bleistift2,

I find it way more unnerving when the floor near (or sometimes not near) elevators stars shaking. Why does that happen? The elevator is obviously not connected to the floor‽

bleistift2,

Where’s the Mythbusters clip debunking the myth that a (first-world) elevator is even capable of falling?

bleistift2,

I find it even more annoying when they refuse to use their hearing aids. It’s not my problem if they can’t read the newspaper, but repeating every sentence because they need two attempts to understand it… aAaAAAaahh!

bleistift2,

100% the very last paragraph. Why do I have to wait for 78 messages to trickle through for one thought?

bleistift2,

Even non-Christian-nutjobs get this wrong, so let me spell it out: Humans didn’t evolve from apes. Humans evolved with apes from a common ancestor.

bleistift2,

The Hominidae, whose members are known as the great apes are a taxonomic family of primates that includes […] orangutan[s]; Gorilla[s …]; […] the chimpanzee and the bonobo; and Homo, of which only modern humans (Homo sapiens) remain.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hominidae

Apes [are] collectively [called] Hominoidea […] There are two extant branches of the superfamily Hominoidea: the gibbons […]; and the [great apes …]

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ape

You’re right in that humans are apes taxonomically. What I was trying to contradict was the misconception according to which the type of apes we see today got somehow “frozen” evolutionary some time ago, but that some of their descendents evolved to become human.
