So rather then it being a simple case of adaptation (camouflaged animals get eaten less frequently by predators), what's really happening is some guy is designing a million variations on these animals. "Let's see, OK, guys, I have another idea: let's make the octopus again, but this time will give him color shifting capabilities. Oh, I know: let's make foxes that change colors to blend in with the snow in the winter time. But let's be careful to stick them only in the snowy areas. We'll design big eared foxes for the desert later."

Also, butterfly wings are different. They are covered in soft scales, hence the latin name, lepidoptera (scale wings), as opposed to the membrane wings of bees and flies.

Gail,

These are based on correlative statistics. Owning a scale and weighing yourself regularly actually correlates to weighing less, not more.

Alana,

I think you're right. None of these are necessarily a causal relationship.

As a former diamond grader, I can say with confidence that no imitation or even lab grown diamonds can fool an expert with equipment. A gem scope, and a tool or two, and I can spot any fake.

The graphs are a joke. No secondary analysis of information is done, leading to misleading results.

Example:
Q5: What type of shampoo
Winner (at 37%): It's a specialty shampoo.

Misleading.
63% selected either: it's the one I've always used, or no specific type, or it's cheap

The true message is most guys don't care.

Example 2:
Q:What perception about your car?
Winner (at 41%): I don't give a damn

But 59% either want to impress, or not be embarassed.

The true message is most guys care about their image when it comes to their car.

I had the same thing happen to me. Only it wasn't time cards, it was my place mats at Denny's. And I drew wieners.

I wonder if that waitress's little daughter will remember me...

Also, "fairly unique" is also not a phrase in the English language. Unique does not have degrees. Something either is, or is not, one of a kind. There is no, "fairly one-of-of-a-kind".

"Shouldn't of" isn't a phrase in the English language... seriously, "should not of" - sounds like a Sarah Palin sentence...

I believe they are looking for "Shouldn't have".....
