Okay folks...

I'm feeling antagonistic today. When I feel like this I troll the web Spider Jerusalem style and wreak havoc on the zealots, believers, ignorant, and skeptics by stonewalling them with irrefutable facts. Go figure, I poke holes in people's misguided interpretations with data...as a hobby...


Anyway, just after having some fun with a particularly repugnant sect of militant, anti-intelligent creationists, I stumbled over this little gem. I like bloggers, as most of them are nobodies like me that try really hard to sound professional, like me. I just do not put much validity in their posts. This guy has genuinely earned my respect in the "too much time spent on a topic" category. As one guilty of the same, I enjoyed this blog immensely.

Before I share though, lets get some ground rules straight:

Thou shalt not insult others.
Thou shalt not express opinion is the guise of fact.
Thou shall openly accept that not everyone agrees on the root of this subject.
Thou shall have fun with this.
No one really cares about anything but their own beliefs.
.

Enjoy!

The Loch Ness Giant Salamander

Loch Ness is credited by many to be the home of an unidentified species of large, yet highly elusive and rarely seen aquatic animals. Every creature on Earth is connected through evolution to every other. There is, in the end, only a limited number of possibilities as to Nessie's place on the family tree. Herein we take one view, proposing that the most parsimonious explanation for the mystery in Loch Ness is that it is home to a rare and as yet unnamed species of Giant Salamander.

You know, the lake monster "Caddy" really does look like a giant neotenic gilled salamander...

    Dear All, I would appreciate some help identifying P. waltl disease and treatment. We received newts from Europe early November and a few maybe 3/70 had what it looked like lesions under the legs- at that time we thought maybe it was the stress of travel- now we think they probably had "red leg syndrome" (see picture). However a few weeks later other newts started to develop skin lesions (picture enclosed). The sender recommended to use sulfamerazine and we have treated them 2x and we are not sure they are all recovering. Does anyone have any experience with P. waltl diseases and could give some input on this? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
