WTF, Evolution?
WTF, Evolution is a great new blog that criticizes some of evolution’s most bizarre designs. For example the text for the guy above reads:
“Hey! Hey! I think I finally made something cute.â€
“Oh, yeah? Let’s see.â€
“It’s a ‘shoebill.’ It’s big and blue and adorable. Nice, right?â€
“It’s… hm. I don’t know. I like the blue, but something about those eyes is kind of creeping me out right now.â€
“What? Come on. Those are friendly eyes. It wants to be your friend.â€
“Okay. Okay, yeah. You’re right, evolution, I’m sorry. Should I feed it, maybe? What does it eat?â€
“Baby crocodiles.â€
“Oh Jesus Christ.â€
Yes, it is wonderful.
And you thought the way they looked was disgusting.
Spoiler alert: they’re insane!
