Kind of OT, but does anyone know if flying squirrels are threatened or endangered in the U.S.? I remember seeing them all the time when I was a kid in Omaha, Nebraska, but now I don't see them anywhere: Not in Nebraska, Iowa, Colorado, Wyoming, New York, Florida, or any of the other places I've visited or lived in over the past couple of decades. When I was but a wee lad I used to watch them soaring among the trees in my neighborhood for hours at a time. Cool as shit.

According to wikipedia, neither of the two species of flying squirrel in this country are endangered. I've similarly noticed that there don't seem to be many butterflies around anymore. Not a day went by that I didn't see at least one when I was a kid. Now I haven't seen one in years.

Notice he had to use christmas jesus tree ornaments to do his little experiment! so his experiment wouldn't have worked if it weren't for christmas! christmas wouldn't have happened if it weren't for christianity! Christianity wouldn't have happened if it weren't for jesus! the experiment works therefore jesus works therefore creationism works and is true! Oh man Dawkins just owned himself totally...

^ HE USED THE CHEWBACCA DEFENCE!

You know you can't jerk off without opposable thumbs, right?

But you CAN do something even more awesome with a few missing ribs!
