   doctortoon, technically, that would be a migraine. When you don’t get the amount of caffeine that you are used to, your blood vessels dilate, causing a migraine, by definition.

   Oh my, lack of geographical knowledge may be the norm, but if you are traveling abroad, you should at least know where you are going.

   One very important part of discussing evolution is the distinction between macro evolution and micro evolution. Micro evolution is a well proven theory that is easily observable. It explains the small changes in a species that take place over long periods of time. An example would be the finches on the Galapagos islands. They have different beaks each suited specifically to eating different types of food during different hardships. Macro evolution is the theory that most creationists take issue with. An example would be the theory that a type of bat eventually deviated enough to become a bird. One common argument for the transitions to species to species is the similarity of the protein Cytochrome C, a chemical common to many organisms. Typically biology text books will show a highly selective example that demonstrates how the similarity of Cytochrome C in humans relates to the Cytochrome C in other animals, with yeast and bacterium being the least similar, and with the Rehsus monkey being the most similar. What this text book example, and many other examples fails to include is the evidence against the theory of macro evolution. Even when it comes to the similarity of the amino acids that compose the protein Cytochrome C, there are far more examples of how the more complex organisms that should be the most similar to humans, aren’t. In many more cases than are often listed, the composition of Cytochrome C in a complex organism is just as similar to the composition of Cytochrome C in a less complex organism, thought to have come far earlier in the evolutionary process.

    Oh no, it doesn’t make you look fat, but I might try something else. There is probably something better suited to your body type, because this just doesn’t make you look thin.
