It may select any of the several debates with creationists.

It may increase its chances by surrounding itself with people of its own calibre. Perhaps it might find some success if it would loiter in Waffle House restrooms or in alleys behind peep shows.

A lesion **here** would most likely produce:

A. Loss of proprioception in the ipsilateral lower limb.  
B. Chromatolysis of neurons in the VPL nucleus of the thalamus.  
C. Dysdiadochokinesis in the right upper extremity.  
D. Tom Green

We suspect that that would be the cerebellum, inasmuch as a cerebellar cortex lesion results in ataxia on the same side as the lesion. Dysdiadochokinesis and dysrhythmokinesis are commonly observed in diseases of the cerebellar hemisphere, and are typically ipsilateral to the side of the pathology. Naturally, significant cell damage in the ventral posterolateral thalamus might likely result from any infarction or damage in the cerebellum. And everyone knows that Tom Green has a hole in its head.

Why did [this linked thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=95144), which – as my only bookmarked thread – had become part of my morning routine, die?

Tough beans, J.R. 😃 Why wouldst thou think that we are interested in thy petty grammar rules?

Incidentally, is it necessary to use archaic grammar in order to employ the second person singular pronoun? (Not that we care, except that it impresses our petty minions. 🆒 )
