Australopithecus Quotes : pic 000309683

Avian madness or deranged kiwi?
Australopithecus Quotes : pic 000609003
[Insects] are not only cold-blooded, and green- and yellow-blooded, but are also cased in a clacking horn. They have rigid eyes and brains strung down their backs. But they make up the bulk of our comrades-at-life, so I look to them for a glimmer of companionship.

Laistrygonians. Cannibals. Northern Giants. Sasquatch legend. Yep, yep. They are not birds. Not birds of North America.
Australopithecus Quotes : pic 000484931
The gaiaphage. That's the other word they use. 'Gaia,' as in world. 'Phage,' as in a worm or something that eats something up. I'm going to go way out on a limb here and say I don't think something that calls itself a 'world eater' is a good thing.
Australopithecus Quotes : pic 001001285

Never your bird, never finch
never graceful feathered thing.
Australopithecus Quotes : pic 000217493
The chicken is a dinosaur. I mean, it really is. You can't argue with it, because we're the classifiers and we've classified it that way.
Australopithecus Quotes : pic 001525242
It's a Magril - a bird that's native to Gillikin Country. It spends half its life as a beetle, and when it's an adult, it goes to sleep for a year and wakes up as this majestic creature."

"Kind of like you," he said.

In talking of evolution, it is common to have in mind a tree.
Australopithecus Quotes : pic 000977918

Australopithecus Quotes : pic 000763970
The biggest single-celled organisms in the world. They live beneath the Antarctic ice. And as they grow, they take grains of sand from their environment and glue them together to form hard outer skins.
Australopithecus Quotes : pic 001242742
[Author's Notes] As I write this, September 2002, much about the humpback song is still unknown. (Although scientists do know that it tends to be found in the New Age music section, as well as in tropical waters ... )

Australopithecus Quotes : pic 000755870
I can't blame you for trying to categorize me. It's a human instinct. It's why scientists are, to this day, completely flabbergasted by the duck-billed platypus: it's furry like a mammal, but lays eggs like a bird. It defies conventional classification.
