Are they also Satan's evil spawn? Or is it just gerbils? No, but I have a funny hamster story. When I was a kid, my friend invited me over to see his new hamster. He got it out of the cage and was petting it when it bit him. He said ouch, fuck, and threw him against the wall. That's been 30 years ago and I'm laughing as I type this. Brief loves a good squish story. Everyone is interested in the squish, it's just that most won't admit it. Ever tell someone you witnessed a car wreck, what's the first thing they ask? Yup, they want to know if anyone got squished. That is a fact there bro. :TOMABANEFOX: It's more humane this way ya know, or burn on totem pole. Choice is yours. |

He was sitting at an intersection. an 18 wheeler was blocking the intersection and a lady in a car doing her makeup and not paying attention was coming towards the intersection perpendicular do the truck. He said she went under the 18 wheeler, didn't even see it or slow down. Top half of her car got sheered off and he literally saw her head rolling down the street.

Nachos User ID: 57981812 Australia 05/17/2014 02:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Animals that big would have to eat a lot. This would mean that any dramatic change in the environments could be deadly for them. Less food to eat, means bad news for the big guys. Millions of years is a long time, and a long time for environments to change dramatically. Meaning more time for being big to no longer be an advantage and possibly a huge disadvantage which is where natural selection would take over. Last Edited by synapsid on 05/17/2014 02:01 PM |

There was more oxygen in the earth's early years so things grew far bigger than they are now •. Insects were huge as well. More oxygen means more energy for plants and trees and fruits to grow, so bigger herbivores mean carnivores can eat more too (aside from the obvious energy from high levels of oxygen).

Waterlily User ID: 57634456 United States 05/17/2014 02:38 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I just find it fascinating that animals really were that huge back then. But why not now? Was gravity much weaker then? WTF? Quoting: Desert Fox and if we were to take into account the theory presented by Immanuel Velikovsky and David Talbot, Saturn, Mars, and Venus were also much, much closer to the Earth back then. this would have had a much different gravitational pull on the earth and quite possibly allowed all things on earth to grow much larger. if you watch Symbols of an Alien Sky from the electric universe, there are some pretty good explanation of what the night sky would have looked like back then. I love that series. Wal Thornhill and the old Kronos crowd rock! Thanks for bringing that up. |

Watch this from 24 minutes in to around 28 minutes and it pretty much explains it, they build a bio-sphere which doubles the atmospheric pressure, increases electro magnetic energy, increasing oxygen etc to recreate the atmospheric conditions of the past and succeeded in creating giganhtism in Pirahana's. Its quite interesting. |
