I haven>t read it but I guess is almost as improbable as the savanna stories
of human evolution.

I defy you to find any evidence or proof that this was NOT the case.

Oh you should. It is all the things you value in a theory of human[/quote]
evolution - panadaptationist, arguing on the basis of absence of
countervailing evidence, and so forth :-)

[quote]Joke? Why would you say joke? The basic problem is that
Lorenzo trained his cats to type on a keyboard. they had
something to say to Marc Verhagen but since they are CATS!
they did not know how to express themselves, instead they
became very egocentric on the whole matter and now you have
PPCT.

You have to understand that no self-respecting cat would lower itself to
subscribing to such a theory. It just isn>t *cattish*! I know. I>ve been
an obnserver of cats for some time now. . . >;-)

Wrong, Lorenzo>s theory is funny in a comedic way. Marc>s
theory is funny but in a disturbed kind of way, funny is not
the intended consequence of Marco>s theory. |
