Odd Stuff (Part 1)

Makes me think of that other thread, where a doctor – say, an oncologist – might in fact need to understand evolution to practice medicine properly.

I have opted not to go into that part of that thread. Its true, you can be a functional doctor and reject evolution, but ffs, ignorance by choice is not a promising position to take.

Oh yes. Hedgehogs are unbelievable noisy when they’re at it. Quite the volume for such a small animal.

We’ve got them. Pretty scary in the fleisch, I can understand the original tweeter’s concern. However, the standard way of hunting them here is not with an assault rifle, but with big knives and badly-socialized dogs (or with bow-and-arrow during a short season). We have neighbors who hunt, sometimes when they drive home the pigs they’ve bagged are so big they spill out of their pickup bed. (Keep in mind this is downtown in a large cosmopolitan city, it would be like if the Chicago Bears were actual bears who hung out on Halsted Street. Except bears are less aggressive than feral hogs.)
