Here's the http edited, so you'll have to fix it by removing the spaces (2) I inserted, then copy & paste it into your browser window:

http: //www. cnn.com/2009/TECH/science/01/29/lizard.reproduces/index.html

That's really interesting about the tuatara's evolution, siz! I'm glad you added that link.

Well, I'm going to have to pass my BP down to one of my kids!

It is pretty cool about the tuatara, though, isn't it?!
