gmonkey42On the Comedy Goldmine "Dumb things overheard in class":
"If evolution is the truth, then you would have half dog half cat animals running around because they always live with each other."
I actually haven't seen that one before. It makes me wonder how the hell this person thinks evolution is supposed to work. Humans live with cats and dogs too, therefore wouldn't there also be freakish cat-dog-human hybrids running - or possibly lurching, zombie-like - around?
I want to put up a web site that explains what "evolution" actually means except I don't think it would make any difference. For a lot of people, it's not really about ignorance, it's about actively not wanting to know.
ETA Haha, here's another from the same page: "But how do you know for sure brontosauruses didn't eat people?"
Pff, because they were herbivores, duh!
