Meanwhile, in Florida.

That's actually true. The little shits cry at all hours as a means to prevent siblings, aka competition, by keeping the parents too exhausted to make another kid and the cry they have, like you said, has evolved to be too annoying to ignore.

Lock me in a sound box with a crying baby. I'll win this game.

Flacka or Zombie? You decide. http://www.wtxl.com/news/florida-sta...d2c3b2166.html

TL;DR--19 year old kid, not proven but most assuredly high on some shit, walks up to a random couple who were chilling in their garage/driveway and stabbed them both to death. A neighbor tried to intervene and also got stabbed. When police arrived, the kid was eating the man's face.

PCP, bath salts, or both.

Place your bets.

cats have evolved similarly. they have a specific sound which combines a plaintive cry with a soft purr, which engages a combination sympathetic/irritated reflex. the irritation means you can't ignore it, and the sympathy part means you want to be nice to them.


cats are bastards, really

Meanwhile, Senator Marco Rubio says pregnant women who have been infected with Zika should not be allowed to get abortions.

Marco Rubio can fucking carry the babies to term then.

Dude have you seen Mimic!?! Introduce GM life into the wild to kill a pest to prevent disease and next thing you know they kill humans!

What if the mosquito DNA gets transferred to an alligator somehow and we end up with super alligator/mosquito hybrids in the wild! What then? Huh?

Why not just genetically modify humans to be less weak.

Apparently human experimentation is unethical or something so we gotta wait on China to do our dirty wor... er I mean make the innovations first

[Salodin]

Don't worry about the human experiments, we already have successful in vitro experiments of using genetic modification techniques to remove RT virus DNA from host cells (one of the holy grails of antiviral therapy). Within two decades we'll see at the very least widespread, very public, research on how close we are to curing the hep and HIV.

Reports today that Zika has reached Miami Beach. DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

[Salodin]

Damn this virus is scoring such a critical hit on humans, and serving as a nice reminder of what happens when you don't/can't vaccinate against certain microorganisms.

It's a self resolving illness like the cold, and only affects developing babies.

That and there isn't an approved vaccine.

[Anoat]

Shhh, if it keeps pregnant women and babies out of Florida I'm all for it.

[archibaldcrane]

Pretty sure most people born in Florida already suffer from microcephaly.
