My tongue still feels weird

Can't wait for my tastebuds to grow back.

Must write about ants dammit.

Had a thought today, really totally irrelevant to anything, I think it came about from me thinking of the ol' "Land Rights for Gay Whales" slogan.. And here it is.

Open letter to the aboriginal community of Australia

I can understand having a sacred site. But, why, whenever there is a decrepit building somewhere that should be pulled down or restored, do you scream "sacred site" and forbid anyone to touch it? Like the Brewery and the Midland Inn. I mean, the little shits that commit all the crimes and give the race a bad name... It just makes it look like maybe the pub was a sacred site, which really doesn't look good. How can something built by a white person within the last century or less be a sacred site?? And why do they only suddenly become sacred when the building on them gets burned down or something? You should be able to understand why most people get so pissed off over the scream of "sacred site" whenever something like this comes up. I can understand a waterfall in the Kimberly or part of the Swan River or a lake or a hill or a cave or something being a sacred site. But a burnt out shell of an old pub? I don't get it.

And the two blokes I got stuck with for the labs. They turned out okay I guess. The older guy is still awkward, you try to explain some experimental procedure that makes perfect sense and he doesn't understand or thinks it's wrong. gah. As for the other bloke, he's actually kinda interesting once you get to know him, just the way he speaks gives a bad first impression.

Okay, I MUST write about these bloody ants.

Evolution again - this weeks episode - Extinction

One thing to say
Humans suck.

But I do have faith that nature will prevail in the end.

Biological controls are great, if you are able to find a predator that feeds solely on the pest species, then once the pest species is controlled the biological control also dies down.

Unfortunately things aren't usually that ecologically simple. It's barely ever a food chain, it's a web. One animal eats many below it, and they eat many plants below them, and each is eaten by many animals. So finding a specific biological control is near on impossible for most of the pests we've spread around the world.

And then there's cats, gee, what DOES eat them in the wild?? NOTHING! I mean heck, domestic cats aren't even a SPECIES in the wild. Top carnivores like cats, that are beautifully adapted to cope with pretty much any conditions are pretty much impossible to get rid of once they're established. :(

If things do keep going the way they are the world will probably consist of nothing but humans, rats, domestic cats, cockroaches and pigeons.
