I bleeped out a swear word. ;)

Referring to early statements... I merely return to the point that we don't have any evidence that directly supports a bridge between species. While it is theorized that some dinosaur species evolved into the modern day birds, that is contingent on finding links between the two. The problem is that while we can pose suppositions about possible connections between various animals, it would really require an extensive series of minor mutations to result in the kind of evolution claimed. As far as evolution goes, I'm agnostic -- it's an interesting theory, and there is some evidence for it, but there is no real proof as of yet.

Regarding Noah and the bible, I was referring not to how the author(s) of the text considered it, but how later people interpreted it. The mark of Cain was often used as an excuse to enslave people with dark skin...

Did Kamek have a name in the Japanese version of SMW2, or was he just a generic Magikoopa?

Must be a really corrupt version that gives Noah's sons distinctive features like skin color. The black/white thing I think you are thinking of is when people say the mark put on Cain is black skin. People used that to justify slavery and more. Sigh.

Not to be petty, but while the evolution of a species is proven (animal species do change over time), evolution of a species into a new species hasn't been proven, and won't be until fossil evidence is found linking the species. It's a promising theory, but we really have nothing to prove it with yet, as we are unable to find real links between species that may have evolved...

(Personally, I don't really care much either way if evolution did or didn't occur, but it irks me when people assume things to be true with no evidence of them being so.)

Actually, number addresses are the REAL locations used by network systems to locate servers... name URLs (classicgaming.com, google.com) are easy to read "fake" names that name servers translate to the real #'s.

Regardless, I don't know where the secret page is. However, I have pondered downloading ALL the HTML pages on the site and searching for it.

Actually, the copyright law DOES allow one to tape music off the radio and films off the TV -- but you can't sell those to other people...

Emulation itself isn't illegal -- but getting  copies of copywritten games IS (unless you own the game itself).

It doesn't matter if the product is no longer being produced; the owner has the right to control how their product is treated. You might not like it, but that's the way it is. I've noticed that people rarely stop at emulation and "Roms/Warez" of old systems and games, anyway...
