OK, I am going to try this without sarcasm

Stay Curious
Let's see if I can do it! I am as curious and skeptical as you are.

Today's quote from A.Word.A.Day:

I learn that ten percent of all the world's species are parasitic insects. It is hard to believe. What if you were an inventor, and you made ten percent of your inventions in such a way that they could only work by harnessing, disfiguring, or totally destroying the other ninety percent?
 -Annie Dillard, author (b. 30 Apr 1945)

Apparently there is such and inventor: Mother Nature aka natural selection working with spontaneous mutations on a really vast time scale.

I think this casts the tree-huggers, earth-firsters, and pagans in a whole new light! Those are some BAD ASS dudes!

Yeah, I failed.
