Lounge Of Geriatric Sloths? - Sept. 06, 2002
Lounge of geriatric sloths? Not a den of thieves? Then what? A lounge of geriatricsloths? The courts bear the burden of truth, Mr. Davide. Reform the courts!
http://www.inq7.net/opi/2002/sep/06/letter_3-1.htm

Extractions: While he may be correct that accusations should be based on solid facts, he should not ignore the fact that the general perception remains that the courts are indeed corrupt. Indeed, the suspicion that court decisions are prone to undue influence is not attributed to the lower courts alone, but extends to the justices of the Supreme Court. In light of this "reasonable doubt" about the courts' credibility, Mr. Davide should not ask people for proof of corruption; he should instead show proof that our current system makes it hard for judges/justices to abuse their authority and render biased judgments. If he can't do so, then he's wasted time crossing swords with detractors. Moreover, notwithstanding the issue of corruption, there's the issue of the courts' notoriety in taking their sweet time in handing down decisions. How does the Chief Justice react to this issue? Will he still bother to ask for solid proof that the courts in this country dispense "delayed justice"? I think all in this country, down to a man, are unanimous in saying that the judiciary has failed us in this respect.

Extractions: Ground sloths are large, extinct relatives of the modern tree sloths. Fossils of these bizarre animals were first discovered in South America, and had been studied by European scientists, including Georges Cuvier The North American ground sloths were poorly known until Joseph Leidy published "A Memoir of the Extinct Sloth Tribe of North America." in 1855 . This 68 page article provided a detailed summary of the current state of knowledge at that time regarding the North American species. It also provided the first detailed description of the best known species, Megalonyx jeffersonii (Jefferson's ground sloth) Claw and finger bones from the front limb of Megalonyx jeffersoni . This image is a detail of a lithograph containing other bones from this ground sloth. Click here or on the bones to view the full lithograph.

http://www.angelfire.com/mo2/animals1/mammal/armadillo.html

Extractions: Order Xenarthra (a.k.a Edentata) Xenarthrans, also known as edentates, comprise a small group of some of the more unusual mammals. They are, for the most part, insectivores and herbivores, and are either terrestrial or arboreal in nature. They are found in the warmer climates of South America and North America, being found in Mexico and southern US in North America. Edentates usually lack incisors or canines, and of those that have them their molars lack enamel. Their teeth are held in by a single root each. Edentates have small brains. Anatomically, they have between 5-9 cervical vertebrae, whereas most other mammals have 7. Today, there are 29 species in 4 families; according to the fossil record there were at one time 12 families comprised of animals such as glyptodonts and giant ground sloths. The present-day families are: Dasypodidae (armadillos) 20 spp
Wazoo! And Sloths...
sloths spend most of their lives hanging upsidedown from tree branches;they eat, sleep, mate, and give birth upside-down in the trees.
http://www.angelfire.com/ab6/ku_oi/sloth.html

Extractions: Just another Sloth... The sloth is a slow-moving mammal that lives in trees. Sloths spend most of their lives hanging upside-down from tree branches; they eat, sleep, mate, and give birth upside-down in the trees. They hold onto tree branches with strong, curved claws that are on each of their four feet. Greetings all. Since this is the discussion forum for anniverseries and such, I'd like to talk about my death, which has become oh-so-organized. I've calculated my life expectancy to be ninety years old, but I know for sure that I will die at 36 years of age. So, I've decided that I age in sloth years (sloth years because I am a sloth-human hybrid, it's a rather long and pointless story). I age 2 1/2 years for every human year, so when I die at 36 I will be 90 years old in sloth years, that way everything works out. I'm going to die in a dramatic swordfight atop the City Hall building of my town. 21 human years left.

Extractions: Sloths by: Jim Sloths have many unusual physical characteristics. They are slow moving creatures, and are only two feet long and one foot wide. These animals are dark brown in color, but they have green algae growing in their hair. As herbivores, Sloths actually only use their five inch claws to hang and eat, not for self defense! The gentle mammals of the rainforest are truly unusual. Sloths have some rare predators, like the jaguar. The more extreme predators are ocelots, anacondas, harpy eagles, and crocodiles. The main enemy is the human, by destroying their habitat. These are the main predators and other danger the sloth has to face. Did you know that a sloth can go one week without urinating? The Giant Ground Sloth can grow up to the size of a elephant, but they became extinct one million years ago. Reports Rice Lake's Home Page Centennial ISD #12

Extractions: A look at the sloths from Costa Rica and other various sloth essentials Most people are familiar with the word sloth in terms of laziness. This term comes from a resident of the neotropics, the sloth, due to its slow movement. The sloth usually moves less then 125 feet per day (Sloth, 2001). A possible explanation for its slowness is that the sloth comes from the order Edentata. A characteristic of animals from the order of Edentata, which helps contribute to the sloth to be slothful, is a low metabolic rate and body temperature; the slothÕs body temperature is around 91 degrees F (Sloth, 2001). There are two families of sloths. Two toed sloths (2 species) belong to family Megalonychidae, genus Choloepus and the three-toed sloth (3 species) fall in to family Bradypodidae, genus Bradypus (Enchanted, 2001; Reid, 1997). The two families of sloths are only distantly related. The two-toed sloth is of the same family of the extinct giant ground sloth. Regardless of what family the sloths come from, they share many similar features such as being arboreal (Emmons, 1997). General Sloth Characteristics Long limbs, short bodies and a very short or no tail are characteristic of the sloth. Long, curved claws enable the sloth to hang upside down from trees without using their muscles. This helps them to use less energy (Reid, 1997). The sloth will climb tree branches hanging upside down and in a hand over hand manner. Since they spend most of their life inverted, their shaggy fur is arranged to lay flat from the belly to the back of the head (Emmons, 1997). In addition, the liver, stomach, spleen and pancreas are in different positions due to the sloth spending most of its life upside down (Parker, 1990).

Extractions: The Guardian After years of prevarication, you have finally grabbed the bull by the horns and dumped your lousy bank for a new one promising better interest rates and lower costs. You have been told that new technology will make the process hassle-free, and you sit back happy in the knowledge that all will be sorted in a matter of days. Except the reality turns out to be very different. On the eve of the launch of an automated current account switching service - it is due to kick off on Monday - which is designed to banish the manual transfer of banking information and replace it with a hi-tech electronic alternative, two banks are warning that customers could still face huge delays. Figures released this week by Abbey National and Halifax report that while the big four high street banks have cleaned up their act and are processing direct debit transfers more efficiently, it is the companies from which direct debits originate that are now at fault for slowing the process down. Abbey says it has "named and shamed" some of the worst offenders. Top of the list they say, is the AA, which takes a staggering 14 days on average to transfer direct debits. Close behind are other major direct debit originators including BT Cellnet, the TV Licence Agency and NTL, which take up to 11 days. The recommended industry standard is three days.

They are acutally quite common, but they move so slowly in the trees that they are much more difficult to find than the monkeys. Fortunately if you are lucky enough to encounter a sloth, you will have no trouble taking pictures of it! The sloths of Costa Rica live a relaxed life. With few natural predators and a supply of all the leaves they can eat, they have it made in the treetops. Their biggest problem is the destruction of their habitat by humans. If you are a sloth, you have trouble getting out of the way when your forest is being cut down!

Sloths The Slowest Mammals, Did Not Evolve. They Were Created By God.
sloths did not evolve. sloths move so slowly that even at top speed they reachlittle more than one kilometer an hour (less than one mile per hour).
http://www.users.bigpond.com/rdoolan/sloth.html

Extractions: Sloths did not evolve. They were created by God. The tropical forests of South and Central America are the home of the sloth (rhymes with oath ). The sloth is the slowest mammal in the world. Its bodily functions are so slow that it comes down to the ground to relieve itself only once a week. The sloth is about the size of a small dog, but spends its entire existence hanging upside down from tree branches. It has stiff brownish hair and long claws that it uses as hooks. Sloths move so slowly that even at top speed they reach little more than one kilometer an hour (less than one mile per hour). They are of two types: the slow two-toed sloth, and the even slower three-toed sloth. These creatures react so little that you could fire a gun beside a sloth's head and all it would do is turn slowly and blink. American naturalist William Beebe once followed a sloth for a week in the forest. He said it spent 10 hours resting, 11 hours feeding, 18 hours moving slowly, and 129 hours sleeping! There are no known fossils of today's small tree sloths, so evolutionists don't have an ancestor for them. And the fossils of their cousins, the extinct ground sloths, give no indication that they are descended from any other creature either.
