With apologies to Antonio Prohias.

Also, look what idiocy greeted us in the online version of the LA Times this mornin':

Testing Darwin's Teachers

LIBERTY, Mo. — Monday morning, Room 207: First day of a unit on the origins of life. Veteran biology teacher Al Frisby switches on the overhead projector and braces himself.

As his students rummage for their notebooks, Frisby introduces his central theme: Every creature on Earth has been shaped by random mutation and natural selection — in a word, by evolution.

"Isn't it true that mutations only make an animal weaker?" sophomore Chris Willett demands. " 'Cause I was watching one time on CNN and they mutated monkeys to see if they could get one to become human and they couldn't."

Frisby tries to explain that evolution takes millions of years, but Willett isn't listening. "I feel a tail growing!" he calls to his friends, drawing laughter.

Huh? If "mutations only make an animal weaker," why are we (including PRESIDENT BUSH) all terrified of Bird Flu mutating? Duh.

And what the hell program was this Willett kid watching on CNN? Anderson Cooper's 360 Mutated Monkey Hour? WTF?

Look, this isn't a "debate." This is some just moron disrupting class. Send the little idjit to the priciple's office until he learns to be respectful.
