So what's the difference between melanistic and leucistic.
Having an efficient car isn't the only environmental choice you have. You can be be more dilligent about turning oof lights and a computer you aren't using, conserve water, recycle, dry your hands on your pants instead of using paper towels from trees that require gas to deliver, or burning many paper towels worth of hydrocarbons as electricity in a blow-dryer. I even inadvertantly do things like insulate my ceiling with the packing foam I store on my top shelves for later reuse. I'm also making the solar steam-bike. It may not be more efficient or less polluting, but it could make use of garbage scraps like sawdust or dingy paint solvent as fuel. I might even pre-fab fuel pellets like a charcoal burner by stuffing the right mix of junk into modular tin cans.
You can buy used clothes and toys, dehydrated food, local food, insist on better city water treatment rather than import water from half-way around the world, work in sun-light, wear cooler or warmer clothing, avoid non-recycleable food packaging, donate things to the goodwill or neighbors, put appliances and wall-worts on swiched power strips, garden with low maintenace plants, use heavy appliances in off-peak hours.
Really we can hardly move without having choices in reducing our environmental impact at our hands. It takes getting into the idea of considering the global impact of the minute activities you do all day.

nunzilla.
Melanist is complete pigmentation [everythings black]. leucistic means your skin and eyes have 'normal' pigmentation, but stuff like your hair is without pigmentation. A leusistic person is like a partial albino.
how far does sunlight travel before it disperses in space? [as in the rays go off in different directions to such a degree that you cant see them clearly [detect] anymore?

I don't think light disperses undetectably. If you have a large collector, you will pick up a photon here or there. I think a 1/4" laser is 2.5 miles wide by the time it hits the moon.
BTW, I'm watching the lunar eclipse in Virgo currently. Next one is Feb 21, 2008. As auspicious start to my anthro of magic class.

The erotica is, naturally, a Harry Potter fanfic. But you need an account at erosnsappho.sycophanthex.com/ to read it. If you really wanna find it, look up the author Beren. Mammary glands make milk... and mammary glands are pretty much the same as sweat glands, only, they make milk. =P WHy does my sister insist on leaving every single light on in the house? The bathroom, the closet, the stairwell...?

I dunno, but I'm the opposite. I keep every light off unless I absolutely need it. XD
Question: If a tree falls in the woods and there's no one to hear it, does it make any noise?

Yes, it still makes noise. Science said so.
Question: If a tree falls on a mime and there's no one there to see it happen, does anyone care?

That depends merely if there is someone to record it.

Ouch. Tough one. Ummm... for playing, Mewtwo. Because he's so darned uber strong. As a character... Meowth. Since he has a personality.
Saddest fairy tale you ever heard?

this one about this mermaid who becomes a human to marry her human lover. But her sisters warn her there are consequences if things dont go her way or something. I think he betrays her becuase he's a predatory prick and she jumps into the ocean and disolves into seafoam [which is the "consequences" her sisters warned her about].
read it more than a decade ago so i dont remember it well. It might have been a chinese mermaid fairy tale, but then again ive never read the actual "little mermaid". and there are fairytale tragedies galore with mermaids.
like one where in the entire book this human and mermaid love each other, then he gets attacked by pirates and she saves him by pulling him away as they come to kill him. But she drags him down into the ocean and drowns him [she didnt know he cant breath in water; like when we asume something would naturally happen but it doesnt].
o ya she dies by trying to climb onto a secluded beach at night, she starts bleeding because her scales and such arent made for dragging [plus jagged rocks everywhere]. there was some other reasons too for her death on land. All i remember is that they were poetic. THe tide rises and the sea reclaims her.
Has fable 2 come out yet?

Nein, friend. Not yet. I'm still waiting for BioShock to get here.
Does anyone else here know about Callahan's Place?

Is that an Irish bar?
I know that lynx pardagim well. I think being trustable and nonjudgemental is a prerequisite for being able to read through people.
Back to more immediate matters, I think Tenjen's gotten quite lazy with this prescribed lynx ordeal. I haven't seen it's totem yet.
Yeah, the sea foam thing is how the original little mermaid tale went. I think that's the Hans Christian Anderson version.
My anthro teacher was talking about living on rice and ultra-bland lentil/peas on St. Vincent island. Finally he got some satisfying meat which turned out to be porpoise. That had me thinking about eating mermaid.
Are there things you aren't pursuing because life isn't long enough to complete such a pursuit?
