I had an internet argument with a person that insisted that the giant panda's digestive system was a marvel of efficiency. 

I didn't get why they were emotionally invested in this until I found out they were vegan.

Also, pandas will kill goats if the panda is motivated and the goat is dumb.

I would imagine a goat would be too stubborn to kill.  By a panda anyway, they're not exactly the poster-children for motivation.

There was a recent thing in the news about a panda managing to kill a goat.  Maybe it was a combo of smart panda and dumb goat.

Pandas will eat meat if they find it, it's how they bait traps for tagging wild ones. 

That aside pandas manage to eat bamboo with having a gut set up like a carnivore and only extract energy from bamboo due to bacteria in their gut.  They didn't even get the nice efficient bacteria to do it.  From that they evolved a sloth like metabolism and tiny organs.

I need to compile a nature is dumb list. 

Like, bedbugs don't have vaginas and face mites have no anus.

Also, I want to point out that "survival of the fittest" just means the organism is fit enough to not die for long enough to squirt out one or more offspring. That's it. Nature's bar is REALLY LOW.

Also, just rewatched the Phantom of the Opera 2004 movie. At the end I sobbed like a baby. An ugly, ugly baby.

This was me at Moana last night.

Gave my goddamn presentation this evening and it went smooth as fuck.

Now I just have to gear up for my thesis presentation.

For unknown reasons, I love teaching but I hate presenting. I think I'm just worried when presenting to a roomful of PhDs that everyone will be like "wutever ur dumb and ur research is dumb and pointless, garter snakes whatever crazy garter snake endocrine lady".
