In the "Similar Threads" feature at the bottom of the page are three listings for Harvard Classics Volume 11 (in three formats LRF, PRC, and IMP) which contains Charles Darwin's Origin of the Species as well as the stand alone version of the same book in LRF.

I do find it to be a gross miscarriage of justice that "Hippo" was not included among the choices.

Your appreciation of zoology is pretty limited there pshrynk.

I am grizzly bear, from my scout totem name "Interested Grizzly". Contrary to beliefs, I love peace. But if challenged...

No, seriously:

That's a great idea! Everything in the game is already electronic, so an ebook store would sell a virtual reality ebook reader as well as vr ebooks.

Oh, god, that was a good laugh.

note the suspicious proximity to the only MR member who explicitly *claims* not to be a hedgehog....

yep. you and the hedgehogs.

this survey is fundamentally flawed. it turns out the question of species is significantly more complex than that of gender (which can usually be englobed using fewer than 20 choices).


ps. hi Planet Head ! so glad you're back ! we missed you !
