    [cite]Posted By: McLovin[/cite]Given that there’s a lot of knowledgeable characters on here, thought it might be good idea to have a little space on here where you can drop those queries that you’ve always wondered about and (hopefully) get answers to them.

    So here’s my first two:

    1. When you see footballers walking onto the pitch and chatting/having a bit of a laugh with refs or opposition players that they have no obvious connection to, what are they talking about?


    Thanks in advance

    I always used to chat and have a laugh with the ref before a match , either about what i got up to the night before or anything really. It always helped him keep the card in his pocket for that first tackle.

    Posted By: CuffWhy have Monkeys stopped evolving into humans? (Your answer must not include the word Millwall)

    All species are in the process of evolving all the time (some more slowly than others), but there is no fixed endpoint and no fixed pattern. Because we are the most highly developed creatures to date, there is a temptation to think of human beings to be some sort of desirable endpoint for all evolotion (at least all simian evolution). In reality though there are many possibilites for how monkeys may evolve but we won't be around to see the final result - unless we kill them all and put a premature end to the monkey line.

    Because rain doesn't tend to fall from down below.

    [cite]Posted By: PaddyP17[/cite]Being a student this gets on my nerves... so, just to clarify, Charles Darwin in all his works stated that monkeys and humans had a common ancestor.

    Right, if Charles Darwin wrote a book about it, his theory must be absolutely true.
    Nailed on. FACT!

    No fresh thinking required since 1859.

    If I was a wasp, I'd seriously think what is the point of a human?

    They just get in the way, and feck up the whole planet.

    Ah, agreed ......what is the point of a wasp?

    Bees are better, they don't often sting, give you a good game ...... and you still win 2-0

    Because the missionaries are f*cked if they can do it.

  • Speaking of evolution...Richard Dawkins has just published another book on the subject - "The greatest show on Earth", I read it on the train to and from the match yesterday, which is possibly the only time that anyone has ever taken a book on evolution to a Charlton match (probably).

    Why do some people pronounce 'clique' as 'click'. When they say someone is in a 'click' I always think they have damaged their knee and it's making a funny noise.
    Also why is 'specific' said as 'pacific'?
