Household evolution by Trickster Tao

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose one inanimate object in your home.

Describe how this object evolved from an ancestor species in terms of natural selection.

COSMOGONY OF A CHESS BOARD



A naive observer, looking upon a chess board, would marvel at its elegant organization. That observer might even claim that the organization found in this board is irreducibly complex. But that observer would be an ass-hat, because frankly it is obvious that the chess board's current form can be explained by the elegant mechanism of natural selection.

Come examine the chesseological record with me.

Though i would attribute the segregation by color at the point of equilibrium to social forces.

Who's the ass hat who left out the development of Chess civilization? I want to know what happened between steps 8 and 9! That must've been some crazy shit; I mean, why are there no black-white hybrids? Heavy stuff.
