First I thought you were just kidding until I read the article. What so-called Global Warming seems to be doing is shrinking the brains of them there scientists!!

It sounds like perfectly valid and scientific research. I just don't know why they're surprised. Natural selection isn't just about survival of the fittest. It's about who gets to reproduce and pass on their genes. More like survival of the lowest common denominator. Even the sheep are effected by the "Idiocracy Effect" just like humans.

So, I saw this thread thinking that I am not so sure I even want to look at a discussion about greybeard's shrinking wooly's. Yeah, it got to where I thought it would.
Ride On!
