Some folks are saying earlier that we aren't evoling. Yes we are and in fact we're one of the faster involving animals. We've got a 0.02% eveolution rate most animals such as other Primates have something like 0.004% or something... (I'm quoting a newspaper article from 4 years ago so my memory is sore).
Basically, we've got 2 millions years between us and chimpanzees. Chimpanzees and Gorillas are only just now entering the early stages of higher intelligence whereas we started our journey 2 million years ago down that path. In terms of genetics though, that 0.02% doesn't sound a lot, but then your talking about 30,000+ strains of DNA in the human DNA thats active out of the thousands of fluff DNA that does nothing. (note: a daisy has something like 100,000+). So that 0.02% was enough to have seperated us from the other primates.
Had things gone right, this might have been a 4 legged snake. The chances of its off spring also having a leg would have still been slim as most things like this are recessive genes and missing links that its mate would have easily replaced with its healthy DNA. Still I remember a few years bac about a boy born with 7 fingers on each hand and someone commenting they should not remove them and let evolution take its place. However, cutt off extra fingers does not mean the genetics in the boy weren't still there. Maybe they'll have the sense to clone it, or see if the reproductive organs have anything inside them they can salvage and put into another snake (cells).

So you think we should only take caution if it's obviously poisonous? Does that mean any loss we might endure because of unobviously poisonous snakes should just be written off?crypt-creature said:
If you live in a region with poisonous animals, it stands to reason you might want to learn how to identify them and keep your distance from them until you can, or even if you aren't sure. Most people would want to learn things like that no matter where they live.Seanchaidh said:
Also, she beat it to death with a shoe. She got close enough to get bitten anyway. If she did get bitten, it would have been her fault even if it wasn't an obviously poisonous snake.
Why? Because she got within striking distance of the animal. Which you should never do if you can help it.
Most people who get bitten by a poisonous snake don't even realize that there is a snake around or even know where it is, if a person intentionally tries to harm it out of fear or gets close to it without the knowledge or means to get rid of it, that is there fault.
If you are not sure if it is dangerous or not, why would you get closer anyway? That's really quite dumb.
She was rather lucky it wasn't a poisonous snake or one with a very defensive nature.
But here, if it's an obviously poisonous snake take extra caution, otherwise when dealing with an unknown type of critter... take caution anyway and don't intentionally get close to it.
That sound better to you?
"Dean Qiongxiu, 66, said she discovered the reptile clinging to the wall of her bedroom with its talons in the middle of the night."
Holy fucking fuck. I would have pissed my pants and screamed bloody murder.
That's really bizarre.

yay, reaching an understanding/agreement without bloodshed or flames!!... Are you sure you're human?
GAAAAHHH! she must have been an idiot! you could train it to be evil, it's the perfect evil pet ever! I could imagine an old-lady with a claw-footed-snake on a throne taking over the world. *lulz*VanityGirl said:
