do the Sikhs count? or the Parsis?

personally, I prefer Calls For Cthulhu: http://youtu.be/-DsgZ4JXXB8

very tempted to ask if the Doctor gave it to the UK when he retired/retires. oh, nevermind - thought you said "of course it is bigger now than it would have been in the past".

the Pharoah survived to get home. that makes the sacrifice of soldiers worthwhile (I've heard that argument to explain it) seriously, though, because the Hittites claimed victory at Kadesh, that actually caused infighting among the royals in Hattusha - leading to the end of Hittite...

Queen Victoria is in a better mood longer? more royal daughters to marry off? Victoria becomes Empress Of Ireland?

hm. I always thought that musth was related in some way to the cycles that male humans go through (women aren't the only ones - just the more noticable) ...and like elephants, mens' cycles aren't synched up with womens'.

I thought we were discussing physical appearance and form...and then you said that about "dehumanizing"...which is the ethics' humane instead.

snakes and scorpions can easily reach our feet and legs. (and if you're looking for food, they can get your hands and face) no reason it can't be in the torso -- our skull makes birth very difficult. we could do them better with a tail.

electrodes attached to the brain? earrings? bipedalism? other than that, its a very good picture. two examples: Bird = woman (UK), feathered animal (American) Boot = back of the car (UK), heavy shoes (American) Tuck = to eat (Australian), fold (American "to tuck in the kids for bed")...

which explains why Coconut Crabs look exactly like monkeys - because they inhabit the same ecological niche. you don't need to be humane to be human. that was my point: that the two are not the same thing.

no, it would still end with them in control of the planet.* if they have the time to travel to our solar system, then they would have the time to be able to repair our planet (whether or not humans survived) and if worlds with life are rare (or even moderately uncommon), that's all the more...

*hippy-esque voice* "and who can put a price on how much it costs to reach these cosmic teachers of simplicity?" thank you.

the epics of Homer were transmitted orally, as were vast chunks of the Bible and the Quran. but I'm a fair bloke, so I'll answer your question with English: "I tossed the bird to the boot. Later, I plan ta tuck in chips." (a written language is only as good as its readers - if you're...

so we'd be dealing with hippies, neo-primitivists, and survivalists? dear lord, the interstellar Burt Gummers. why would they have robo-slaves? Star Wars is not the only way to space.

read Linear B, and I'll believe you on that.:cool: pretty much any book on North America, the Ice Age, Mammoths, and the geologic era in question.

my "it should be able to withstand a bull elephant in musth" still applies. you know the phrase they made me see red ? that's a equivilent to a mild form of musth. you realize elephants can swim, right?

that's humane, a result of ethics. the species are human, a type of primate.

ideally, such things would be strong enough to withstand the assaults of male bull elephants in musth.

when predators get faster, their strength drops - so its better for large animals to get even bigger. you mean like the African Elephant's two fingers? they do....but the need doesn't arise much.

no they wouldn't. unless you have a radically different definition of "that matter." like, say, being tetrapods.
