Será, talvez, da idade... (ii)

Leio na página 7 do DN de ontem esta declaração de Almeida Santos:
"Cristo teria sido maçon, do PS e pela dissolução [da AR] neste momento."
Mais uma excelente contribuição para a já imensa galeria de declarações inqualificáveis proferidas por tudo quanto é geronte, e não só, da sua área política, nestes últimos dias.
"In North America the black bear was seen by [Samuel] Hearne swimming for hours with widely open mouth, thus catching, like a whale, insects in the water. Even in so extreme a case as this, if the supply of insects were constant, and if better adapted competitors did not already exist in the country, I can see no difficulty in a race of bears being rendered, by natural selection, more and more aquatic in their structure and habits, with larger and larger mouths, till a creature was produced as monstrous as a whale."
Darwin, Charles; "The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection" (On the origin and transitions of organic beings with peculiar habits and structure)
