    What do you think? Is this what we've been looking for?

    There is no 'missing link'.
    The missing link is either an over-simplification of a children's explanation of evolution or a creationist device to attack it (depending on how charitable you feel)

    You mean that there are thousands of missing links?

    I would like to apply for the position of Missing Link. What's the salary, by the way?

    Leaves and fruit, and the occasional insect and small animal.

    The salary is two horses, some rope, and a few guys handy with their shovels. The only reason people want a missing link is so they can see who makes the strongest rope.

    Yes, that's a better way of putting it: there's always another missing link.

    Even if there's no missing link, it's a very useful concept!!
