They are, as spectacular as it may sound, our distant relatives. As reviewed in a new paper in the Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics, about 398 million years ago there was a particular group of fish, the lobed-fined or sarcopterygian fish, the organisms that gave rise to our common ancestor with the dinosaurs. The fish lived in freshwater and had a series of bones in their limbs. These and other factors made them different from fish whose fins were supported by a series of spines or fine rays. Within the sarcopterygians was the ancestor of creatures that would appear at about 385 million years ago, the “fishapods” like Panderichthys and Tiktaalik.

If we're not careful, education may become cool again. I for one had a great time watching this video... and I even learned something new. What a great learning tool.

The Band's myspace page says: "The name indoorfins derived from a quip by then guitarist Tony Newman who said his endorphins were "flowing" just prior to meeting his girlfriend. the proverbial change in spelling keeps people guessing. endorphins actually translates to endogenous morphines. endo(inside) geneous(cell) morphines. this means that the body can produce its own morphine in times of overwhelming stress,good or bad. in a sense,that's what the band attempts to envoke at every gig,no matter how challenging. most crowds are a challenge,so loosen up,relax,have fun. you are responsible for your own good time."
