With regard to the blah, blah category...If you're going to poke fun,
then so will I...and I'm quoting from your post below, "No where does
Darwin ever use the phrase suvival of the fittest".... I'm sure he
didn't use it as the word is survival not suvival. But I will chalk
that up to the fast finger typing syndrome that we all sometimes fall
prey to. (And probably takes place in this e-mail) Of course, he did
not use the phrase as it was coined later in relation to his
groundbreaking working and his observations from areas like the
Galapogos Islands and his work on the HMS Beagle. But since the
phrase has become synonymous with his work, I used it with poetic
license. Now I must return to analyzing the remants of the Big Bang
that created the Universe. Although you may not believe in the Big
Bang Theory, there were two scientests who decades ago discoverd what
is purported to be the remnants of the Big Bang. Of course I'm
referring to Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation. Its discovery
was made at the former Bell Labs site in Holmdel NJ that they worked
at. A quick google search would reveal the 2 scientests and the
frequency of the radiation if you are so inclined to check. -John
