“Don’t just sit there like a bump on a log, Mount Taranaki!”

Liberals are noted for supporting human rights

They believe that people with disabilities should have equal labor market opportunities.

Yet, now that there is a mentally disabled guy in the White House, all they do is complain about it!

How does a species come back from extinction? That statement is as dumb as a dodo.

I’m curious how an extinct bird can evolve.

Just think what George Eyser would have achieved with two wooden legs!

They’ve gone mad in New Zealand. I’ll bet they talk to their oranges.

They can complain all they want, but it has no effect. The Republicans purchased both the House of Representatives ( they represent their own interests) and the Senate. You heard of buying a politician? The Republicans also bought the SCOTUS.

Someone get the Aldabra rail floatation devices so it can survive rising sea levels this time. Can you imagine going through evolution twice? “ Oh no! Here I am again!”

Taranaki Maunga better get to work on it’s tax returns for it is off to the hoosegow

Heck, I could win six golds if my only competition was a wooden leg.

Oh, that’s not what you meant by “with”?

So if Mount Taranaki becomes an active volcano again, can it be brought up on charges?

Pickled has reached the brain and TDS is oozing from the mouth.

Not really coming back from extinction literally. A process called Iterative evolution – A natural process of de-extinction is iterative evolution. This occurs when a species becomes extinct, but then after some time a different species evolves into an almost identical creature.

That mountain can clean up after its OWN avalanches!

so how exactly do you know it was 20,000 years ago an extinct anything was extinct…Q: do you use a foot stool, stepladder, or telescopic bucket truck to reach for your “facts”?

Great historic fact for us disabled people all around – especially deaf & blind others!

Great historic fact of the athlete with the wooden leg for us disabled people all around!!

Does the mountain pay taxes?

With a wooden leg, he really “sticks” the landing.

Taranaki Maunga can be as hot-headed as our guy in the White House.

I do wish who ever writes these comics would take English lesson.

A solar panel, a wind turbine and a hydro dam are all getting to know each other.

“What kind of music are you into?” asks the dam.

“I’m into trance”, replies the solar panel.

“Ooh, too intense for me”, dam says, “I much prefer classical melodies, maybe a little 60s soul at the weekends.”

“What about you Mr Turbine? What are you into?”

“Me?” He replies, “I’m a HUGE METAL FAN.”

Granting “human rights” to non-human anything debases the concept of human rights.

And what “responsibilities” does a mountain have?

And the lazy creature still won’t take the garbage out!
