Like I said. Anyway you can’t get a whaling ship full of oil from their critter ancestors, so I suppose evolution is good for something.

Easy way to test the theory: Round up two of every known kind of deer in the world, take em about 100 miles off shore in a boat, toss em in, and see if any of em survive more than about ten minutes....

“interesting and useful,”
Interesting? A bit. Useful? In what way? I hope a lot of money is not being spent on this!

To be honest, after about 5 minutes of watching the deer swim, we cracked open some beers and wound up forgetting all about our experiment.

So results thus far are inconclusive.

Abstract knowledge is always useful, sometimes in ways you don’t expect.
