Yeah, some people are cranky. So what if people aren't good at dancing? - Its not a professional production in a theater selling tickets. People are just having fun, and thats a good thing.
The wording of this title kind of shows (and propogates) a lack of understand of evolution. Or at least, how the theory is put forth in Darwinism...
Things don't evolve for specific purposes... they randomly mutate a trait, and if the trait aids survival and/or reporduction (which is a subset of survival), the trait becomes more wisespread.
So.. in this case, the moths didn't really 'evolve to trick bats', but rather, some evolved a trait that happened to trick bat (which aided the propagation of that trait.)
The effect is the same, but what is important in undestanding Darwinism is that the evolution of a trait isn't... intentional (or reactionary for that matter). Its random mutation, propogated and/or culled by how that mutation aids or hinders the species.
i've never even heard 'psigh' pronounced! It seems akward to say.
Also, saying a comic to be 'much brainer' than xkcd is a big claim! (Granted, an illustrated physics manual could be considered 'brainer', but if it's not funny, it's not really a 'brainy comic').
Stix-dwelling logger types in Washington want nothing to do with an influx of tourism, I'm pretty darn sure. I can hear the sighing all the way over here.
Having a 'normal' sized room that is all-bed would be fun and cool, though, if you could afford the space.
So perhaps it was all Ebony's fault? Hmm..
