And just to add another question to the flightless bird scenarios: why did God give these beautifully adapted flightless birds a wishbone? The ONLY function of the wishbone in other bird genera is as an attachment for flight muscles. Quite an odd design feature for something that was "perfectly designed" to be non-flying...

Shane: Great post. I thought you might find Steve Cook's website interesting, given your familiarity with the evolution of carnivory in plants: Vegetable Empire. Although Dr. Cook is certainly, hmm, quirky, his essay on the evolution of carnivory When Plants Kill is one of the best non-peer-reviewed articles I've read on the subject (although I DO wish he'd change the background scheme).
Enjoy!
