"FOR" global warming? Now there's a phrase I never thought I'd here! LordPerrin Send a noteboard - 07/04/2010 01:16:04 AM
I saw this on a YouTube video and wanted to ask you guys.

If you could change 1 thing in history, what would you change, and how do you think that that would affect things?


just think what the earth would be like: mammals may not have had the right conditions to evolve and thrive, leading to a race of lizard folk as the predominant species on the planet instead of humans. we'd all be *for* global warming if that were the case!
I'm not strange. I'm normal. Everyone else is strange.
Oosta!
Never underestimate the power of the nerd!

He must be talking about a different plague, but I'm not sure which one, either. *NM* Legolas - 07/04/2010 01:37:32 AM 356 Views
Maybe; there were episodic plague epidemics before and after that time. Joel - 07/04/2010 02:05:18 AM 597 Views
