    The first panel made me laugh. Then the rest of them did too.

    Not every change evolution makes is helpful.

    It’s like evolution is just trying things out to see how it works out.

      No no, evolution is just random shit happening and those who can’t use their change to their benefit just die out… (wait, you already knew that, didn’t you?)

    Frigging is a 1920’s euphemism. So happily, Darwin wouldn’t even know what it meant; whereas fuck is a good old-fashioned 16th century word.

    Darwin also missed out on his ideas being condensed (in the 1960’s) into the four F’s of evolutionary theory: fight, flee, feed and procreate.

      But procreate does not start with the letter ……. Ohhhhhhh.

      Actually, frig goes back to 6th or 7th century Danish, entering English via the Danelaw, although the meaning and popularity has varied somewhat.
      Fuck goes back to at least the 15th century (the first recorded use was in a macaronic poem, “Flen Flyys”, dated to 1475 at the latest)

      See, I heard that one as the “four universals of xenoevolutionary biology.” Dr Jack Cohen is an evolutionary biologist who, as a hobby, develops plausible alien life forms for science fiction authors. He has this idea that anything which only evolved once on our planet is probably a “provincial” — something that just, y’know, happened — but anything which evolved multiple times in multiple ways probably could show up on another planet, too. For instance, humans, octopodes, houseflies, and scallops all have eyes, but they all work completely differently and evolved from different structures in different ways. Therefore, we can guess that, if we ran into an alien species, it would be reasonable to guess that it might have eyes.

      On the other hand, all the creatures on earth that have a food-tube and a breathing-tube right next to each other that share an opening that you can either put food or air in, and they have to switch off? All of us are descended from one specific creature that made that dumb mistake, but which nonetheless managed to survive well enough. But since that only happened once, we can probably guess that most creatures would not be able to choke on their food, and the Heimlich Maneuver would be a thing only humans ever needed.

      His list of the “Four Universals”, the things that evolved separately multiple times over life on Earth, are the “Four F’s”: “flight, fur, photosynthesis, and mating.”

    Did you know that the first zombies developed from people with peanut allergies? Neither did I, because it’s not true.

    Some zombies are actually allergic to peanuts. If they come into contact with peanuts, they turn into those fat exploding zombies.

      So their nemesis is charlie brown and the gang. I bet pigpen would be the scariest for zombies, if they felt fear. He is always wrapped within a cloud that he refers to as the dust of the ages.

      Me? I’ll just rely on ye ole grumpy neighborhood badgers and the local cranky wolverine to keep the occasional shambler at peace. I mean in pieces.

      Unsolicited advice: It’s a lot easier a formulation to simply quote Haruko Haruhara: “Ukulele no good.” That way, you also get to have a chuckle while everyone looks at you askew and wonders what you mean.

      Never mind, I’m just amusing myself.

    Maybe the currently processing of peanuts is a little to recent for evolutionary explanations.

    I have a peanut allergy and I was amused until I was likened to Hitler. Now I’m unsure how to feel.

      Well, if it makes you feel any better, I’m like Hitler too. I mean, we both have the same initials.
