That teh roxorz. Immaculate dragon conception. Watch the fundies go nutz over this.

Sweet dragon Jesus!

And this will all be written in the Book of Partheogenesis.

That is powerfully awesome. Praise the seven Dragon Jesuses.....Jesii?

I always thought it was "Jeses." Hm.

"Virgin"... heh.
That what they want you to think! :eek:

...none of my other girlfriends claimed me either.

:D
I for one welcome our new reptilian overlords.

Didn't you know the aliens from V were evolved Komodo dragons from the future who came back in time to wipe out humanity before they irreversibly damaged the earth. This is the first step in that evolution.

Wow, is my school wrong about Jesus. Apparently he isn't a magic hippie person after all, but rather seven magic hippie Komodo Dragons. Now I know what I'm gonna preach in my church.

Wasn't the xtian antichrist supposed to be born from a beast? Specifically, isn't a dragon involved in the xtian apocalypse myth? Amusing. Perhaps the fundies will go even more nuts and think the apocalypse is near.

Nothing to get excited about Groznyj or Trotskylvania

Parthenogenesis is a process in which eggs become embryos without male fertilization. It has been seen in about 70 species, including snakes and lizards. Scientists are unsure whether female Komodo dragons have always had this latent ability to reproduce or if this is a new evolutionary development.

Apparently they do not know if they could always do this or if it is relatively new to the species.

The apocalypse has always been nigh.

not this again :rolleyes:

"Komodo dragons seem to be able to switch ways of reproducing to deal with a shortage of suitable boyfriends," said Dr. Rick Shine, a professor of evolutionary biology at the University of Sydney, Australia. Shine was not involved with the Nature paper. In contrast, other lizard species that reproduce asexually cannot mate normally.

Something else to think about on page 2. Along with this: That might give Komodos a distinct survival edge. Only about 4,000 dragons remain in the wild, of which 1,000 are female. Concerns about dwindling Komodo dragon populations might be allayed by Flora and Sungai's recent self-induced motherhood.

kuhl

Praise our dragon Lords

quite interesting indeed

A SEVEN-HEADED dragon, no less.

I see people would rather crack jokes instead of having an intelligent discussion on this.

We'll have the intelligent discussion once Rapture Ready declares that this means that the apocalypse is nigh.

Why does everything have to deal with religion in this thread when this has nothing to do with religion?

'Jessies', ha!
