As Christmas approaches a Komodo dragon gets ready for virgin birth

http://www.suntimes.com/news/nation/181102,CST-NWS-crack21.article

CHESTER, England -- As Christmas approaches, a virgin mother is anxiously awaiting the arrival of her offspring. She's Flora, the Komodo dragon.

In an evolutionary twist, Flora has managed to become pregnant all on her own without any male help.

''We were blown away when we realized what she'd done,'' said Kevin Buley, reptile expert.

1. As prophesied he has returneth. Let the fundies rev up their camels

and hit the trail bearing gifts for their returning hatchling.

(It may be good the Jews waited. This may be the real one).

4. A virgin, huh? They ALL say that.

Damn komono slut, if you ask me. Couldn't keep her rear legs together.

Probably wants a taxpayer-funded abortion now, too.

Harrumph!

(Yes, it's irony.)
