To David Froehlich;

How would you explain the following;

1) The fact that humans and elephants are the only land animals that
shed tears when emotionally disturbed, and all the other animals that do
this are marine.

2) Brain growth requires adequate amounts of Omega 3 fatty acids in the
diet, and these acids are common in the marine food chain but rare in the
terrestrial one.
