Thought Tweet #893

by Rick Baker
On Dec 18, 2013

Thought Tweet #893 Why did Evolution deny human ears the privilege of showing us when they are actually operating?

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Our eyes fare better.

Even our mouths, which cause us so much trouble, fare better.

This helps us understand why dogs are Mans' Best Friend.

Thought Tweet #871

by Rick Baker
On Nov 18, 2013

Thought Tweet #871 In pre-historic times people who didn't listen got eaten...now they are able to roam the streets and work in offices.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Could it be 21st Century predators are a forgiving lot of creatures?

Could it be Darwin was wrong?

...survival of the fittest? ... or was it survival of the most adaptable? ... or is it survival of the least able to listen?

Assuming evolution is an accurate theory - and I'm not so sure about that any more - How many generations will it take for human ears to shrink and disappear through lack of use?

Thought Tweet #866 The only reason you are not a donkey is that your mother and father were not donkeys.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

  1. "The only reason you are not a rattlesnake is that your mother and father were not rattlesnakes." Dale Carnegie, 'How to Win Friends and Influence People', (1939 - Toronto publication)
  2. Don't judge too harshly. Don't judge too quickly. Don't judge.
  3. ...in search of political correctness...Sure hope no donkeys are reading this.
