When is alarming................NOT !!!

Ole' Pecoz came across this report in yesterdays London Daily Mail......

Human race will 'split into two different species'

By Niall Firth
The human race will one day split into two separate species, an attractive, intelligent ruling elite and an underclass of dim-witted, ugly goblin-like creatures, according to a top scientist.
100,000 years into the future, sexual selection could mean that two distinct breeds of human will have developed.
The alarming prediction comes from evolutionary theorist Oliver Curry from the London School of Economics, who says that the human race will have reached its physical peak by the year 3000.

Well now, I get plumb alarmed when a drunk driver is weavin' down the road, and a little alarmed when a new Congress convenes. I even get alarmed when my car don't start on the first try ---- but I'll be damned if I can get excited about the possibility of a human subspecies 100,000 years from now! I don't even buy green bananas.... (sorry 'bout that old chestnut)

Kind of makes a guy wonder who pays for these reports, why this theorist couldn't come up with some theory that might help the folks on this planet in this century, why they wasted ink and newspaper space? Also kinda wonder, who is gonna keep notes and grade this fella on his predictions in the year A.D. 102,007?
For those of you who are younger'n I am and are worried about the year 102,007, here is the link to the article: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/technology/technology.html?in_article_id=489653&in_page_id=1965
