Do what you want. I don't give a fuck. Keep up your behaviour and your stay here will be short and unpleasant for you.
Short? He's been a member since 2009. I wonder why now he's suddenly left his cave.
Mental Hospital said he was sane enough to function in society.

HE DOESN'T BELIEVE IN EVOLUTION!
It's fine. The Theory of Evolution doesn't require him to accept it's truth, for it to be true.
It will be interesting to poke at that sore though! {cracks knuckles}

We humans probably helped them disappear on the mainland, though.

The scientists found that thylacine skulls bore similarities to the grey wolf and red fox, despite the animals not sharing a common ancestor since the Jurassic period.
"Given the two species are so distantly related, the fact they have skulls almost indistinguishable from one another is incredibly amazing," Dr Pask said.
He called it an exceptional example of convergent evolution - where species which are not closely related evolve to look similar.

Like seals, whales and sharks. They were remarkably dog-like.
