[at-l] Let's Get Stupid

[greyowl at rcn.com (greyowl@xxxxxxx)]

Actually read an interesting article just a few days.  A 
group of British Scientist have stated that in 100 yrs there 
is a 50/50 chance than mankind will be exterminated.  Poof-no 
more.  How?  Meteor, weather change, nuclear war, disease, 
etc.  When one thinks about it, it is time for evolution to 
go to the next logical step.
