I feel like I'm in the presence of a zen master! My mind is perplexed but in a strangely satisfying way.

Deer are stupid - they get shot - but they also kill people, by jumping out in front of cars and motorcycles - my brother lost his best friend to a stupid, fucking deer...

I don't know if I'd
be wandering around the woods in the middle of an archery hunt.  No offense, but people have been shot in the face in more conspicuous places.  Take care Mademoiselle

Actually they haven't been using psychadelic orange long enough

for natural selection to have an effect.

Hell they haven't even lost the gene that makes them stare at oncoming headlights.

Hmmm, good question

Maybe because the process usually takes thousands of thousands of thousands of years?

Or maybe... that whole evolution thing is just crap

I saw a sign yesterday by a house surrounded by car wrecks

It said

"Steve's auto orphanage!

Mademoiselle...
I feel your pain........it takes away all of the fun when you have to explain every thing.......I thought it was an excellent quip!

Mademoiselle...
I know, it was a lame joke. No, really, if they were orange, they would stand out like a sore thumb and be even easier targets.  Just because you are wearing orange, doesn't mean you might not get shot.

Is hunting still legal?

Why should they evolve?

They're afraid Bambi will call the Fashion Police!

BTW, I like your chameleon refutation better than your original. Just my personal opinion. Moon

Okay, Mademoiselle, since you ask, here is how it went. I started typing my answer before you posted your "refutation" (which was good but, which BTW, left only implicit what I was saying). Then, I was interrupted by a 15 minute telephone call. Then, I came back to the screen (which was still open to my unposted comment but, which in fact predated your "refutation") and I hit spellcheck and then I posted. So, in the natural order of things, it arrived after your "refutation". I suppose, I could have copied my answer, closed the comment screen, checked the comments to see if you had yet refuted Whysper and only then posted my incisive comment. But, I don't see that it matters anyway since you did not make my point explicitly.  Some on Blogit are not as sharp as you and I. You have to spell it out for them. Moon

posted by magic_moon on October 6, 2007 at 5:50 PM | link to this | reply

Um, I already did refute it, Moon.

Besides, chameleons can't detect color, either, and that doesn't stop them from "blending in".

I really shouldn't comment, bandana ...
Seeing as I once got suspended from school for suggesting a creative way to "thin out" the homeless population.

Good question! And while Whysper's answer looks most logical and scientific, being a lawyer and all (and we never concede a point - ever - unless it is a tactic to gain something else) I am now going to refute it. Ready? Here goes: Even color blind people wear orange clothes. So, there. Now back to your query. Very good question!! Moon

plus, that would also make war seem pretty silly.
Everyone would probably just pretend to die and then get up and have a big laugh about it.

What about those human animals living in the
ghettos? Do you think they will eventually adapt to bullets? Then wouldn't it be fun if we could shoot these people just for the hell of it, and everybody's back being friends afterwards!

posted by bandanafish on October 6, 2007 at 5:26 PM | link to this | reply

What difference does that make, Whysper?

Because the hunters aren't.

What color clothes do they warn you to wear (to avoid being shot/hit by an arrow), food4thought?

posted by Mademoiselle on October 6, 2007 at 5:07 PM | link to this | reply

Orange???
Fur what?
