Pat hasn't even managed to come up with a *non-bipedal* mammal
that made the transition to aquaticness that has the slow
reproductive rate of chimps or gathering-hunting humans and is
about the same size. The only time he tried he came up with
something that whose present-day descendents reproduce at nearly
twice the rate and was *3 METERS* long. (I'm sure the local NBA
expansion team, the Toronto Raptors, would like to meet all those
nine and three-quarter foot high people Pat apparently knows.)
