Adam and Eve....??



Much better story than the rib signifying the lost leg of the X chromosome because the ancient sheepherders didn't have a word for chromosome but they understood cellular reproduction so they used the word rib instead (and an incredibly faulty understanding of DNA)

yet they knew the shapes of the sex chromosomes about 3200 years before Anton van Leewenhoek made the first microscope? "Other ways of knowing" and whatnot, I reckon.

It has been pointed out that you can never point out things that other people may find sad. I'm sure there are many watchful eyes that are just beside themselves with grief over the undoubtedly ruined keel on that poor little boat. IT NEVER HURT NOBODY

...called out?

What did I do?



As far as the thread in the link goes, not my style of boat at all.
If it has more than 4 hp and no sails, or is not human powered, I'm not all that interested.

I guess its just another case of more money than brains.

"So the LORD God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, "Cursed are you above all livestock and all wild animals! You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life."


Fuck you, god! Wheeeee!
