I'm sure that many of my True Christian™ brethren and sistren will agree that liberal doses of castor oil is an integral part of any schedule of rigorous fasting, prayer and purging. But did you ever wonder what the word "castor oil" means? It means literally "beaver juice". Castor is beaver in Latin.
From this etymology: Modern castor oil is first recorded 1746; it is made from seeds of the plant Ricinus communis but supposedly possesses qualities (and taste) similar to those of beaver juice, and thus so named.
So what it is about beavers and their juice? Take a look at this old manuscript. A hunter and two dogs have caught a beaver - and the beast bites off its own testicles:
Since ancient times, beavers' testicles have been valued for making medicine. When the beaver is unable to escape from the hunter, it will bite off its testicles and throw them to the hunter.
Pliny writes in his Natural History 8.47: The beavers of the Euxine, when they are closely pressed by danger, themselves cut off the same part, as they know that it is for this that they are pursued. This substance is called castoreum by the physicians.
Or take a look at this old manuscript: There is an animal called the beaver, which is extremely gentle; its testicles are are highly suitable for medicine. Physiologus says of it that, when it knows that a hunter is pursuing it, it bites off its testicles and throws them in the hunter's face and, taking flight, escapes. But if, once again, another hunter is in pursuit, the beaver rears up and displays its sexual organs. When the hunter sees that it lacks testicles, he leaves it alone.
If you peruse the unfortunately named Beaver gallery, you'll see many examples from literature. Here's one more:
So what has all this to do with evolution? Well, if you study the beaver gallery closely, you can't help noticing that these beavers look nothing like today's beavers. An EVILutionist would of course say that the beavers have EVOLVED. Isn't that just too dumb? How can beavers evolve, when they bite off their testicles?
Sometimes I wish these silly monkey worshipers would think before they present their stupid opinions and theories as facts. Do they even know how stupid they sound?
