    I think Lightman may be Sasquatch, thus proving the theory.

    Because man did not evolve from monkeys and apes. Rather, monkeys, apes, and man all have a common ancestor, and that ancestor is no longer around.

    Because we evolved from a prime mate that at the time was more advanced than both monkeys and apes of that time period, and the modern day monkeys and apes evolved from a less developed prime mate.

    Therefore...we aren't truly an evolution of what we see as monkeys and apes in the current day, but an evolution of a species that started out even less advanced than monkeys and apes of the modern day. The modern day monkeys and apes will one day become as advanced as humans are, and we'll one day evolve into a race of super beings capable of telepathy, mind control...and flight.


    Just my $.02


    Except the part about flight...I don't think people will ever sprout wings...lol

    If someone with multiple personalities threatens to kill himself, would it be considered a hostage situation?

    Depends on which person he is, and which one he's threatening.

    If he goes through with it, is it a mass murder, or a suicide pact?:p

    No, we are "food" (cattle) for an alien species that comes by once every 70,000 years or so for the harvest. That's why they can only track our dna by race back to the beginning at 70,000 years. The ufo sightings are captures are to see how we taste and if we are ready for market.

    I asked this question once, but I forgot the answer. The answer I remember getting was that monkeys are still around, because they were still able to live even if they didn't evolve to humans. I am a complete noob on evolution I haven't studied it yet, but from my understanding is that if the species didn't evolve, then they would usually die and become extinct. Which wasn't the case with monkeys which is why they are still here.

    No, because we all know there is only one body. The person may feel he's two different people, but we all know it's just one mind, and body. It would be considered a medical illness.

    LOL, I was posting it to see if someone who actually knew this stuff can give a better answer. So if you are seriously going by what I just said, I wish you the best. You are most likely being sarcastic, and obviously missed the point. I hope this clears it up for you.

    I think so. And if he follows through with the threat...it would be a murder/suicide.


    Now....Why does Porky Pig wear a shirt but no pants. Also, Why does Porky Pig wear a towel around his waist after a shower, and then remove the towel and put on a shirt with no pants? Is he related to Doro?
