how did the puma taste, Charlie?

Does the giant honeybee collect molds and fungi from the cliff?

I love the picture of Darwin there. It’s as if he’s about to say “Yes, I ate them. And I don’t care what you think.” And, if I do have to go to the mall, I try to get out as soon as possible.

The conscious revulsion of mall shopping is: “overpriced garbage accompanied by mindless hoards”.

Haw. Most folks only keep window shopping at the malls.

Aha, so, dissecting animals for studying was just an excuse to eat them, eh, Mr. Biological Theory Man?

After eating all sorts of animals, Darwin put out his famous theory of taste : They all taste like chicken.

Not much Gruen Transfer going on now, huh?

Charles Darwin and Abraham Lincoln were both born on February 12, 1809

A natural buzz?

what is this mall thing of which you speak?

Oh well, he never claimed to be a vegetarian.

Haven’t been in the mall in many years. I do go to some stores there, but they have doors facing the parking lot so you don’t need to go into the main court.

After which, Darwin produced his epic, On the Origin of Feces…

The only thing that keeps me shopping is not having found everything on my list.

Take care, may the reward be with you, and gesundheit.

The subconscious allure of a Pall Mall that keeps you smoking is called addictive nicotine.

The overwhelming acceptance of Darwin’s Theory of Evolution by the scientific world dashed Darwin’s dream of franchising exotic menu restaurants across Europe.

You gotta be high when harvesting hallucinogenic honey from sheer mountain cliffs.

So is the pollen used to make hallucinogenic honey collected from poppy plants?

Mad honey, is a type of honey that is actually a poison. It is a neurotoxin that could cause hallucinations and get you stoned, even in small amounts. … The effects of mad honey were known in ancient times and was used as the first chemical weapon. Made from rhododendrons.

What flowers do Himalayan bees get their nectar from? Wouldn’t it be easier to harvest the flowers instead?

So why did we import the murder hornets instead of Himalayan Giant Honeybees?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apis_laboriosa

There are three different types of Apis laboriosa honey: spring or red honey that is created from flowers at higher altitudes, spring honey created from flowers at mid and lower altitudes, and autumn honey is created from any site. Red honey has an intoxicating effect and various relaxing qualities that decrease over storage. It is not consumed locally as it is valuable, and honey hunters prefer to sell it at a high price. As hive bees are not kept at such high altitudes, Apis laboriosa is the only bee to produce this honey. The wholesale price of the red honey is about five times the price of regular honey from Apis mellifera or Apis cerana and large amounts of it are exported from Nepal to Japan, Korea, and Hong Kong. The red honey is prized for its purported medicinal value and intoxicating qualities which are attributed to the grayanotoxin present in the nectar collected from white rhododendrons (Rhododendron spp.).4 The Gurung people in Nepal are renowned for their use of this mad honey, both for its medicinal and hallucinogenic properties.5

Darwin spread honey on his tortoise and then hallucinated a confusing mall.

Kinda obvious. We all know you can’t get much higher than the Himalayas…

Jason were are you? I miss your comments!
