Nice idea. I'll host it if you want.

Oh... that's a very cheap shot. Featuring, of course, Denyse "talking thru my hat" O'Leary.

Hi, I know vestigial organs have been discussed many times, but I have a few questions about tails. First, the "evidence for macro-evolution" paper mentions a case of vestigial tail that has bones, not only muscles and nerves. But I think there is no source for that. I'd love to get my hand on...

Midichlorians are probably inspired from mitochondria, which may have evolved independantly.
