doesn't a disrupted ph balance hurt the growth of a lot of plants? And tomatos are especially delicate. I don't rember specifically what a shift in ph does to the plant's systems. Maybe the low ph denatures important grwth enzymes or somethin'

Hahahaha . No, we were playing a campfire game. Kind of like Friends, you know, when joey and chandler speak of the game "fireball," crossed with hotpotato. There were six of us, and the game got out of hand (marshmallows, apples, c.c.raisins flying EVERYWHERE). I'm just glad the bird wasn't on fire too.

A flaming chocolate-covered raisin impacted my eyelid, as for full contact with my eye, it would have to be an America kestrel's primary feather. Stupid mother-effing bird, hurt like a b!tch

Siphonophores are a particular group of jellies where a single "animal" is actually madeup of a number of polyps, some serving different functions. The Portugese Man of War is an Example. Basic jellyfish are indiviudal, complete organisms

thanx

wait, could someone remind me, which is exo and which is xeno? I couldn't decide and edited my post like three times interchanging them.

Study of alien life is xenobiology, so alien ecology should be xenoecology, which is purely theoretical at this point. Lepton refers to the number of posts you've made. I'm a molecule. Demosthenes is a full blown organism, and you'll see primates, even scientists, when you get around to the senior members.

Do you mean perfect physically, or mentally? I could deal with the first, but the second would doom us. We need variety in the minds of the people. As for abnormalities, sometimes they just happen to make life interesting. I'm abnormal in... certain ways..... but I'm happy in my eccentricity and youthful senility, and after retirement, I would like to be a hermit up in the red wood forest.

Yeah, and yesteday, I caught an adorable little Peach-Faced Lovebird in the park by my house. She's so sweet and friendly, and she keeps climbing into my clothes and fluttering around the house (I know that sounds normal, but it's hot here, so we leave the fans on)

I've always hated hardy-weinburg. It's easy, but I can't see the practical aplication in it (in regards to my own fields) Yeah, I kinda like organelles too.

Yeah, you're thinkin o' jellies. Octopus have the most advanced brains in the invertebrate kingdom.

I jut zoomed in on a photo I hadn't realized i had. The folded beak is cearly there. An assassin bug it is, albeit an especially exotic one. I'll post closeup pics as soon as my new Dell gets hooked up.

there are many stick bugs, but no, this thing was definitely predatory, it was sitting tight on that flower waiting for a meal.

We get college credit in highschool, taking college level courses, that way we can focus more on are real education rather than on our curricular psuedo-education At least, that's how I see it. Oops, ignore that, didn't see your withdrawel. I don't drink though, I daydream.

I tried to wait and see him catch something (there was only that last flower on the bush), but it got dark. I've been going back to the flower, but I haven't seen him. I'll do a web-search for some assassins, see if anything turns up. I'll grab a few bug books at the library todayor tomorrow too.

DAMMIT!!!!!! My strengths lie in ethology, evolution, and ecology, phylogeny, anatomy etc. But what did that bastard of a test have on it?! NOTHING BUT CELLULAR BIOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY, MY ANCIENT NEMESISES!!!!! How did yours go?

was it an average, everyday seagull?

Oops, I guess I'm 19 heart attacks behind schedule. Better get to Jack in the Box!!!

was he formerly a vegan who became over guilty over the fact that in his desperation he ate an animal?

Certainly not. It had true antenna, two eyes, vestigial wings, and six articulated appendages, as well as three "body segments"

It's because if most of the men die, we girls can go lesbian, and we'd still be cute. Not so cute the other way around. Plus all that hunter-gatherer/reproductive science mumbo-jumbo

was the seagull laced with copious amounts of hallucinogenic drugs (Acid, Angel Dust, 'Shrooms?) and depressants?

I have a bio one tomorrow. I do well on the multiple choice, but only get about half on the essays (referring to school-held practice tests). Damn biochemistry and cellular processes!! DAMN YOU ALL!!!!! Right, my advice, don't try to learn everything, just try to get a basic understanding of the processes in general. And on the essays, remember to mention the really obvious stuff, sometimes it will earn you points. Hey Demos, what state are you in?

We got my great aunt "Meet the Fockers." She loved it. My mom's a shutterbug, so we got her picture CDs and a memory card, and a photo album. Then she yelled at us cuz the pillows weren't fluffed enough and the house smelled like Tobasco *Sniff*
