seaturtlehorsesnake Posted May 6, 2017 #42 Share Posted May 6, 2017 there is a common urban legend that states that harvestmen incredibly venemous but have fangs too short to puncture skin. this is not true, they aren't even venemous at all. they also want to hug you, all the time 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Africa, it is less. That's because Neanderthal (the Neander valley) is in Germany, so if the Neanderthals emigrated from Africa it would probably have been generations earlier. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark One Posted May 9, 2017 #47 Share Posted May 9, 2017 In the original draft for Revenge of the Jedi(later renamed, Return of the Jedi) Leia was not Lukes sister! This makes sense when you think about it. In A New Hope how come Vader could only sense the force in Luke and yet felt nothing in Leia? Also, there was no second Death Star either. The movie was to end with Luke leaving his friends behind so he could seek out his sister and restore balance to the force - later dropped as Episode 7 by Lucas. When Lucas altered the story for ROTJ, the man who had written it (in conjunction with ESB) walked out. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see no reason he can't remain head of the Party -- a party with no or few MOPs. The way that party is structured, losing elections -- even being eliminated -- matters not so long as you have a certain core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
