    Cup with victory in her sights, writes Rob Maul

    What does she have to do with evolution??

    You evidently know as much about evolution as you do about Tracy

    Build a nuclear power plant and you'll have an exclusion zone around it
    which can be protected biohabitat, as with many existing reactors.
