"sponges... our ancient ancestors. " Huh. Not much evolution since then, I guess.

Elaine worries if this is true all men are sponge worthy.
To: EveningStar
One of those balls of jelly currently resides on the president’s skull.
So much for evolution.
To: alancarp
A sponge is simply a feeding tube, the most basic “complex” animal possible. Food goes in one end, waste is expelled at the other end, nutrients are removed.
Every other animal - insects, fish, birds, mammals - is a more complex “wrapping” around that original feeding tube.
To: EveningStar
Maybe your ancestors were a blob of jelly and maybe my ancestors were a blob of jelly, but General Lee’s ancestors sure weren’t a blob of jelly!
To: Portcall24
then his loss at the hands of blobs of jelly discredited his ancestors?

Umm, yeah - my reaction was based on the notion that many humans seem to be sponges for welfare support today.

Comb jellies? The jellies sound smarter than the experts chattering about them.
