Random Thought for Thursday 1/10/13

Science was never my strong suit, but I do think I have a basic understanding of the way that evolution helps a species adapt.

Upon learning that HoneyBooBoo's sister's newborn had an extra thumb, my first thought was that biology is catching up with Generation Text and that she represents the cutting edge of the evolutionary process, with the biological body adapting to our modern "needs".

It happened to moles (see story below), so it could happen to us, right?  Just imagine how fast the next generation of kids will be able to text!  Science is at work all around us!!

IT'S THAT GENERATION ...:

... AS REPRESENTED BY THIS BIRTH ...:
