The Malthusian Tragedy of the Kaffir Lily Riddle Commons
“We must all understand that the most potent weapons of war are the penis and the womb. Therefore, if you cannot convince a group to control its population by discussion, debate, intelligent analysis etc., you must consider their action in using the penis and the womb to increase population an act of war.”
–-- Jason G. Brent, Attorney and author of Humans: An Endangered Species
“With complete freedom in reproduction, conscientious people will be eliminated.”

French Riddle of the Lily Pond: Understanding Exponential Growth  In this riddle, the lily pond has a potentially virulent lily that apparently will double in size each day. If the lily grows unchecked it will cover the entire pond in 30 days, choking off all other forms of life in the water by the time it covers the entire pond. If a skeptic waited until 50% of the pond was covered before taking any remedial action to save the pond, when would he act? The answer: on the 29th day of the month! But by then, it would be too late. [See also: World Pop.
