My sad attempt at humour!
For billions of years, life on Earth evolved. And it continued to evolve, till "WE" arrived. There is no theory to prove the fact that we were to be the "final" end-product of evolution but, as there is no theory to disprove it, we can claim that all the forces in the Universe conspired to create us!
We now fly across continents, we eat well-cooked meats, we have multiplied in unbelievable numbers, we live in palatial houses- each house occupying ever increasing space, we employ others to do our biddings. We've explored more places on Earth than any other living being. Talk about our unbelievably, inquisitive nature.
We've seen our kids move away to far-off lands in search of better food and lifestyle, and more often than not, never to return. We've doubled our life expectancy (highly presumptuous!!!). We've created, successfully, disparity among the healthiest and the weakest. Sub-Saharan Africa provides the leanest pickings. There has been a rapid growth of population in what is now known as India and China. Looks like unclean environs help us grow!
The generation gaps have never been more distinct, with each successive generation adjusting to new rules, regulations and technology, leaving the laggers to their misery.
We've survived a couple of World Wars, and managed to scape unscathed, for the most part. Following this, we've largely resolved to maintain peace among the different races- the fair-skinned, the dark ones, the biggies and the little ones. We've lost count of how many races we have divided ourselves into.
We've proved to the world that while all around us keeps decaying, we are in prime health- and will continue to do so with the help of our two-legged slaves!

i don't see any humor in this, but then, my sense of humor has never been as developed as yours.
u seem to have forgotten than we seem to be the only species that kills its own for neither food nor real defense. if the universe was conspiring to get here, it doesn't seem to have been aiming particularly high, was it?
wait!!! was this supposed to be the "humor" referred to in the title? if so, i like it...
u busy reading Kafka by any chance?? dont stress your puny brains so much .....i can live with diabetes ..u sure will die of hypertension!!!! :DDD
@saik- read carefully....use those thick glasses of yours!!
@moi- funny you should ask, i did read Kafka recently!!is this prose Kafka style?? spooky that you should ask that!!! do u have a spycam on me???
Kafka style prose i believe!!!!! haha!!!u think u can match that guy's skills with this sad attempt at humour as u call it !!! :DDD
how much time does it take to read what's going on in a puny brain?????? :DDD
hope u are having a great wednesday coz I'm not!!!!
aaha!! ne conceern tagalada! naaku ekkada artham kaaledo ani anni emails aa? why do u care so much about whether i got it or not, what i think of it, etc? u shud be less insecure anurag! :D
as for the kafka discussion, i am going to plead ignorance and stay out of it.
"u seem to have forgotten than we seem to be the only species that kills its own for neither food nor real defense"
I read this elsewhere too. Some folks who're for animal welfare, I think.
I remember reading/watching a documentary that when a lion takes over another lion's pride, one of the first things he does is kill all the cubs (if any). Now this is not done in either in self defense or for food... it' *supposedly* done to bring the lionesses into heat. How many other species do this in the fauna-space, I dunno.
now that i am in a better mood, i shall explain why i brought Kafka in....have u read his Metamorphosis??? since u seem to have converted into "da roach" for a post....thats why i thought of Kafka......phew!!! :)
@ Moi- confusion abt Kafka; you refer to the author Kafka, I refer to the book Kafka! totally different dimensions...i absolve you of guilt- i take back my suspicion that you were watching me with a spycam!
@sai-k: I have always suffered from low confidence!! sad, but true! and, yes i like the way you kept our butt out where you were not required.
@moose- i though that the lion does that so that his off-spring develops, and not the off-spring of some other male. it helps the pride, as the new male has genes better suited for survival, if it did not, then it would not have won the battle to be the new alpha male. not sure of how common this is among other species.
Where be new posts?
Hibernating roach, wake up!!!
Gnu post, gnu! :D
Unfortunately... I'd deleted the blog by the time you changed the name.
BTW, macha, there's one yeggztra forward slash in the URL to my blog... (naught that it has any posts, anyway!)
Moose- sorry that your post had to be deleted.. Gunj's been making me feel guiltier...I use this public forum to publicly apologize... sorry!
Moi- My dear, homeless friend. Blog's updated.
