    Anybody have any recipes for cooking one of these?

    Just use one of your elephant recipes, and reduce the cooking times accordingly. I'd have thought that would be obvious, to be honest.

    How do you *know* they were there? God just put them there and then they were discovered. And we weren't "lucky" to have discovered it, it was in God's plan, do you not realise that if God didn't want us to have discovered it, it would have made it invisible. Just like the invisible pink unicorns.

    WOW god sure plans ahead doesnt he. :rolleyes:

    We should exterminate it now, now I say.

    300,000,000 years ago another shrew was discovered who had also survived a series of global extinction events, that shrew went on the produce the race of people populating this planet today.

    Seriously, you think those little fellas were just running around Western Africa for years and nobody noticed? Really?

    You're being tricked by the Mercator projection (to paraphrase the late Michael Crichton). Africa is a really big place. Congo alone is bigger than Greenland.

    The Namib desert is almost as large as the island of Ireland. Good luck finding anything in that barren wasteland, much less an animal that weighs one ounce and is the colour of its surroundings.

    I'd find it easy if the BABY JESUS wanted it found!

    Clearly this thing only popped into existence last week sometime. That's the only rational explanation.

    God clearly created this for the pet trade. It's small enough to fit in a persons hand and be petted so therefore god created it for humans.

    Discovered now because it was made by god now.

    A horrendously ridiculous statement, as this shrew has been identified as being genetically close to the Elephant, this species is millions of years old.

    It obviously was very successful we enjoyed millions and million of Elephants over the millennia, as was the intention of this creation from the beginning, it swarmed the earth and began to compete with itself so it grew and dominated and then the other shrew when into decline.

    Just as the shrew that made us 3 hundred million years ago, that shrew is still around and poised to make us again if conditions return.

    That's pretty much the facts, God has no hand in the matter any more and has not had for hundreds of billions of years.

    Maybe it was an elephant that displeased god so he turned it into a shrew? Like how he punished the tyrannosaurus rex by turning it into a chicken.

    Some say it's the chicken and egg, but the egg came first, the shrew was there before the elephant.

    And God knew that if he allowed the shrew carrying our genes to progress, we'd need plenty of Kentucky Fried Chicken so that was a really clever move, smart biy that god, how many chickens can one make from just one T-Rex.

    Mad stuff altogether.

    Even for after hours the logic in some of the posts here are ridicolous. If a herd of 1000 elephants suddenly populated the phoenix park you might be on to something but. A nearly discovered rodent like proves one thing and one thing only: A newly discovered rodent like creature has been discovered.

    No, there's a second thing.

    A newly discovered rodent like creature has been discovered.

    We are back 45 years to my darkroom and I tell the class the chemical reactions that takes place and the correct mixture of the chemicals and that the temperature is then vital, especially for the film developing as we cannot see it happening so we must control it perfectly.

    Anyway in the darkroom the film developing goes without question and we dry the film and cut a negative strip and put it in the enlarger and project the negative image onto a focusing frame and then we switch to red light and place a live sheet of photographic paper in the frame and expose the paper to the enlarger light for a few seconds.

    We then move the paper to the developer tray and swish it around and an image starts to appear, as expected, "A Wizard goes a shout, A Wizard, A Wizard"

    One of my pupils thought it was magic and he convinced the whole school that I was a Wizard, and I had a following in my last year that was embarrassing, I could no longer teach the class, they just wanted more magic.

    And I was just a fellow student doing photography as an extra curriculum subject and using my own gear as the school's darkroom was a closet.

    Interesting analogy. Wonder what parents reaction would be if a teacher suggested locking himself in a closet with a class of school kids. Surely the kids had seen photos before.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,124 ✭✭✭jonon9


    We can beat around the bush for years to come but the fact of the matter is what ever science discovers you will have the fanatics there saying yes it was gods work. The day life is truly found on another planet will be a day for the history books but than again the Bible will be republished with an extra article on how god created life elsewhere. Creationism a one trick pony.

    As they say Science is a question of "Why". Religion is "What I say goes"

    I had my own darkroom off campus, it was a secondary school and fifth class or above, so no 'children' in those days, class was eight or ten.

    1970 was the date, Moon Landing only months ago ~ yes, you'd think.

    The school's darkroom was a closet and only suitable for one, so not suitable to actually teach anything. This had been a very progressive school for the sciences in the recent past, but by the time I was a sixth year, it was dormant.

    It was extracurricular too. But we did have two teachers overseeing everything.

    Fair enough. Wonder if there are any out there in ireland still with their own dark room. Don't people use red lights of some description for that.

    Religion keeps moving the goal posts whenever it gets shown to be the ridiculous ****e that it is.

    If there was any other aspect of life/society that flip flopped that much no one would pay it any heed at this stage.

    St John's College Cork, they have some of my previously owned equipment and they still develop film and make prints.

    Remember, my story is in the past, 44 years ago. I showed the science, I was teaching the science and the procedure and yet one student thought it was magic.

    And I was 17 years of age, as he was, I was a fellow student, but howsanever.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,075 ✭✭✭IamtheWalrus


    Na, a mouse climbed into an elephant and had a ****. If an elephant shagged a mouse he'd tear it to a million pieces.

    We don't usually get banless treats like this, it's like Atheists's Heaven, and we might even actually really see a side we even did not believe existed, so we are grateful for the poster too as much as we may look on in dismay, some do actually believe, I say it's forewarning that we need to facilite these people appropriately in mental health institutions, and it is a real problem.

    But Wait - There's More! First Scientific Proof Of God Found:
    The Language in the “Junk DNA”, the DNA that scientists had for years discarded as useless, was indistinguishable from ancient Aramaic. Even more amazingly, as linguists started to translate the code within the human genome, they found that parts of the script it contained were at times remarkably close in composition to verse found in the bible. And at times contained direct biblical quotes.

    On the human gene PYGB, Phosporomylase Glycogen, a non-coding transposon, holds a linguistic sequence that translates as “At first break of day, God formed sky and land.” This bears a stunning similarity to Gen 1:1 “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.”

    Death has this much to be said for it:
    You don’t have to get out of bed for it.
    Wherever you happen to be
    They bring it to you—free.

    I like the use of assonance in your title, the triple D sound has the repetitive chatter of a Lewis gun, a wordy reminder on this fateful day when the poor Archduke was shot. Good use of the apostrophy too. Grammar to which you could set a clock.
