    I'm waiting for Origin of Species II; the Sequel.

    That's where the humans become monkeys.

    Anyway I think you meant 'Descent of Man'.

      I haven't read either so you are probably right.

        Fascinating when you reflact that Darwin didn't have genetics to give him an obvious mechanism for evolution.

          I think the OP should be looking at something like Beano or something that is at a more appropriate level.

              Well, you don't like wordy newspapers, you don't like reading books, you don't want to spend a pound a day.

              How about some crayons and a bumper colouring book?

                I said I didn't like the Times because of the article, and I said I don't like reading books unless I learn something from them (i.e. technical books), just because I don't want to read Gok Wan or Cheryl Cole's latest Autobiography, like you guys do, doesn't mean im dumb, in fact the opposite.

                  I'm a left wing, tree hugging, lentil muncher, a beeding heart namby pamby wishy washy airy fairy hand wringing fckwit. Can I get away with reading the Telegraph? A damn fine bourgeois running dog Tory rag IMHO.
                  As you're a lentil muncher, you are permitted the Torygraph.

                  And the Independant? (Does it exist any more?).

                  Hacker: Don't tell me about the press. I know exactly who reads the papers:
                  The Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country;
                  The Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country;
                  The Times is read by the people who actually do run the country;
                  The Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country;
                  The Financial Times is read by people who own the country;
                  The Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by another country;
                  And The Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it is.
                  Sir Humphrey: Prime Minister, what about the people who read The Sun?
                  Bernard: Sun readers don't care who runs the country, as long as she's got big tits.

                      No I think you're very dumb, cretinous in fact, since you don't seem to think that you can learn anything from serious literature.
                      I recommend Viz for someone at your intellectual level.
