GONG!

 

times up...

 

there is no 'who'..

 

no reflector..

 

no sun..

 

no " Look what I have done! " ..

 

from some son-of-a-gun.

 

though me pappy was a pistol..

 

the nanoseconds may still be up for grabs..

 

but it's doubtful.

One answer:

 

Humans, or human beings, are bipedal primates belonging to the

mammalian species Homo sapiens (Latin: " wise man " or " knowing man " ) in

the family Hominidae (the great apes). Compared to other living

organisms on Earth, humans have a highly developed brain capable of

abstract reasoning, language, and introspection. This mental

capability, combined with an erect body carriage that frees their

upper limbs for manipulating objects, has allowed humans to make far

greater use of tools than any other species. DNA evidence indicates

that modern humans originated in Africa about 200,000 years ago, and

they now inhabit every continent, with a total population of over 6.6

billion as of 2007.

I loved the movies ANTZ. It is a story of this ant that thought of

himself as being not a drone but as some kind of ant being. Silly

ant, more silly humans.
