Evidently anthropologists have connected humans wearing clothing to the evolution of human body lice - both started about 70,000 years ago.

Isn't that interesting? Didn't you always want to know that? Something to consider next time you pull on a pair of blue jeans...

Or, like me, do you now want to go burn all of your clothes and take a 3 hour shower?

There's no such thing as a vacant environmental niche; we created it and the lice won the competition for it.

Look at it this way: humans once actually did something constructive on this planet ... they helped evolve a new species ;)

We helped body lice to evolve! Go us! :P Of all the species on the PLANET that we could destroy, we help this one live. Oh, the cruel irony!!

LOL!!! Weeeellll, it's possible that our ancestors could have encouraged them deliberately. Y'know, as itty bitty livestock. The portable protein snack that's always with you, no matter where you go ***extremely evil grin***

Mmmm, crunchy! Wonder if they come in bacon-bit flavor :P

I suppose if one used bacon fat as a moisturizer, one could influence the flavour. (Be warned: my favourite song from Sweeney Todd is the one about associating pie characteristics with the people they're made from and I own a series of photographs [taken by friend's wife, who thinks we're disgusting] of myself and a friend shopping for cannibal cooking supplies [with the particular goal of roasting children] ... there is NO limit to how far I'll go in this type of conversation ***grin***)

I don't get why people get grossed out by what is so obvious just joking back and forth. Of course we'd never eat children! I mean, I love kids.

I just can't ever finish a whole one ;)

And besides, you need a handbag to go with your "suit"...:P
