Small skink lizards, Lerista, demonstrate extensive changes in body shape over geologically brief periods. Several species of these skinks have rapidly evolved an elongate, limbless body form.
These lizards are looking more like snakes, some having all but useless limbs. If you are to believe the Intellegent Design crowd a “god” made this creature this way, rather bad design I say.
Human Rights Watch has appealed to Saudi Arabia to halt the execution of a woman convicted of witchcraft.
So this illiterate woman was arested by the so called “religious police” and forced to confirm a confession that she could not read. Among her accusers was a man who alleged she made him impotent, I guess she is not much of a “Looker”.
Saudi executions are beheadings so she won’t be buned at the stake. My thinking is a hot steak is better than a cold chop anyday……. Sorry! could not help it.
Her appeals to the court are exhausted and only King Abdullah can stop this miscarriage of justice.
