I'm not 100% certain on this, but I'm pretty sure you need a Leaf Stone.

I think you might be onto something... but e. coli, being a fecal fauna, and fecal matter used to be referred to as "Night soil"... wouldn't you need the evolution stone for earth types, not grass types??

I think that Mike Harris is descended from e coli. After all, his Common Sense Revolution caused an e coli outbreak.

Sen. Mike Walsworth is a member of the Republican party
Todd Akin is a member of the Republican party
Oh and one last interesting fact:
the NRA sponsors Republican candidates

What have we learnt? The Republicans are as thick as s**t, and still they're popular? :lol:

The Republican party is on its way out, and they don't even realize it.

On a side note, I wonder if any of the dinosaurs looked up and wondered where that big rock came from...

e coli does not evolve into humans. There was a one celled archean the evolved on one branch into e coli and another that evolved through a series of branches over billions of years into humans.

I would have replied:

'Sir, your question is proof that E.coli does not evolve into human beings. It evolves into a politician.'

His firm belief is that when it come to evolution, if you're a legitimate Christian there's a way to shut that whole thing down. :P

Idiot: "So they evolve into a person?" :roll:

It doesn't help to invite experts to explain a subject you know absolutely nothing about. It's like trying to explain quantum physics to a cat.

Ironically enough... I think cats are the only ones on the planet who can grasp quantum mechanics
