"Last Common Ancestor of Bats, Whales, Sloths & Humans"

[AndyDufresne]

"Life doesn't spontaneously generate from dead matter." A fact that that any child in primary school knows.

Just as they know that Santa is real.

or that boys come from cabbage, girls come from roses, and are brought to their parents by stork birds. At least that's how you explain it to little kids in france, when comes the embarassing question "how do we make babies"

Don't tell me that children AREN'T BORN OUT OF CABBAGE PATCHES. DON'T DO IT. I CAN'T TAKE IT.

WHAT IS THERE LEFT TO BELIEVE IN THE WORLD.

The Frenchman is very poetic.

In Saxony we tell the kinder that girls are chiseled out of rock in the Lugau-Oelsnitz coal mines while the boys are forged out of steel at the Raschau iron works. A She-Troll from the forest carries the kinder to the parents. When the She-Troll arrives with the kinder it is slain by the villagers and her body parts hammered into schnitzel and served as a feast while the fluids of the She-Troll is drained and the child nursed on troll blood and marrow (helps avoid embarrassing conversation about breasts).

I've always heard that if you are superstitious your ears will turn into cabbage but I don't believe it because I don't want to take that chance.

So just going to gloss over the fact that evolution has little or nothing to do with spontaneous [life] generation?

Those boxing chaps are a really superstitious bunch I tell ya!
