274: More Motorcycle Goofishness in Store. Plus: Darwinism in Reality


Yes, folks.
It's a wrench.
A funny-looking one too, but, it was the first pic I saw when I Googled "wrenching dimwit". :)

Just read a good one on a motorcycling forum about how a guy was surprised to find out his rear sprocket bolts were loose.
In fact, one of the bolts was completely gone, leaving five left.
He found this out when he removed the rear wheel and put the wheel up on a fancy tire changing stand, a thing that puts the tire up at about waist level.
I guess it was because the bolts were a couple feet closer to his eyes and he wouldn't have to bend down to check them that allowed his discovery that his bike was coming apart as he rode it.

Funny thing is that he also posted a video of his wheel up on the stand showing his five remaining bolts all nice and loose, and he played with them and wiggled the sprocket back and forth for the camera, as if he were amazed by this.
He then added that he thinks the missing bolt fell out about 2,500 miles ago.
Does he mean to say he was aware of the missing bolt and not only didn't replace it, but didn't bother to check the remaining ones?

Some wisecracks would say something like Darwinism and Darwin's theory of evolution will eventually weed-out motorcycling numbskulls like that when they crash and burn from such stupidity.
Not me, because I don't think Dimwitt's...I mean Darwin's stupid "theory" has anything to do with what we were taught in grammar school about it.
Nope.
Here's what I think the Theory of Evolution and the Survival of the Fittest REALLY means to the guys who put it forth and believe in it's true meaning:

The theory that things will physically change their physical shape and their physiology to adapt to their environment never made a bit of sense to me.
Never.
I think it was in the 4th grade that our teacher, Mrs. Johnson, told us that a giraffe's neck was once no longer than any other leaf eater.
But, having to reach those tipitty-top leaves and out-eat it's competitors and survive meant it had to get with the evolution program and gradually, over millions of years, get a long neck.
That way, it could munch more leaves and survive.
That was, I was taught, how evolution worked:
When the going gets tough, you adapt and survive.
It just takes millions of years to see the changes.

I felt that was pure bullshit.
I felt it was a complete placing of one's faith in a hair brained "theory" where the idiot preaching it couldn't prove it at all because he wasn't around millions of years ago to watch the giraffes eating and he's not gonna' be around for a million years from now, and neither were his predecessors, and neither will his descendants.
Saying that it's a carved-in-stone theory with a plot like that is basically an insult to me.
It's a completely made-up bunch of shit.
I've never seen or heard any proof, other than the school teachers saying, "It's true".

No thanks, because I'd sooner believe in Santa Claus.
Ho, ho, ho. :)

No, what evolution and the survival of the fittest really means is having to do with us on Earth, in the recent past and today, where the psychos that crave power and wealth and to control those they see as being lesser than themselves believe that the reason they are where they are is because they are naturally better than those below them.
The fact that they are in positions of great power and wealth is because they are more evolved, are the most fit to be there, and because of that, not only are capable of ruling the masses below them, but basically have every right to do so.
Having come from families with a history of generations holding onto their wealth and power and passing it on to their offspring (along with their superior genes) is their meaning of evolution and the survival of the fittest.
That's their definition of Theory of Evolution and what it takes to be the fittest, not some stupid, made-up story about a giraffe.

Off to jerk,
