You're kidding right?
My invertebrate zoology professor told us, "you aren't going to find a new species. When identifying just pick what's the closest in this book."
The last thing I need in the morning before my coffee kicks in is a jumping computer mouse on my desk!
I'm still waiting for the Save the Rat Foundation.
No, I am not kidding.
Here's another example from 25 years ago.
Some company wanted to build a Liquified Natural Gas terminal on Central California coast.
As this progressed they were told "No can do, these are sacred Indian burial grounds".
Well, it turns out that a news reporter came in contact with an "uncoached" representative from that Indian group.
He asked how long these remains had been there.
The representative statement (paraphrased), "Well, we brought these in last month, and we have some more being brought in soon."
Some "educated in that Indian culture" responded, "Oh, they would NEVER do that!" "Those remains are VERY sacred, and they would NEVER move them for political reasons!"
Ya, political agendas NEVER overcome the integrity of the science or culture....../sarcasm.
Oh geeeeeez... how can Native Americans NOT be offended at all the stereotypes the hippies are pushing on them? ...
The Watermelon zealots also hired retired people to "find" these critters.
Ten years ago after I retired, I was fly fishing in the NW area of California and the SW area of Oregon.
I kept seeing this fly fisher with probably a $60,000 rig. It was a big diesil Ford F250 4 wheel drive with a very expensive/large/self contained camper.
During a lull in fishing, I complemented him on his rig. It turned out that he was newly retired like me. I told him he must have had a hell of a great retirement to buy a rig like that.
He replied that he was a monitor/listener for endangered species and got paid to search for these critters. At that time he was getting paid at night to drive into remote areas and park his camper. Then set up a couple of recording devices to record any spotted owls and a rare marbelled coastal bird which supposedly only came out at night.
So he fly fished and whatever he wanted to do in the day time. Then drove into the wildernesses/forests, camped free with a special permit, set up the listening devices and was paid apparently quite well to do this.
He was also paid extra for any photos of spotted owls that he saw and caught pictures of.
I asked him how the envirals knew where the spotted owl pictures came from (the specific area). He laughed and said they didn't and didn't care.

"I think the Save the rat foundation is already created, it doesn't seem to very effective though. It's sometimes referred to in the press by another name the Democrat National Conference"
Or the DNC for short!
I always thought that DNC was an acronym for Dummy's Not Conceding.
Donkeys
Not
Conscious?
Dashall Not Caring
Bull Crap! Only Art Bell's and George Noree's UFO piloting Chupacabra can do that!!! (Oh, and some few FReepers who buy alla that suposedly cost effective alternative energy crappola!!!)
Where I come from, 9 inch mice are called rats.
Guess who controls the credentials for "peers"?
