My answer to THE EVIL QUESTION:Xanthopan morgani praedicta is a moth discovered in 1903 in Madagascar. In his Origin of Species, Darwin described the orchid
Angreacum Sesquipidales. He noted its white, star-like flowers
were only fragrant at night, and that its nectar was to be found at
the bottom of a foot long spur. To others' incredulity, he went on
to predict that, because of these features, it must be polllinated by
an unknown moth with a tongue of approximately the same length as the spur. Sadly Darwin never saw proof of this theory, but years later such a moth was discovered and named Xanthopan morgani praedicta in his honor.MEIN GOTT! HE'S A GENIUS!
You can google search it. That's what I did, and you can DEFINATELY find it.
So, technically speaking, it's not quite so evil...:/

Re: Ninja's Puzzles!
Most of his questions are from QI. I got the Mr. Chicken one from that.
Boy let me tell you what:
I bet you didn't know it, but I'm a fiddle player too.
And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you.

Statement:
That is what I expected
Chaos is found in greatest abundance wherever order is being saught. It always defeats order, because it is better organized.
