I Think That I've Found The Solution To Most Of Our Problems

It Was Right Here Under My Nose All The While...


Simple solutions, that's my idea of the way most things SHOULD end up.

Take a look at this story about a rare prehistoric fish that keeps popping up alive in modern times.

"MANADO, Indonesia (Reuters) - An Indonesian fisherman has caught a coelacanth, an ancient fish once thought to have become extinct at the time of the dinosaurs, a fishery expert said on Monday...

That catch came 60 years after a member of the species was rediscovered on the east coast of South Africa.

Coelacanths are known from the fossil records dating back more than 360 million years, according to the Australian Museum Fish Web site.

Before 1938 they were believed to have become extinct approximately 80 million years ago, when they disappeared from the fossil record, it said.

Coelacanths are the only living animals to have a fully functional intercranial joint, which is a division separating the ear and brain from the nasal organs and eye. "

What's that?

A "joint" that separates the ear and brain from the nose and eyes?

Say WwwwwHhhhhaaaaaatttttT?

Well, if that's true, I say that we should immediately start pumping a few gazillion bucks into some research. Let's see if we can figure out how to make congress and most of our voters learn how to start correlating their hearing and brain functions with what they smell and see.

Wouldn't the world would be a MUCH better place as a result?
