You mean you didn't know? Next time you're at a bus stop, show the woman next to you your latest copy. You'll be surprised at the reaction.

Except that it decreases the peanut's value as a crop.

I love peanut butter, the natural kind is freakin awesome, not bad oils in them. So I'm glad I don't have the allergy.

In school, we had this kid who carried around a HUGE needle, for peanut allergies. I mean this needle looked like freakin nail or something. Anyway, in case of peanut ingestion, everyone was instructed to take the needle and stab him in the heart with it.

soy peanuts: the epitamy of evolution

**Rufus T. Firefly** · May 3, 2005, 02:21

Rufus is gay. Real men spend flights thinking about screwing the stewardess in one of the washrooms.

Nah, Rufus is happily married; it's like being gay, but with less sex.

God is a sadistic *******.... good enough for ya?

Well, that certainly jibes with my understanding of the Old Testament. Score one for Creationism...

Ooo, but evolution comes back fighting! It's tied, 1-1!

Unless there is a strain of peanut which is not an allergen, there's no intra-peanut competition, so no selective advantage either way.

Allegies are auto-immuno responses (I think I got the spelled correctly) that are triggered by the system going bonkers.

**DeathByTheSword** · May 3, 2005, 05:02

allergies are the biggest pro for evolution...because of modern medicine a lot of people life that in a 'natural' world wont. combine that with the totally wrong dieet people are having now a days and you start being allergy for almost every thing...natural selections has gone bonkers because of our inventions.....lets say it like this do you think that any starving dude from africa (or where ever people are starving) has an allergy for peanunts? hell no it is a western decease
