Who you calling a HOMO?

[JimRed]

Whenever men and women of any species get together, they party!!!!

Homos can't breed. Refer to sarcasm tag.

They what? Fur Shur they got some of them guys will handle anything.

Thought that was Sinclair Oil.

You are correct. Our local station carried all three brands at different times. I remember the dino on one of them.

[Rurudyne]

Not precisely true. Take the instance of the Petawalksi's horse and the domestic horse, for example.

The fusion of on two base pairs from the one seems to have occurred in historic times, and the two are compatible with few fertility problems. A mating results in an animal with 65C where one domestic horse chromosome is the same as two in the wild pony.

As a result of this fusion the domestic horse has become similar enough to an older branch of the family, the donkey, to make it possible to cross breed (producing an animal with 63C); however, these are normally sterile because of differences between the genes.

The point that should be made is that even if a fusion is an otherwise harmless mutation (fissions would appear to be more problematic) there is still no multiplicity of canids with similar sexual function and behavioral tendencies between the canines and the vulpines. At least not as there is for the extended family that includes horses.

Given the range of these species, as well as the success of the basic design––even their response to domestication is similar given one Russian experiment––it would seem inexplicable that there are just those with 78C or 34C.

Again, there is no good explanation for this as far as I know.

No doubt the answer is in the electronic substrate ~ wherever that is.

We got on the chicken and the egg with my 11 year old granddaughter. She will no longer eat eggs...That led to teaching her what my grandfather taught me...candling.

[Diggity]

Probably just think alike.

[Rurudyne]

Funny.

I always thought it was blowing in the wind.

Of course in Texas––Land of Tex-Mex and the Refried Bean––it's often an ill wind that blows.

Not that we have anything on the curry-eaters of the world. ^_^
