Really interesting read. Although I'm not so sure about winning a Nobel Prize for working out which shit they prefer

on the subject of evolution there was an article in new scientist about how human hunting and fishing have and is massively changing/changed many species, as hunting and fishing can either force the creatures to become bigger and less populus or smaller and more populus it fucks up the food chain (especially with fish) as the other animals that eat them are then either too big (need to eat more little ones!) or too small (cant eat big things!) and thus they start dying out or are forced to adapt too!

this happens naturally ofc but us humies are speeding it up mahusivelly it would seem!

Was in the Swedish magazine, Illustrerad Vetenskap aswell, among the article about gigantism.

I've evolved, i've grown a 3rd arm, and i've mastered the art of eating a elephant in one go..

Ah makes sense now I now know what an Ig Nobel prize is thx wiki.

Quite a big difference isn't it?

Would have been cool if they would have gotten the real Nobel Prize for that tho

I'd be more amazed if BBC reported that CorNokZ is evolving
