Monkeys are not good for pets. Nor are apes, or any other primate. Diseases travel very easily between different species of primates and while some "diseases" that monkeys carry do not affect them at all, they would quickly kill a human.
While the ownership argument is a valid point, it won't matter much to own a creature for the sake of preserving it if there are none left in the wild. That species' place in its ecosystem will still be void and the repercussions will still be there.
From a conservationist's perspective it's like saying the best way to end world hunger is to kill all the hungry people (or better, kill half the hungry people, and feed them to the other half). It works, but the logic is inherently flawed.

This is trivial. That simply shows that the force the air exerts on the spherical droplets causes them to break, and the small changes in air current cause them to break differently.
Try this in a vacuum. Oh wow, they're all spheres again...
Every raindrop only differs by it's size
(and of course by the trace elements / compounds the drop contains because the dispersion of said particles is not necessarily uniform in an active weather system).

That can't possibly be a real photo - the shadowing and lighting effects are not correct.

Agreed Ric. Quite cute indeed. But I'd say I'd need at least 8, train them to fight, and become a supervillain.

Boston Latin School is one of the best schools in the country. But Christ, they're making themselves look like fuck-tards.

Agreed, Astrochicken.
Perhaps people have a tendency to neglect the things they dislike.
Or did that not occur to anyone else?

Delicious!

People do the same thing.
The summary states that this is different from the earlier theory of suppression - how? Isn't this just adaptation? How is this surprising or different?
