Supertongue

I came across this little guy while I was browsing through my interweb sites yesterday and stopped and stared…mouth agape.  This little bugger, the Ecuadorian long-tongued bat, is just 6.5 centimeters long but has a tongue that is 9 centimeters long.  That's it stretching down the length of the test tube.

 
This allows “Batty, the supertongue wonder” to reach the nectar in the very bottom of some of the indigenous, long-fluted flowers of his native land.  Some might consider that an evolutionary miracle (if that’s not mixing philosophies).  Doing quick calculations with my limited math skills, that is roughly equivalent to a 6-foot-tall man having a nearly 9-foot-long tongue.  Yeah, ponder that for just one second…

I don’t actually know that has been studied "Dave DiMaio" but it’s certainly worth investigating, yes.

You mean besides choke yourself to death?  Ladies don’t push, there is plenty of "Bruce Mort" to go around…

Well now, "Rebecca Phillips" I think that you might have wandered over from Saturday’s post on Zombies, but your comment is certainly more germane to this discussion than it was to the Miami face-eater.
Anyone want to make a non-sexual comment?

Nothing but low-hanging fruit here, so-to-speak.

C’mon let’s mix it up a little, anyone want to make an uninformed comment about evolution being “just a theory”?

There ya go.  I knew it was in there somewhere; and we’re off…

Uhhh, "Steve Zarycki," I’d like to take a little detour here and point out the irony of saying “you cannot fix stupid” in the same post that you used “lerned” and “grese.”  Way to prove your point.

Okay.  Back to the action…

Well, all of this bible vs. evolution talk is certainly a waste of time…errr, I mean, interesting.  I at least give you all credit for presenting your points somewhat reasonably, but I want to point out that we’re talking about a creature here that has a tongue 1.5 times the length of its body.  I think "William Moore" sums it up quite well.

Exactly.

Be Reasonable.
