DUCK PHOTO

Many of my friends have told me that all they ever get from me are dirty jokes and pictures.

To change your minds, I wanted to send you this picture of a duck. I have been told it is pretty good as duck pictures go .

So, I'm sending it to you knowing that a lot of you are sportsmen and will appreciate this

I think it's a Mallard

2-MILLION YEAR OLD MAN / APE mixture

Scientists are still trying to prove evolution is a fact while ignoring the obvious. Obviously Earth has been reseeded many times after each of six different extinctions. Evolution cannot account for the diversity of the 30-million or so different species we now have.  There were probably more like 40-million species dropped off on Earth after the flood. Since the time of Noah many of them have become extinct.  We have been looked after, nurtured and watched ever since...

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - A 2 million-year-old ancestor of man had a mixture of ape and human-like features that allowed it to hike vast distances on two legs with as much ease as it could scurry up trees, according to research published on Friday.

Discovered in cave near Johannesburg in 2008, the fossils of a species named "Australopithecus sediba" have given researchers clues about the evolution of man and which traits in our ancestors fell by the wayside.

Standing about 1.3 meters (4 ft) tall, sediba had a narrow rib cage similar to apes but a flexible spine more similar to that of a human. Its long arms and powerful torso helped in climbing, according to the research published in the journal Science.

Sediba's small heel resembled a chimpanzee's and it walked with an inward rotation of the knee and hip on slightly twisted feet with a flat-footed gait that would have helped it cover ground, the researchers said.

"It is the perfect compromise of something that has the need to walk on the ground efficiently for long distances. At the same time, it is a very capable climber," said Lee Berger, project leader at the Wits Evolutionary Studies Institute in South Africa.

The researchers plan further studies to see how these fossils of early human relatives known as hominin compare to other remains, to help put together the pieces of evolution.

"We have more complete specimens of fossils than for any other early hominin species that has ever been discovered. What this means is that we can make assessments of the anatomy and behavior of this species with a great deal of confidence," Berger told Reuters.

How to wash a cat...

Some of you have heard this, but pass it on to those who need a good laugh !!!!!!!


How to Wash a Cat

Go into the bathroom and put both lids of the toilet up
Add 1/8 cup of pet shampoo to water in the bowl
Pick up the cat - soothe him while you carry him toward the bathroom
In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close the lid.
You may need to stand on the lid.
At this point the cat will self agitate and make ample suds.
Never mind the noise that comes from the toilet, the cat is actually enjoying this!!!!!!
Flush the toilet 3-4 times.
This provides a "Power-Wash & Rinse"
Have someone open the front door of your home.
Be sure no one is in the path between the bathroom and the front door.
Stand well back behind the toilet as far as you can and quickly lift the lid.
The cat will rocket out of the toilet, streak through the bathroom and run outside
He will now dry himself.
Both your toilet and your cat will be sparkling clean.

Sincerely,
The Dog

GUNSHOT TO THE HEAD

Gunshot to the Head. Linda Burnett, 23, a resident of San Diego, was visiting her in-laws and while there went to a nearby supermarket to pick up some groceries. Later, her husband noticed her sitting in her car in the driveway with the windows rolled up and with her eyes closed, with both hands behind the back of her head. He became concerned and walked over to the car. He noticed that Linda's eyes were now open and she looked very strange. He asked her if she was okay, and Linda replied that she had been shot in the back of the head and had been holding her brains in for over an hour.The husband called the paramedics, who broke into the car because the doors were locked and Linda refused to remove her hands from her head.When they finally got in, they found that Linda had a wad of bread dough on the back of her head. A Pillsbury biscuit canister had exploded from the heat, making a loud noise that sounded like a gunshot, and the wad of dough hit her in the back of her head. When she reached back to find out what it was, she felt the dough and thought it was her brains. She initially passed out, but quickly recovered.Linda is a blonde, a Democrat, and an Obama supporter, but that could all be a coincidence.The defective biscuit canister was analyzed and the expiration date was from 2008.  SO..., it was determined to be Bush's fault.
