@ralph and @supertranslatorguy (same person? your replies are exactly the same, to the character). No it doesn’t mean “no worries”, unless you can prove what language… So stop perpetuating this myth. I’m going for the weird name theory.

I must be checking email in my brain because I thought of that very thing right before I got your comment.

Also, the naming is downright irresponsible. Bostonians will be reduced to grunting and pointing at the electronics cabinet at Walmart.

How long ’til Cory Doctorow is pimping posts about iPads built into Makers’ dashboards?

Comment on Explain the Emerald Cockroach wasp, Charles Darwin by Lance

A much tougher problem for evolutionazis is the sand worms of Arrakis. Please explain to me how a worm, 8 times longer than a blue whale, that poops LSD developed in this particular evolutionary niche. Like there was once a worm as big as a blue whale, but larger, slower worms that had to spend more of the day feeding were better at surviving? Surviving what? Scorpion bites? Patrick Stewart? Give me a break. GOD PUT THOSE WORMS THERE TO TEST MAUDIB, PLAIN AND SIMPLE. The Bible says it, and I believe it.

First off, consider the alternative to natural selection. Would something with intelligence create something that appears so random? Who thinks of these things?

Also, although the steps are elaborate, it’s not likely that they were developed all at once. If the larvae can eat the cockroach, my guess is that so can the wasp, so the initial steps might have been fixed because they were good for food and basic survival. Like the first sting was better than no sting (easier to eat a cockroach that isn’t moving). The second step would be useful for storing that food for the future (keep it alive so it doen’t rot). Then the third step, lay the egg, doesn’t seem like that far of a stretch.

No, it’s more like “the giant gelatinous space slug, which had eaten me, went to the show”.
