• Evolution Of The Races

  Is it possible that the various human races evolved from different types of apes or, indeed, different species altogether? Or is the person who thought this a complete moron?

  There is a drawback to solitary diving and that is, of course, the danger that comes with getting into trouble. On a recent dive I got into trouble. With no easy way to signal for an Emergency Distress Cod I found myself requiring assistance from - of all things - an octopus!

  What could a dinosaur do? What couldn't a dinosaur do? If you've got palaentology coursing through your veins where the blood should be then this is the post for you! Herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, and vore-by-vores all covered!

  Darwin got evolution spot-on - you got a problem with that then you take it up with Richard Dawkins my friend. Well, almost spot-on. Please don't hit me Mister Dawkins sir. You see, humans evolved not from apes as we've all been led to believe, but rather from bears. Oh yes.

  Milking caterpillars is a dying art and with the world on the constant edge of doom we need all the arts we can get. What would happen if the bomb dropped tomorrow? Could you and the ragtag bunch of filthy hobos who follow you around and call you 'The Chosen One' milk a caterpillar if your life depended on it? Maybe it's not too late to learn how.

  Spectacles, testicles, wallet, and watch ... even though it should be watch then wallet ... anyway ... it's the method of remembering how to make the sign of the cross. This explains why women can't do it very well. I mean ... whoever heard of a woman with a wallet? That's crazy!

  Dogs: don't like them. I don't hate dogs (any more) but it's fair to say that I'm not a fan of them either. Now, cats I like. But not dogs. And then you've got people who prefer dogs to cats. Well, they're just not right in the head are they? I think what I'm trying to say here is that I don't like dogs. Here's why.
• Caution Horse

  Where there's horses, there's caution. Where there's camels, there's questions. Put them together and what do you get? Camels and horses! Questions and caution! It's like The Odd Couple, only with animals.

  How do you stop a cat from peeing in the house? No, that's not the start of a joke.

  Animals can predict storms, earthquakes, and a whole host of other amazing crap.
  
  Do you know, for instance, nature's tried-and-tested method of determining the onset of moth-flu? You will.

  There is a world conspiracy regarding spiders; I am not paranoid.

  Turbot and fish-related tales - or should that be tails, haha!? No. It should be tales - from me, The Lying Turbot.

  Alligators are on the rampage in America. What has happened to provoke these normally happy-go-lucky herbivores? What should you do if surrounded by a coven of alligators?

  Bestiality isn't something you can just slip into. You need guidance and guidance is my middle name. Pronounced gwee-danchay.
• Animalarm

  It's an animal. It's an alarm. It's animalarm. It's not Animal Farm. That's something completely different. It's a book too, you say? Interesting.

  The Winter Olympics brings back painful memories for me of a cold wind on an icy mountain and a mission to taunt the yeti.

  Won't you think about the ear mite cast out in the week before Christmas with no job and no ear to call his own?

  I'm often stopped and asked about Giraffes and me and the period after the first world war up until the end of the second one. Okay then, here's the definitive answer.

  Original post lost in the great data loss of '05 ... but found again through the miracle of someone copying it and posting it on another website! Hooray!

  I was overcome with grief after watching a lobster get murdered on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. Consider this article a tribute to the might crustacean.

  I am a Reptilian. David Icke was right all along. But that doesn't mean I'm not warm, caring, and lovable. Okay, I'm not, but it doesn't mean that I couldn't be.

  If I had a website of my own I'd probably make a list of my favourite insects. Hey now! Wait a minute ...

  In the 1950s everyone thought we'd be flying in hovercars. In the 1960s everyone thought we'd be flying around in jetpacks. Now in the 2000s we can see that camels are the only answer.

  Cats moult. Their fur falls out and they are left completely bald. This is how moles are made. This and more when we return.

  Everyone loves space animals. Even people who haven't heard of them. Even people who think I'm mad. Even the pixie in my ear.
