Cyprus - The Hotbed of Evolution!

Postby Oracle » Fri Apr 09, 2010 1:56 pm

I hope you can all share in my excitement! :D

This is the most amazing news in the history of scientific discoveries since the Ancient Greeks first postulated the Theory of Evolution and opened the way to resolving the ins-and-outs of our presence here on Earth :D


Italian researchers have found the first animals able to live in an oxygen-free environment, a discovery that might change the history of life on Earth.

The tiny creatures, as yet unnamed, were discovered in oxygen-less conditions in sulphur-thick undersea sediment off the coast of Cyprus.

Hello Daniella

Could that be because of the Vatican's influence? How is Evolution treated in Italy?

he he! I think the Vatican has bigger problems right now ..
There is a series of scandals about pedophile priests, to whom I gladly take it off the oxygen in addition to the testicles ...

Evolution? We are really advanced you know... We allowed troglodytes to sit in parliament and senators atherosclerotic receiving a monthly salary equivalent to what I gain in 2 years ..
we're really on!
