At some point you really do have to wake up and inhale the heady aromas of that freshly brewed coffea arabica.
Best evidence for evolution is the fossil record prediction that hippopotami and modern whales shared a common ancestor, Pakicetid, a jackal/cheetah/rat looking semi-aquatic animal - This was predicted 60 years before the genetic evidence not only confirmed it, but solidified the claim beyond reasonable doubt.

Mine perpetually needs inflating; I'm a writer. I saw my name on the neato least and now I feel like I can make it another day without pulling a Hemingway.
For all us non-wirters, pulling a Hemingway?
