Where did the simile 'as wise as an owl ' originate?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is believed that in the first instance, Archaeopteryx was the first bird, some 150 million years ago. Along the way, owls evolved as their own species, being found to live some 60 million years ago, if not sooner. Owls were more successful than other birds, filling every role of birds as we know them today, until birds became more successful and the owls started dying out, leaving just two main families, the Strigidae ( all owls except Barn owls and Grass owls ) and the then more common Tytonidae ( Barn owls and Grass owls).

Gradually, the typical owls ( Strigidae ) over took the Tytonidae, the Strigidae became the more common family, some 200 different species, the Tytonidae have around 17 different species.

Can a half brother and sister have a child together?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

They "can", but the question needs to be "should they"? The answer is "no". First of all, they are related, so it is most likely illegal. Secondly, the baby would have more of a chance of having birth defects. Also, if the child knows that his parents are brother and sister, it might just have psychological effects on him/her.

AnswerYes! they can. and why shouln't?.

If your fathers are different then you two not related. Since in our patriarchal society the family-line we consider is fathers' side. If your father is same but mothers are different then you are related to one other as half-siblig, and can still marry with your own will. Since you are not fully genetically related. It requires only one thing from your part, that is "a firm decision to go for it", readiness to "face all consequences" and "a strong vow to make it successfull".

Answer from Guduru.Adi

Well if your a christian then you believe that when moses repopulated the earth, they would have undoubtedly have repopulated with inbreds....1st cousins, 2nd cousins, and prob at first close relatives such as half brothers and sisters...The same goes for Adam and Eve in the beginning until now. I know now from going back so far in my family tree, that most everyone is born from an inbred descendant; it's plain fact regardless. In my opinion if your going to be insufferable about social taboo find you something else that makes you happy, instead of destroying the happiness of others. It's just like the christian communities trying to change the laws on gay marriage running overtop of every religion that speaks out..... Our laws say we have the right to religion and not to be imposed with religious prejudice views on them.I can call our country the land of the land of limited oppportunity and freedom. It is so wrong were watching our ally countries like the UK give better freedoms to their people, while our fed. govt. tells us were not giving you those freedoms

What is unusual about the way marsupials give birth?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The differences are that placental have embryos that develop inside the mother body. The embryo grows in the placenta, which attaches the embryo to the uterus. The placenta carry's food and water to the mothers blood and carries waste from the embryo. A female monotreme lays eggs then uses energy to keep the eggs warm. She feeds them milk when they hatch. Of course, monotremes do not have nipples, so the babies lick the milk from the skin and hair around their mothers mammary glands. Finally, marsupials give birth to live young. Until big enough, marsupial babies or newborns are carried in a mothers pouch for several months.

How does arachne feel about her weaving skills?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Arachne believed her weaving skills to be as good as Athena's. Athena heard about this and came down to challenge Arachne to a contest to see who could weave the better blanket/tapestry/piece of fabric. The story goes that Arachne's weaving was equal to that of Athena's, but the story that her piece depicted was offensive to the Gods and therefore Athena turned Arachne into a spider so that she could spend the rest of her days weaving webs.
