Cool. Is that Michael Jacksons glove?

The earth was capable of sustaining lifeforms more complicated than corporate vice presidents over 500 million years ago.

Interesting.

I hope I don’t ever dress like that regardless of how long I live.

Did it vote for Bernie???

Hey, a 550 million year-old worm is life!

And a human with a heartbeat is not.

Okay, I was expecting Biden. I like RBG better.

“think”

They must have a very abstract understanding of the word “think”. Even plants can “think”, in the sense that they vary their behavior depending on an assessment of environmental factors. But that’s not thinking the way we think of it.

Dem’s go back that far?

This made me laugh.

A common theme in Chinese TV action/fantasy dramas is some supposedly extinct underground insect that is inadvertently uncovered by archaeologists/tomb raiders/construction workers and then proceeds to wreak havoc on the local population, either because they are poisonous, or radioactive, or emit some sort of electricity or force field. They generally glow in real cool colors so that’s how you know they are dangerous.

“A 550-million-year-old worm was one of the first animals to move and make decisions...,”

The tracks indicate the animal was moving toward or away from something. And the ability for animals to move, and move with purpose, transformed the Earth, study author and Virginia Tech geochemist Shuhai Xiao said.

I can easily be sure that if the darn thing moved, it had to be toward or from something whether it knew it or not. The article didn’t say it had a brain or a nervous system. And without those, it couldn’t make a decision. Some people can read War and Peace and get nothing out of it but others can read the back of an aspirin bottle and see the world for what it is. I guess they couldn’t blame Trump on this one and it was a slow day.

So the 550 million year old worm is more intelligent than Dems? 😋 It makes decisions...unlike Dems who says without thinking "Trump is a Racist"...

Not a bug. Not even an insect.

Poor Hemiptera: so often slandered.

I think that I dated her. She married a Democrat politician.

When I saw “worm” in the title, I assumed it was an article about the not so great Senator from Illinois - dickless Durbin.
