"According to a 2009 Gallup poll taken on the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth, fewer than 40% of Americans are willing to say that they "believe in evolution." When another study asked if humans had developed from earlier species of animals, the American public split right down the middle. 40% said they had, while 39% rejected any suggestion that our species had emerged from the

Something better — or worse — than watching grass grow!

Our first week here in Casablanca spent making horseshoes. Rather lackluster in the features & perform- ance department, so the market reacts in teeter-totter motion. Shale rocks fracture & become toxic. Double demerit points apply. A good thing no single clinical test exists for professional ennui. Still, next time I'll make something soft.

On 26 January, 1788, Captain Arthur Phillip, on behalf of the Crown of Great Britain, took formal possession of the colony of New South Wales and became its first Governor. However, for Aboriginal Australians and many others, the 26th of January is not a day for celebration. To them the date signifies invasion and dispossession.

A SHORT time ago I found on a London bookstall an odd number of The Poetry Review, with examples of and comments on "Modern American Poets," — examples which whetted my curiosity. But the few quotations given appeared to me literary bric-à-brac, the fruit of light liaisons between American dilettantism and European models. Such poetry, aesthetic or sentimental, — reflections of vagrant

The parking lot is closed for the duration of WW2. The long- time drummer for U.S. wheat futures has quit saying she can no longer stand the aroma of roast malt combined with classic English hops. That starts the Energizer Bunnies to begin dressing provocatively. Some even dream of getting a tattoo.

Unless you're fluent in Spanish, working as a gofer on a noisy porn set is a viable option to cyber war- fare. It's a cookie-cutter approach, a bit like sleeping through a Broadway show, but it offers few offensive capabilities & lots of key strokes.

Whether that be the mechanics of water or the flow of mythology begin by drawing a circular object on your canvas.

Maybe it's because I love the flute that praying in tongues be- comes as complex as a two-sided building. Remain at your table & listen. Physical violence is a graphical tool effective only to defuse the satire inherent in government management & regulation regimes over marine areas & to provide coarse humor for skits on Channel Nine's Footy Show that vilify homosexuals.

A 1916 silent film that had an up-close- attack animation of a deep dish pizza being devoured was possibly the first ninja movie ever made. No phony Texan accents here. This language is a closed system of signs where textual smileys have been replaced with graphical ones.

No-one questions theusefulness of having a power generator around the house. A-pocalypse obsession goes back a long way,& any highly-descriptive formalism with reasoning features is convenient fordeveloping an ontology of practical steps to re-store humanity.
