In case anyone’s curious, that image of the genetically modified mice came from an old Forbes Magazine biotech article

People at work are staring at me funny cause I am laughing so hard over your latest podcast. What a great show. Is there a Mark from Memphis cult starting?
August 17th, 2005 at 1:02 pm
I like the idea of the M from M cult. Members would be required to only speak to one another via their cell phone.

Evo that would be one hell of a cell phone bill haha.
Will you be bringing your Terra cult T-shirts to Dragon Con? I would definitly pick one up if you do. Can I use beers as payment? heh

Hadn’t thought about schlepping the shirts at D*C, though it is an option.
Now… what sort of beer did you have in mind, and in what quantity?

Just wanted to point out that Godzilla has in the past been identified as female. Godzilla was known, for a while as Queen of the Monsters. Also, in Godzilla and son, Godzilla laid an egg from which the son came out.

I swear to God…I’m not obsessed!
*sigh* Oh, maybe I’m a little obsessed…
See if I try to help out ratings in the future. (*snicker-snicker-snicker*)

Psst… Dezz…
if all the Terranaries were using Verizon Wireless, all calls to each other would be free, no matter when they called or where they called each other from or to in North America (might only be the continental 48 states, but I’m not 100% sure about that).
I’m thinking the cult might look for sponsorship from Verizon Wireless, and start using Treos…
whoa… I just got a mental flash of a Global Frequency kind of thing, but with that Buckaroo Banzai always-expanding-to-absorb-new-members kind of flavor.

On the whole why we have to brush our teeth thing, you can see it all over humans. We don’t really need finger nails. They’re the leftovers of things we don’t need anymore. When we were still primitive mammals, finger nails were probably claws used for climbing, fighting, whatever. We don’t need claws anymore, technology oupaced it. We have swords, spears and guns to kill with now, we have all sorts of thing to help with climbing. We were covered in hair/fur once, fire and central heating made that unecessary. When you think about it, we don’t need teeth anymore. Science has reached a point we could, if we needed to, ingest all the nutrients and stuff we need to live in liquid form. That we need to take special care of our teeth to keep them probably means that, like fur and claws, they’re on the way out.

On the topic of brushing teeth. All other animals do in a way brush their teeth. I don’t know if this is 100% fact, but most animals chew on wood or grass to clean their teeth.

Did Michael really say the Piss-ass Mystic Ninjas? I had to listen to that a few times.
And Evo, I alos like hoppy beer (had a few dead guy ales) and I think it’s that hoppier beers are usually higher in alchol content (10% vs. 6%) and they are also heavier so they stick with you longer. Just my observation.

Hey Evo, any beer is good beer as long as it doesn’t say Bud and Weiser on the bottle. I usually drink Guiness or Sam Adams. I was thinking of sending you guys a “care package” with some Maine Ales in it, sometime in the future. We can brew some great stuff here.
Summer, you are absolutly correct about Verizon. I would have to break down and get a cell phone then.

Hey Snipes,
What do you mean we were covered in hair/fur once. You have obviously never seen me with my shirt off.

Well if we all evolved we wouldn’t have monkeys anymore, would we?

Teeth Brushing - Yes, I do brush my dog’s teeth. If we all actually ate whatever food we were supposed to, then we wouldn’t need to brush our teeth. I don’t know what the heck it is that we’re supposed to eat… but I know Burger King ain’t it.
Circumcision - Neither of my boys are snipped. They’ll be able to survive just fine.

Good job.
