Complex skeletons existed from the beginning of the universe-in God’s plan.

Ezekiel cried, “Dem dry bones!”
Ezekiel cried, “Dem dry bones!”
Ezekiel cried, “Dem dry bones!”
“Oh, hear the word of the Lord.”

The toe bone connected to the heel bone,
The heel bone connected to the foot bone,
The foot bone connected to the leg bone,
The leg bone connected to the knee bone,
The knee bone connected to the thigh bone,
The thigh bone connected to the back bone,
The back bone connected to the neck bone,
The neck bone connected to the head bone,
Oh, hear the word of the Lord!

Dem bones, dem bones gonna walk aroun’
Dem bones, dem bones, gonna walk aroun’
Dem bones, dem bones, gonna walk aroun’
Oh, hear the word of the Lord.

ROTFLMAO!

God, how I miss people who are adept at using words like that. Like the Marx brothers or Abbott & Costello. There just doesn’t seem to be anybody who has that ability anymore. It’s all crass, base humor with no subtlety or art. No matter how many times I hear “who’s on first” I laugh my butt off as if it’s the first time.

““This fossil has been known for a long time, and was assumed to have been a primitive animal, such as a sponge or coral. This study suggests that it was, in fact, more advanced. We have suspected that these complex animals were present in the Ediacaran, but this study provides the first proof,” said Wood in a press release. Her team published its results in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.

Wood and her colleagues say that N. hermanastes may be more closely related to today’s brachiopods (marine animals with hard shells that usually attach themselves to rocks or sediment on the seafloor) and bryozoans (tiny marine animals that form colonies and encrust rocks or the hulls of boats). That means that the complex skeletons of today’s animals started evolving about 10 million years before the beginning of the Cambrian period, much earlier than scientists previously thought.”(from this article)

This may make the so called Cambrian Explosion more understandable and having a longer time period.

Cambrian period?

I've heard of that!

When the Cambrian measures were forming, They promised perpetual peace.
They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
But when we disarmed They sold us and delivered us bound to our foe,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "Stick to the Devil you know."

It figures that mother Earth would have periods.
