not my fault!

[Lakeshark]

But is she an evolved turnip?

[nicmarlo]

if you say so

[Lakeshark]

AS my son would say.......Holy crap!

You want my dissertation now, or later?

[nicmarlo]

I wouldn't know about turnips. : )

[Lakeshark]

And no slinking off..........

[Borax Queen]

I needed an alter ego for you quickly and couldn't think :)

[fzx12345]

I thought that a virus is not considered to be a living thing, but something more like a naturally-occuring nanorobot.

[nicmarlo]

thanks for getting my back!!! : )

[phantomworker]

Hmmm... have to ponder that. The evolution of mutant flying shark revolutions. You mean revolutions around the sun, or the revolution of flight?

[nicmarlo]

if there were revolutions around the sun...I'd think the finned one would get more burned than tanned! : )

[Lakeshark]

Freudian slip.........bad form on an evo thread......need better links to turnip speciation.

[phantomworker]

That means the registration of your flying shark pedigree.

[Lakeshark]

You mean revolutions around the sun, or the revolution of flight?

Dang. Just like an AE..........

[RightWhale]

Viruses are kind of on the edge of the definition of life. But they do many things that living things do, so whether they count as life or chemical things might be an arbitrary decision.

[Lakeshark]

I'd think the finned one would get more burned than tanned! : )

Yellow root veggies shouldn't make comments about tanning.

[nicmarlo]

but my tan is golden. : )

[Lakeshark]

Oh........just wait one minute......

*Checking in wallet for registration*

Dang. Left it at home.

[Lakeshark]

*Contemplating*

Wait, wait.......it's the third week in November in upstate NY as well, right?

What can this mean about golden tans?

Must link large article in the future for proof

[RadioAstronomer]

Are you actually trying to insert some rationality into this thread? Now?

Good luck! ROFL!
