Ok, I'll agree with you there, cuz I don't really like regular crown

gotta roll with the crown black for the shots. Tastes better and is more potent

They did not. To "win" implies some form of completion. If you have a 10k race and someone is in first for the first 2 k, you don't say "they won for 2k" you say "They were in first for 2k".

Me stating that they won it at the 3 hour mark implies a ending, the 3 hour mark. And saying the tripple crown states the competition.

I realize that you were trying to be clever by picking apart my obvious joke, but you fail, horribly.

guys just a word of advice, why not drink something that doesn't need to be taken as a shot due to its horrible taste?

try some brandy or cognac or something...and make sure its not some commercialized garbage made by some chemist in a lab, something made from natural fruits with no sugar added that gets its potency from the natural sugar in the fruit

just my suggestion

plum brandy in the morning mmmmmmmmmmm

I'm too old to worry about being clever.

It's a stupid joke that someone seems to insist on making (in some variation) almost every reset. It doesn't make sense. It's never funny, and it's certainly not original anymore. Your particular variation of it had the added burden of not making sense.

Why post something like that? Is it a plea for attention?

And yes, I'm in a fluffty mood -- which is why I'm taking the time to say this. But your post would have been idiotic whether or not I took the time to point it out.

Isn't evolution supposed to cause improvement?

If this is an example of evolution, then I'm throwing my hat in with the creationists for origin of species.

Natural evolution is supposed to cause change, not necessarily for the better. It's random, remember? That's why species die out.

That's not true at all.

Evolution (at least, Darwinian evolution) is not random at all. Mutation within a single individual is random -- but evolution is the process of selecting the mutations that are beneficial and passing them through the entire species. That's not random, because it's predictable. Any mutation that makes an individual more likely to reproduce will pass into the species as a whole.

Species don't die out because "random evolution made them go the wrong way", they die out because conditions change and their can't evolve quickly enough to cope.

For the most part, I concede the point. Regardless, the main statement I was trying to point out was the "not necessarily for the better" bit, as even unhelpful mutations can be spread throughout the entire species if those that carry them stay alive long enough to reproduce.

No... they can't. If a mutation offers no reproductive advantage it dies out, or becomes consigned to a minority of the population. It will never spread to the species as a whole and will not play a role in the evolutionary path of the species.

Mutations can be good or bad... but evolution is (by definition) the spreading of beneficial mutations. Therefore, evolution is always "for the better".

As long as the disadvantage is slight enough that the individual suffering it can survive long enough to reproduce, there is no reason that a disadvantageous mutation can't spread. Case in point: Even those of us in cold climates STILL don't have fur. Despite that, plenty of humans live in cold climates, because they've found ways around that irritation that make that disadvantage survivable.

As far as I've been taught, evolution is change over time--in either direction.

Any disadvantage when multiplied by statistically large numbers will find itself removed from the gene pool. You have to remember the time frames and numbers usually associated with evolution; even for humans, if you talk 1M years, that's a bloody lot of humans.

While you are correct that minor disadvantages may not find themselves removed immediately in times of low evolutionary pressure, in times of high evolutionary pressure (climate change, new predators, less food, disease) these slight disadvantages will find themselves rapidly selected against.
