Other Species - Astonish Me

P

Paul Boote

No Longer a Member
Short film produced by the WWF on its 50th anniversary to draw people's attention (especially those few, noisome "luminaries" who want lots of others to feel that is vital to kill the many in order to protect their own very p-poor few) to what we have got and not got species-wise. Warning to those who might find beautiful creatures distracting or offensive: features Gemma Arterton in a gorgeous red dress and high heels.

The Chairman on Friday

Subject: Sooty for Prime Minister


With the new e-petition site - http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/ - up and not running (owing to people wishing to ban, remove and hang everything and everybody, including otters), I thought that we should get a petition together for this little chap -

article-2022007-006A511D00000258-198_224x402.jpg


- for his selfless services to vermin eradication and generally making Britain a better place - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbi...aniels-hospital-check-Sooty-pelted-pizza.html

Sooty For PM, I say!

The thing is are they newly discovered or new to the planet? Just because we have a basic understanding of evolution it doesn't mean it's stopped. Species extinction in not something which is exclusive to our modern age, it'd been going on for millions of years, that's why we don't have sabre toothed tigers or woolly mammoths any more (mores the pity), could it not be a logical assumption that for every species which goes extinct something else is evolving to fill it's own particular niche? If that is the case then it stands to reason that along the way many of these branch lines on the evolutionary railway are going to end up obsolete and disappear in a few millennium while others will remain viable for millions of years. Adaptability to change is the key to species survival, something which despite being a relative new species in evolutionary terms humans have achieved very well. Regardless of what else happens I can envision humans in one form or another being around for a few more million years.

Did that Polar Bear know something that Mere Mortals didn't know...?

"Hmm ... Horatio... Oh God ... Formerly of the Public Schools Exploring Society... Better kill him and as many as I can take out before they shoot me..."

Hmm....

Beens [sic]

But surely this doesn't mean that people have to continue to be forced into a compliant, take what they're given, vacant vegetative state by media- and power-playing smart-arses, forever, does it...?
 
Quite. How desperate are some of the above (the h-bs), becoming Z-list, Jordan whip me with them, celebrity footie-groupies in their later years. Angling, I have always believed, is something that should always be apart from ambition, massive but fragile egos and shoddy Show Business.

Poor Horatio, destined to become an amusing anecdote at future dinner parties or on episodes of 'Who do you think You are?'.

"Your Grandfather had a brother you know, great uncle Horatio. He was Eaton by a polar bear just a year or two before they went extinct when the great ice packs melted".
 
I thought it churlish to mention (and did not report it to the Svalbard polar bears) that young Horatio has two brothers named Titus and Magnus (true)...
