Catfish and Darwin

Can they really walk? And if not now, then when?

I found this image at Wikipedia

The folks over at the View from the Right, paramount critics of Darwinism, are on a roll. It started off as a semi-serious discussion of a photo of a fish on a highway (watch out for falling bricks, um road crossing jokes), and ended up unravelling some real possibilities about its evolutionary path from swiming to walking (across highways). Humor has its tremendous benefits after all. For one, it allows us to get out of the box, and become creative in our thinking.

Who said that Lawrence Auster has no sense of humor? Mary Jackson of the New English Review for one, who also had some (serious) things to say about Hirsi Ali and feminism. Maybe it is just that feminists have no sense of humor, and thus always seem to get things wrong.

By the way, the Google search tool at VFR is really good. All I had to do was type in "sense of humor" and Mary Jackson's quotes were up there amongst the top three. The top two dealt with Hillary's sense of humor (which, I'll admit I don't think really exists - but then again I may have Mary Jackson-style blinkers on), and relegated to second place is God's sense of humor - and a rueful one at that.

But, in all seriousness, the post on the fish on the highway is worth reading.

Humor and truth - a connection here?
