Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Wednesday, December 16, 2009

Slowly inching his segmented exoskeleton across the sea floor, a local marine arthropod, class Trilobita, reported that Earth's natural evolution was "progressing quite nicely."
"Things are looking mighty fine," announced the prehistoric invertebrate, taking measure of his surroundings through a series of small, hexagonal eyelets located at the tip of his thorax. "Sulfurous gas seems to be bubbling up to the surface pretty good, and several single-cell organisms appear to be mutating at a rather steady pace. Also, just today, I developed the ability to roll into a small protective shell in order to avoid predators."

Added the trilobite, "Yup, this evolution thing is going great."

I notice they didn't interview the vast mats of bacteria living during the Precambrian. If those photosynthetic organisms had capped and traded their oxygen emissions, they might still be around today.

As Zat says, happy extinction... though in this case it may be "happy evolution" instead.
