Hey all, we’ve a had a pretty big week with the upgrades but the servers endured the storm and survived. The files have gone on to replicate in a way that seems beneficial. We run 5 dedicated machines but now we have a whole new OS and way more space to live on. With regards to release times, we’ll be early and on-time from here on out, saving any problems from meteorites, dinosaurs or nukes.
OK, there are lots of changes going on the old archive comments, and I wish to selectively remove them. And because I want to is because they’re useless from me. I’m the one who done all this, and now I don’t want them anymore.
So today, I’m going to make things more better for you:

Wow! That gets the job done.
Thanks Drew! …and, good luck.
Well “A request for Drew” although your comments are useless (these also) to you, I am sure that you are pleased that the normal viewers of this board and Drew himself find them rather botherlsome and useless and classified as SPAM. Me I wish script kiddies would pick on some more deserving sites.
Drew, Jamie and ??? — don’t you have the ip from this poster? It’s fairly possible to block an ip but then again the spammer will switch ips. When I was maintaining a web site I had to ban one particularly obnoxious poster. Unfortunately I had to ban what effectively was an entire province. Hopefully some of you techies can do better.
Well guess what? I wasn’t satisfied with the comments I’ve done and now they’re useless for me. So that’s what I wanted - removing comments posted by a list of people who commented shown on the list above by A Request for Drew.
Also requested to use a different http://www.rocketboom.com ending.
i have an unplanned mind screwed up with things i don’t understand
4:20 - “…what a rotten ending…”
Drew? Drew, are you there?
Joanne I like it when you talk science! I’m having a bit of trouble picking up the sarcasm though. Just a tad. :D
Great show, excellent graphics. Also happy b-day to Abraham Lincoln, Michael McDonald, Bill Russsell, Arsenio Hall & a few others.
lp
Drew, plz tell me you got this joke? the goofball leaving all the “spam” ruined the immediate visual connotation to your post…
I bet Joanne would find great success as the voiceover for film clips at the Museum of Natural History. Could there be a spinoff in the offering, just in case a MoNH staffer is peeking in?
Ha! At 2:17 Joanne said “…just a fluke…”. Get it? Fluke; like the tail fins of whales & dolphins. Oh never mind.
Oh yeah … the eyebrow raise is back! Yummy! Haven’t seen that in such a long time I almost forgot about it but today’s made up for the absence! Yesterday’s closeup angled shot near the beginning of the show was a nice twist but very reminiscent of a time BJ (before Joanne). I know Joanne is just too classy to bring back the “AC hair toss” though.
Great lesson on evolution!
4:20 - “…what a rotten ending…”
5:43 - “…how about a sudden ending?”

I’m sorry… what did the poor mummy whale getting bitten or snagged on coral have to do with mutations??? I know you are NOT suggesting that an accident at birth becomes a genetic defect???
I think that Joanne was just narrating that animation and not bothering to point out those flaws… the rocketboom team definitely knows better than to believe that large-scale physical damage causes mutations.
I’ve got a TED talk on this topic. Watch it if you can:

“And let me tell you, the ladies loved it”
Did you also know that lesbians are jealous of whales…
AHA!
-So THAT’s why the laydeez keep Staring at me, even when they’re having dinner with their bfs; or squealing about my hands.
–I’m a Sexy Mutant with a nose on top of my head!!! :D
hmm… -now when was that Girls’ Day you are always freaking about; -16th or something?
-Oof!
Also: There was a program on PBS recently. -I want to say it was “Nova” where they talked about Dogs.
There’s this guy who purports to break at least -part- of Evolution in that it Does make quick jumps, instead of Long, Slow, Eon-ic, Trudging progress.
He says Dogs evolved from Wolves Very quickly; not nearly as long as had been thought.
I think it was here:

hey i just wanted to say that rb has become an irreproducible part of my day for the last 3 years. thank you keep up the good work
But you glossed over the most important thing evolution needs to prove - how inanimate life became animate. Just saying, “Ehh, don’t worry about how it happened” doesn’t do much for someone who really wants to know!
The theory of evolution doesn’t really cover how life forms out of “nothing”; there is no natural selection if there’s nothing to select from yet. There are other theories on how life started on Earth, but I won’t go into that right now.
LOVED IT!
i love your vlog, until the evolution, and happy b-day to Darwin issue. now i have a slight issue. seriously, there is a difference between macro and micro evolution. in the human world we call mutations cancer. i’m not a proponent of creationism. in addition, lets take a “small” change, like a lung instead of a gill. there are millions if not billions of amino acids that simultaneously have to change, this does not fit the definition of evolution and has never been observed. i could go on here, but if you really want to educate yourself then watch this video.

Hi Joshua,
I’ll start by saying that no, I didn’t watch your hour long video because I don’t have the time, and I have likely already heard all the arguments presented.
The assumption that Darwin’s theory requires macroevolution is typically a knee-jerk reaction that hasn’t received a lot of open-minded thinking. I won’t ask you to read the Origin of Species, but at least read the small excerpt from the following page:
http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/CA/CA113_1.html
It does not talk about gills -> lungs, but it talks about the evolution of the eye. Tell me what you think.
