Living creatures - The exact same species of earthworm is found on the
tip of South America and the tip of South Africa. They travelled over
on the big raft we now call America.
I find your explanation hard to credit. For starters, can you back up
the earthworm claim?
The same "family" not "species" of earthworms are found in South
America as in
South Africa. This is consistent with the notion that South America
and Africa started
splitting in the upper Triassic, lower Cretaceous. 120-150 million
years ago.
-John
Presumably by "exact same" you mean "looks the same to an illiterate's
cursory glance". To an earthworm, you and chimps are
indistinguishable.
Kermit
Url.
There are three families of Oligochaeta common to South America and
Africa, and another family the distribution of which is disputed:

Have you interviewed the earthworm ?
You're a worm, what's your opinion?

You must know that John Harshman cannot ban you from here. Why would you
make such a silly claim?

Whatever.
Because you mentally retarded lying robotarded idiot, harshman is
robert golaszewski, when DIG died, "harshman" assumed
his identity.
Why do you think your lies on usenet will change reality?
Fuck you you dumbfucking mentally retarded govt agent asshole dipshit
fuckhead retard jerk asshole fuckface idiot fuckhead stupid
blockheaded fuckface asshole!@
Ah, so you're pleading insanity.
Boikat
I'm hoping that you are merely playing a paranoid fool for our
entertainment.
So because reality doesn't cut it for you, you claim that reality is
insanity becuase you lie here on usenet
and say so on usenet.
You govt idiots don't realize no court nor mental professional will
say I am crazy when they
can all see what is actually occuring dumbfucks!@
So the question becomes, why is the court allowing you to proceed with
that line of arguing, knowing full well
it leads no where and simply wastes time?
Where was there any "reality" in your post?

Too bad they probably are not insane, though. You, on the other

Probably because I'm not insane, like you.
Boikat
I expect after lying around for a month, deceased, humans and chimps
taste pretty much the same even to an earthworm gourmet.
Kermit
What you have done is made a claim.
For some reason to you, you feel that DIG is immortal.
I think you are delusional.
Obviously, DIG is mortal and subject to dying.
Secondly, if a case was being run by the govt to try and keep
knowledge of things
like that from me, they would have a govt agent assume his usenet
identity, and pretend everything
was hunky dory.
Now why would the govt do that?
So they can claim I am crazy, when everyone can see DIG is dead.
So anyone and everyone here can jump in and type on usenet like a
mentally retarded 3 or 5th grade
special ed remedial student "no he's not", but that won't make it
otherwise, nor bring
him back to life, mentally retarded shill
charlatan liars!
I never said that.

It's called "projection". Have your mental health care professional
explain it to you.

So your claim that I am crazy because I claim dig is dead, in reality
he can actually be dead, so
as far as possibilities go, it is possible.
So your objection is not that "that's impossible".
But do the worms play pinochle on your snout?
Why have you decided to use the name that God calls Himself in one
story?
To let you know who is helping me.
Duh.

3:14 And God said unto Moses ... Thus shalt thou say unto the children
of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
Now do you honestly want people to die so you can waste time arguing
your stupid comments?
Your god must have a sense of humor -- talking you into saying such
silly things.
He is a personal GOD, so yes he does.

I know the Bible story. I also know that the whole event did not happen.
You are really unhinged.
Then why did you waste time typing onto usenet such an asinine
statement?
I don't think you do know it at all.
> I also know that the whole event did not happen.
Another retarded comment.
How do you know it didn't happen, genius?
Is the court going to just sit there when I have won my case so they
can swill cough syrup
and type stupid things onto usenet to waste time?
So, He actually *talks* to you. Verbally. Voices in your head.
That sort of thing?

PS> I also notice that you are using a blasphemous handle. How
about telling us who you really are?
Well, gee, Michael, who peed in your Cheerios? Basically, you
made an absurd claim, but didn't have the wherewithall to do your
own footwork. Now you are abusive.
Basically the claim "that the earthworms of Africa and South
American are the same" is easily refuted. They are the same
family, but not the same genus or species.
from: http://www.earthlife.net/inverts/oligochaeta.html
"The Megascolecidae is a large family of often large worms found only
in the tropics. It is most well know because of its larger Australian
members such as Megascolides australis which may reach up to 3 metres
in length. Not all Megascolecidae are huge however, Microscolex dubius
from South America for instance seldom reaches more than 9cm (4 ins)
in length. Another Megascolecid Amynthas corticis, while slightly
larger with a maximum length of 17cm (6.5 in) is also interesting
because it is parthenogenetic (all females are asexual and give birth
to other females without a male) and because it can shed part of the
tail end of its body like a lizard to help it escape predators.
The Microchaetidae from south Africa are most well known because of
Microchaetus rappi, the longest worm in the world (6.7 metres) (22 ft)
which was found at the edge of a road. Most members of this family are
far smaller than this."
-John
Just in case you missed my post, its families not species.
Hope that clears up the confusion. :)
.
Why did you post? What were you trying to say? I thought you were trying
to advance the notion that Pangea was recent, using the evidence that
the same species of earthworm is found in two widely separated places.
Aside from dealing with all the independent evidence that Pangea went
away a good 180 million years ago, you would have to back up the
earthworm claim in order for your post to mean anything.

And I already addressed that. You think you can repeat yourself over

You want another do over, it is 5th grade recess time.
That's a good starting point.

Ask his family.
Now to be thorough, he may not be buried, as some people cremate and
spread the ashes in the ocean, etc.
I'm fine, actually. When was it I was supposed to have died?

Well I *was* going to ask why I banned you, but now I really don't feel

The question is, should I be consistent and ban you immediately, or

first for the entertainment value?

It wasn't really a poll... and NOT banning him is terribly arbitrary
of me.
--D.
He uses a lot of nyms, granted. But, I am not so sure he is doing it
to avoid killfiles, as much as just different personalities posting.
You won't be able to ban jackshit golaszewski, as you are going in
your cell.
And you are incredibly stupid to boot, as you know full well there
are programs that allow someone to forge any usenet header.
Well, according to my 2nd year epistemology prof, I'm entitled generally
to claim knowledge of my own mental state, and 'dead' is not as aspect
thereof.
So, who should we send copies of these articles to claiming that I
am dead, as evidence that you are likely insane, again?
As to forging USENET headers, you can examine the Path: header if nothing
else. Obviously any post I make comes from darwin here in Canada,
so all the posts on talk.origins you see should have identical Path
headers as they're ALL posted from darwin, since I post them, as moderator.
Again, I'd like to know *WHY* you think I'm dead. I haven't even been
unwell, nor in a car accident for a couple decades. As the concerned
party, I'd just like to know. Or if you don't feel like chatting I
can just ban you again.

Which part of 'program that can forge any usenet header' fell out of
your puny
brain, imbecile?
Why on earth should you hold yourself to consistent behavior?

Mitchell
I Googled for the name, and all I could find was some guy who advocates
cough medicine as a means of getting high? It sounds vile...
--D.
Ok, but articles have to be posted somewhere, and travel via
various hops from server to server, to you. So it's possible
to determine that all the posts from this group can only be injected
at one of the hops between darwin and wherever you're reading it.
Even a forged Path: header would stand out as it would not match
other paths on other systems. This would be trivial to crosscheck.
Of course if you assume the US government is somehow controlling
a UNIX machine in Canada where ALL posts are coming from, then
obviously they can inject any post they want into t.o seamlessly.
If you do find any posts with nonstandard Path: headers would you
please send them to my notice as it would, in fact, mean that someone
is forging the Approved: header on them, which would make me mad,
as Moderator only I can Approve: posts.
You do know you're clearly barking mad, right?

Far as I can tell, that's the guy. He's also apparently some kind of

Many themes and tropes. "Rollock" and "Golaszewski", for instance. And

That's considerably farther than mine takes me.
Great Dayne.
You need to use some imagination.
Why for Xmas dinner I opened a bottle of port (after dinner to
be precise) and my daughter said something about port tasting
like cough medicine. There's a twist of truth there, except
the port I opened was older than her (Graham's 30 year old,
a gift) and so perhaps better than she's had before.
We did finish the bottle and I advocate the same for others.
It was good medicine for this father, son and daughter
after Xmas dinner.
And since golaszewski is a government agent, that makes him THE
tyrant.
Now how many people want government tyrrany in this newsgroup?
You mean a basement troll.
