Crusty, my super intelligent (?) Friend,
Since you are convinced that neither I, nor the dictionaries, know the meaning of "life" and "species" -- suppose YOU give us the correct definitions.
Whoa, what happened? I believe I just saw Crusty ducking behind the bushes -- waiting for one of his other non-believing comrades to answer for him. That way we will not see all the egg on that crusty looking face!
Bless your little "DUH!" heart!
Bill
