Random Thoughts...or...What's on Your Mind?

How inappropriate is it if I throw my coworkers a pizza party the day after the most toxic person in the building leaves are derpartment for good? Kind of a new start celebration? :lol:
 
Which comes first along evolutionary lines, the hoof or toes? A lot of animals, like cow, and goats have a split hoof, and pigs' are almost more little hooves on the end of toes. I believe horses, who have on solid hoof, have bones that look like toes inside the hoof.
So is all of the process of the hoof splitting apart into toes or the toes coming together into a hoof?

I found this article about horses. https://www.horseillustrated.com/evolution-of-the-hoof

Evolution of the Horse Hoof: Advantages of A Single-Toed Hoof (horseillustrated.com)

It seems non-hoofed predates hoofed, & hoofs evolved for better adaptation
 
I find it super weird that nature did that. They have toes or what look like toes inside the hoof.
Yeah, if you look at an X-Ray, they have what kind of looks like one giant toe inside the hoof.
It's kind of nasty, but one common condition they can develop is where that bone will actually start to break through the bottom of the hoof.:scream:

That sounds icky and bad for the poor thing.

So some people have been told periods are unnatural thing.

Seriously that is some messed up misinformation.


Oh and Isis wasn't always associated with bad people

Fs at the end are weird, & a lot of them use to be exclusively -ves, but there's been a lean toward going with whatever in modern times
 
Yeah, I've seen both and I fault Tolkien for making that happen.
:guffaw:

I wouldn't put it all on him. I favor the notion that most language devolves based on ease. It's not only easier to remember just adding an S to an existing word, instead of fully altering it, it's also phonetically a much easier practice on the mouth musculature... oofs or uhfs compared to ooooovvvvvszszszs lol
