Right, a single new advancement isn't going to mean that it's suddenly a brand new species, sexually separate from others of it's kind. That's how a good mutation works. From the original "mutant" it is spread to it's offspring by way of a non-mutated but perfectly compatible mate. If beneficial, these offspring will prove to be more successful, meaning that they have better chances than mutation-less members of the species. Soon enough, animals bearing the mutation will dominate the gene pool. It's just stupid to believe that a new mutation means that the animal can only breed with animals that share that gene. If that were true, blondes couldn't mate with friggin' brunettes. Simply illogical. I mean, even species as different as lions and tigers have the potential for occasionally concieving fertile young.

bad image.... must get a powerdrill....to drive it out Those are good and useful devices, powerdrills. As muderous devices they're more upclose and personal than weed-whackers, and you can do interesting things with them. -

I had a cheap one, and I loved my cheap one, but then fate broke my cheap one, so I took it out back and examined it to make sure i couldn't fix it, then beat it with a hammer. Nearly as fun as bubbles. -

naw, just an unhealthy imagination. I love water. And bubbles, which as any pretend-scientist with fake knowledge will tell you is the result of interactions between air, water and soap, thus meaning that to get bubbles, I must use all three, with the final prize of lather, which is many little bubbles. YAY FOR BUBBLES!! Yes, that's another device I love, anything at all that results in BUBBLES!!! -

someone who doesn't like washing their hands, but works hard to create the illusion that they have been washing their hands, thereby hiding their shameless, scuzzy ways -
Silly pogoboy, I adhere only to Yoda's word.

I vote for Yourdad, cuz he has carnal relations with penguins

Okay, I vote for Flyboy because... um... his avatar bugs me. Yeah, thats why.

I was just editing that out when you responded, but thanx for forever exposing my stupidity -

I like the electric mirrors, because then you can change it from your current position and make sure it's right the first time around, rather than have to lean about to adjust it, sit back, check to see that it's right, then lean about several more times just to fine tune the damn thing. Of course, I'm a small person. The Key thing is great too, cuz you can unlock the trunk on the way up to the car, hit the panic button if you can't find your parking space, or on some newer models, open your garage without having to have a second remote device for the opener. What I hate... - the tags at the necks of shirts... - the clips on pens and mechanical pencils (does anyone really use them?)... - scented candles. All the one's I like are so faint you have to burn your nose to get a good whiff... - Furbies -
Or maybe massively complex cog systems powered by leashed whales. Sorry, I'm done.

No one can deny logic so just and pure... I would also like to state once again, for the record, both that Willowtree was certifiably INSANE, and that Christ Slave, well.... if you don't already know, it's best you not be exposed to this woeful tale.

Though not all-around bad, Johnny5 certainly had his moments, especially his last.

I have that DVD set . The "squibbon" were very cool, but there was no real originality, they were basically apes in squid form.

Actually, a small population of dolphins has been found to be "tool-users" in the very primitive sense of using sponges as protective snout gloves. I might add, it's only the she-dolphins that do this - in your face you primitive males !! http://dsc.discovery.com/news/briefs/20050606/dolphin.html - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - EDIT: Certain predatory prehistoric birds once re-evolved claws for hunting (unless that evidence has been refuted?), and dolphins still possess the skeletal remnants of digits. It's possible, not necessarily plausible, but possible that under the right circumstances they could evolve some dexterity (IMO, not that it counts for much).

Does anyone else love this quote as much as I do? It's common knowledge that the FSM spontaneously forged the universe from tomato sauce and oregano. -
Eh, extra nipples ain't nubbin special

well, you see, liberals want their kids to go out and get first hand experience

Oh, I wrote that it represented a goat... dammit. There goes my credibility.

Yup, Basiliscus basiliscus (I think???), also called the, you guessed it, Jesus Lizard. One of my favorites. Even with their adaptations, they can only move about 60 feet before they lose speed and sink, though that's quite enough to escape preds.
-
So can a lizard ... and bugs You just need momentum or a small enough mass to not break the surface tension. We might find away to do the first for a short while, but we'll need Wayne Szalinski for the second.

My vote is for scorpions. They were on land even before roaches. Plus, they're just plain badasses. I mean the stingers, the claws, truly wicked critters, and they eat Black Widows for FSM's sake!
