty much flat themselves.

Odd then, that people live in flats, but fish do not.

Well, some fish do. Goldfish, I suppose.

How ironic that goldfish in flats, live in round bowls.

Inventor, yes - this is the fascinating 'Aquatic ape' theory.

It's always been debated what it was exactly that made early ape-men start to walk on two legs - it is a very tiring and difficult thing for quadropeds to do, so the need must have been urgent. It used to be thought that we began to use tools first, so started to walk on two legs to free the forepaws for use, but now it's known that bipedalism came first and tool use later. Was it because they waded in water on a regular basis? Primates such as the proboscis monkey that are somewhat better at two-legged walking than most live in areas that are swampy or periodically flooded.

Men began walking on two legs to free up their fists for punching each other in the face. This happened before they learned how to use tools. :eye:

It would also explain why we are furless, like whales and dolphins, except for the top of our heads that stayed above the surface.

So how would dolphins treat us if we went swimming with them, would they offer us fish.

Although seriously i keep having thoughts and have all my life on how to build civillisations and cities under the sea.
