(Also <A HREF="http://other95.blogspot.com/search?q=earwigs" REL="nofollow">earwigs...<I>shudder</I></A>)<BR/><BR/>And no, nothing in this world is <I>required</I> to be aesthetically appreciable to me or any other person, it's just that there are so few species I have been exposed to for which I find so little to appreciate except the broad ideas of biodiversity and evolution.Eric Heupelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18327896268176961009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4516432143173419194.post-7083855225249752652008-09-14T19:31:00.000-04:002008-09-14T19:31:00.000-04:00Evolution didn't create anything for us to be fond...Evolution didn't create anything for us to be fond of or to be disgusted with.<BR/><BR/>How come they didn't include the rabbits in the list?
