  1. HUMANS EVOLVED FROM PIGS - not from monkeys

    Charles Darwin was wrong -- humans evolved from pigs, not apes. And that explains the Biblical prohibition against consuming the flesh of our oinking relatives, according to a startling new theory.

    "It's hard to believe, but you and Porky Pig are kissing cousins," says genetic scientist Dr. Basil Hainwright of London.

    "Dim recollections of a time when we trotted on all fours and rolled in the mud with our family members probably survived into Neolithic times.

    "And so it is hardly surprising that dietary laws making taboo the eating of pork -- one step away from cannibalism -- found their way into the holiest texts of ancient man."

    Until modern-day DNA science came of age and researchers meticulously analyzed the specific genes of mankind and other creatures, it was widely assumed that humans and hogs were as distantly related as we look.

    But the latest research shows the two species are unbelievably close.

    "It turns out humans and pigs shared a common ancestor just 64 million years ago -- a blink of the eye in evolutionary terms," Dr. Hainwright says.

    "My research suggests that this creature looked far more like a pig than an ape. It walked on all fours, had an upturned snout and a small, curly tail.

    "If you saw it today, you would definitely identify it as a pig."

    The close relationship explains the many similarities between the species today:

    *Both are extremely intelligent.

    *Both are omnivores, eating meat as well as vegetables.

    *Both are highly adaptable, capable of gentle behavior in a protective environment, while capable of great aggression when forced to fend for themselves.

    "This also explains why pig organs are so successful in transplants into humans," explains Dr. Hainwright. "Not only are the genetic differences almost inconsequential, but the closeness of size and function of pig organs make them perfectly compatible with the human body.

    "Even the most primitive savages have noted the extraordinary resemblance: A name given by cannibals to human meat is 'long pig.'

    "And of course, in schools around the world, fetal pigs are chosen for dissection because they're virtually identical at a certain stage to an unborn human."

    While all this may sound creepy, Dr. Hainwright says it shouldn't cause us to abandon xenotransplantion, as the use of pig organs is known -- and he doesn't even believe we should give up our beloved bacon and pork chops.

    "At some point in evolution, our ancestors climbed out of the mud, began walking erect and started using tools," he explains.

    "Our less-ambitious cousins developed into the Middle-Eastern wild boar Sus scrofa, the ancestor of domesticated breeds of pigs now raised for food in Great Britain and the U.S.

    "While we may from time to time look at a pig struggling in its pen and honking in fear as it's taken to the slaughterhouse, and imagine ourselves in its place, the reality is evolution has led us quite far from our piggish ancestors."

  2. Well' date=' he has been touring with Pennywise for years... ;)

    I had earplugs in as my ears took a pounding at Graveheart the night before, and I can feel tinnitus creeping up on me. I thought the sound was banging, but admittedly when I took out the earplugs it did sound mostly like static :D

    I think you'll find that that was exactly the sound they were aiming for so a different venue would have made bugger all difference.[/quote']

    Aw I see, well at least i know i wasnt trippin then!

  3. Possible death of a social life!

    All i can say is that i hardly go out on the piss much as it is... but with a smokin ban in place i dont think ill be goin out much again, id sooner be sat at home on my arse bored of my very existance than end up having to speak to pea brained, hot tempered and pished people who think they have somethin in common with me coz i happened to be outside havin a fag at the same time they were.

    Its a good idea but personally speakin and perhaps selfishly so, i hope it doesnt last.

  4. White Noise Gallore

    I do not know any of alec empires music and after being at that gig i still dont, in other words i could hardly hear a thing as the sound engineering was well shit, that guy shouldve been sacked, all i could here was white noise, so with no disrespect to fans of mr empire or indeed mr empire himself i still think the sound quality was gash, and that those of you who were there and enjoyed it were either pished or just deaf to the madness of it all.

    For those of you who missed the gig, im sure you would be better going to one of his gigs in a different {better sounding} venue. :swearing:
