I would consider that curious rather than gullible. "Gullible" is agreeing to marry a second time. It seemed like a good idea at the time ;-) My curiosity regards the dung beetle. If you live in dung, eat dung, roll dung into balls or bury dung, just what are your navigational needs? Your next meadow-muffin treasure is just a plop away. It seems an olfactory system would suffice. On 8/29/2015 11:37 PM, Noell Wilson wrote: > Being sort of gulible, I ordered "20 optical rough calcite mini rough > crystals" so I could play Viking.
