And if it's not a coincidence, whose joke is it?"<br /><br />I think it must be Terry Pratchett's joke, because his Death describes humans as “the place where the Falling Angel meets the Rising Ape” - Charles Darwin is the perfect illustration of this principle!Molly Blue Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08244200139218259143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14524408.post-26830600253027033182011-05-18T15:43:42.210+01:002011-05-18T15:43:42.210+01:00Blaze teenpornsearch.org movie watch.Blaze <a href="http://www.teenpornsearch.org/" title="teenpornsearch.org" rel="nofollow">teenpornsearch.org</a> movie watch.hakan altanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09949805075299293022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14524408.post-82100600038275736502009-12-03T15:54:15.037+00:002009-12-03T15:54:15.037+00:00Another fine game by the purveyor here.

A few of my own unsorted thoughts:<br /><br />Facial recognition is ridiculously good: we can identify or distinguish many times more faces than our average prehistoric ancestor would have seen in a lifetime. <br /><br />Cosmetic surgery will make this game much more difficult for future generations. <br /><br />Marx must have thought that a 3/4 left view was his "good side."<br /><br />I'm glad to see you're doing your part to gin up Christmas fever around here. <br /><br />rifflerifflehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09166475012791861563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14524408.post-82445157389660087842009-12-03T14:50:06.719+00:002009-12-03T14:50:06.719+00:00Ooooh…I thought your face was vaguely familiar, bu...Ooooh…I thought your face was vaguely familiar, but I couldn’t quite place you – now I know where I’ve seen you before: performing a tango sequence in Miranda. Plus 2000 years of devout iconography.<br /><br />As for overlapping lives, you’re correct to propose there are people still alive who knew Alice Liddell. I’m an Oxford tour guide, and when I once recounted the peculiar eccentricities of Christ Church that had inspired some of Charles Dodgson’s famous creations, an elderly lady informed the group that, as a small child, she had lived almost next door to the real Alice in the New Forest – which I assume would have been around the early 1930s(?).Richard O.

And a gem of useless info for you all (the sort of thing that fills my brain unfortunately); Darwin’s daughter is buried at Malvern Priory, should you wish to visit sometime!<br />Speaking of God, thanks to “Him” for men like Cary Grant! Gives hope to us all in old age (although I have a while yet)! Are there any (famous) men around now that will still look so handsome in old age (and in geek glasses).... Jude Law (probably not); Hugh Jackman (maybe); David Beckham (certainly not - but then I don't rate him now). Perhaps Cary Grant had a punishing moisturising regime! <br />As for Karl Marx... He always had BIG hair, and then later.... A BIG BEARD! And a big coat.<br />John, just a quick question; where is the Kangaroo in your last supper photo?Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12107693509682082812noreply@blogger.com
