With all due respect Ms. Wao, in as much as your monk humor was indeed quite humorous and quite fitting the situation at hand, but we must consider that this is Hawaii and yes, Puna.
As such, I think this "monk" humor is more fitting and appropriate:

So, when humankind eventually does let extinction of these spices due to its own arrogance, greed and incompetence occur, I am not worried about whatever “god” anyone thinks exists.
Nope, to me I fear that “damn alien probe” sent from billions of light years away to find out what happened!
Let’s hope future humankind has developed time travel and transparent aluminum.
If there was no "God," then there would be no monks,
Monks pray, presumably to god. Probably pray fervently if attacked by dogs. Thoughts. Prayers. You say hello, the dogs say goodbye. I don’t know why you say goodbye I say hello.

There are so many memories in this thread, although I forgot that the lead singer of Crash Test Dummies was an elf. As for monks and beer, the Belgian Trappist monks are the masters because, for whatever reason, their beer tastes terrific but is also very strong. I guess there's a reason for that, but I probably shouldn't speculate why.

Not sure if you meant that tongue in cheek, but monk seals did evolve, NOT to have defenses, because until recently they didn’t need any.
We are now their worst threat, but can also be their best defense.
Agreed, that is the point. We've evolved so quickly due to our brain that we're out-evolving everything else, but we also know we are.
