Are female moths called myths?


Female unicorns actually.

[SIZE=+6] The Unicorn in the Garden[/SIZE]

[SIZE=+3]by James Thurber[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]reprinted from
Fables For Our Time
[/SIZE] [SIZE=+1] Once upon a sunny morning a man who sat in a breakfast nook looked up from his scrambled eggs to see a white unicorn with a golden horn quietly cropping the roses in the garden. The man went up to the bedroom where his wife was still asleep and woke her. "There's a unicorn in the garden," he said. "Eating roses." She opened one unfriendly eye and looked at him. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]"The unicorn is a mythical beast," she said, and turned her back on him. The man walked slowly downstairs and out into the garden. The unicorn was still there; now he was browsing among the tulips. "Here, unicorn," said the man, and he pulled up a lily and gave it to him. The unicorn ate it gravely. With a high heart, because there was a unicorn in his garden, the man went upstairs and roused his wife again. "The unicorn," he said,"ate a lily." His wife sat up in bed and looked at him coldly. "You are a booby," she said, "and I am going to have you put in the booby-hatch." [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1] The man, who had never liked the words "booby" and "booby-hatch," and who liked them even less on a shining morning when there was a unicorn in the garden, thought for a moment. "We'll see about that," he said. He walked over to the door. "He has a golden horn in the middle of his forehead," he told her. Then he went back to the garden to watch the unicorn; but the unicorn had gone away. The man sat down among the roses and went to sleep. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1] As soon as the husband had gone out of the house, the wife got up and dressed as fast as she could. She was very excited and there was a gloat in her eye. She telephoned the police and she telephoned a psychiatrist; she told them to hurry to her house and bring a strait-jacket. When the police and the psychiatrist arrived they sat down in chairs and looked at her, with great interest. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1] "My husband," she said, "saw a unicorn this morning." The police looked at the psychiatrist and the psychiatrist looked at the police. "He told me it ate a lilly," she said. The psychiatrist looked at the police and the police looked at the psychiatrist. "He told me it had a golden horn in the middle of its forehead," she said. At a solemn signal from the psychiatrist, the police leaped from their chairs and seized the wife. They had a hard time subduing her, for she put up a terrific struggle, but they finally subdued her. Just as they got her into the strait-jacket, the husband came back into the house. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1] "Did you tell your wife you saw a unicorn?" asked the police. "Of course not," said the husband. "The unicorn is a mythical beast." "That's all I wanted to know," said the psychiatrist. "Take her away. I'm sorry, sir, but your wife is as crazy as a jaybird." [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1] So they took her away, cursing and screaming, and shut her up in an institution. The husband lived happily ever after. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1] Moral: Don't count your boobies until they are hatched. [/SIZE]

One day an elephant got loose from the zoo. It got into Mrs. Johnson's garden and started eating the flowers. Mrs. Johnson had never seen an elephant before. She called the police. "You have to help me, there is a strange animal in my backyard picking tulips with its tail." The policeman asked, "then what is it doing?" Mrs Johnson replied, "You wouldn't believe me if I told you!"

Reminds me of the story of the bug and the cow:


One day while crawling in the grass, a bug got eaten by a cow!

It was warm and dark inside the cow, so, the bug went to sleep.

When the bug woke up, it was still warm and dark, but the cow was gone!

...have ever read a science textbook? I'm curious.


(I don' t refer to "Darwin's Black Box" or Chick tracts, I am talking about books with titles like "An Introduction to Physics" or "General Biology". )


Oh, yes, I love the pictures!!

Life 4th edition, the text book for my Biology 101 class. What is most interesting about the is that nothing in it has the slightest thing to do with what is discussed on these boards. Mostly because Darwinians are into shallow rhetoric and fallacious arguments of science, falsely so called.

Now I have read 'Darwin's Black Box', when I went to buy it at the bookstore I couldn't find it. It wasn't in Philosophy or Religion but the clerk looked it up and found it in the Biology section. I chuckled about that all the way home, of course it was in the Biology section.

"Darwinians" funny. Like there even is such a thing. No telling how they might act if there were any.

this is funnier: (regarding shallow, fallacious, and matters of falsely..)

Researchers have found the first reported chimpanzee fossils in Kenya's Rift Valley, providing the first physical evidence that chimpanzees coexisted with early human ancestors......

And your conclusion from all the data....

"Everytime (sic) and (sic) chimp skull is found it is immediately celebrated as a human ancestor"
That's how the same evidence yields different conclusions.

You really have no idea what your talking about do you? Darwinism was blended with the emerging science of genetics back in the early decades of the 20th century, it's also know as the Modern Synthesis. Richard Dawkins, Louis Leaky, Ernst Myer were Darwinians.

this is funnier: (regarding shallow, fallacious, and matters of falsely..)

Childish mockery in the defense of science, that would be funny if it were not such an intellectually atrophy.


Yea, I tell you that every time a chimpanzee skull is unearthed in Africa it's automatically one of our ancestors. You keep spamming this article about three maybe four teeth and no skull.

So have you ever read a Biology textbook? Do you read the peer reviewed scientific literature, books on creationism, evolution or biology, anything remotely scientific or substantive.

Better yet, do you read anything? Stephen King, Dr Seuss? Anything?

Have a nice day

Key word: were. We're no more 'Darwinians' than we are 'Guthians' - we ascribe to the modern incarnations of Darwin's original idea, of Guth's original idea, etc.

Childish mockery in the defense of science, that would be funny if it were not such an intellectually atrophy.
And yet, you were the one to childishly mock 'Darwinians' ("Mostly because Darwinians are into shallow rhetoric and fallacious arguments of science, falsely so called") - as if that ad homeniem has anything to do with the veracity of common descent. Frankly, I expected more from you.

What's this, more childish mockery and belittlement? I'm sure Christ is simply loving your Christian attitude to your fellow man.

There are actually. Darwinians are those who subscribe to Darwin's theory of common descent through random mutation and natural selection.

Technically, it isnt belittlement. He doesnt have the capacity to successfully belittle me.

Crude and off point, it only says something about the person trying to do it.

Seriously?

does it need explaining?


No, I thought you explained YOURSELF quite well, but I don't think you realize that you did so. Of course, you'll have to go back and read your own posts. No offense, though. It's just funny that when we point at others we have three more fingers pointing right back at ourselves.

Don't know about you, but when I tend to point I've got 1 Finger & one thumb Pointing Forward, 3 Fingers curled And the Tips would be "Pointing" to the right, but None of the fingers are pointed back at me.
