And marsupials being inefficient to placentals is not some idealogy, it’s a simple fact. You obviously ignore mountains of evidence in favor of your equalitarian view of the natural world, which I think shows how poor you are as a biologist as you shape your opinions around your ideology. Considering his impressive credentials as an evolutionary biologist, his mastery of English was a bit incomplete. ---

[BLUE BLOOD IS BLACK BLOOD.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=544874) Bet you didn’t know that European royal families for the past few centuries were actually black!

Old school oddsters (DORRANCE STEEL HOOK!!!)–There was a poster who loved Engelbert Humperdink to distraction. Wildest Bill, my favorite odd duck to ever get banned. He was just to dumb to continue posting. But nowhere near as dumb as BZ00000 (or whatever his name was). His questions were so stupid, he was banned. Oh, oh! Who can forget Jack Dean Tyler shilling his Tug Ahoy circumcision reverser? Man, do I feel old. P.S., if any other old timer remembers the steel hook girl, please refresh my memory. Do you remember her handle? ---

> [@Randolph](#): > > **Ambivalid** , when he first appeared. Then he pretty quickly transformed into a valued poster. Turns out he is the son of my MIL’s best friend and I had actually met him once before. True story, small world. Kinda makes me wonder who else around here I know (that I don’t know I know - I’ve probably met 20 or 30 of you in person and many of you have become great friends IRL.)
