I recall the Watchtower literature making reference to it. I believe they mentioned that it was rejected by scientists.

However what was actually rejected by scientists was the claim that embryos have the functional equivalent of those other creatures in their adult stage. It is still acknowledged that human and other embryos go through similar stages that the embryos (not adults) of other creatures go through.

Whale embryos begin to grow legs but then they disappear.

Chicken embryos start with fingers which then fuse together.

For a medical article on human tails see this PDF .

Jack Scott - Cruel-hearted

Mayor of Cordova, Alabama

.

Residents whose homes were destroyed assumed they would be able to live in one of the hundreds of long, skinny mobile homes that FEMA is providing as temporary housing for tornado victims. After all, the Cordova Police Department, a pharmacy, a bank and City Hall all have moved into similar trailers since the storm.

But the city enacted a law three years ago that bans the type of mobile homes provided by FEMA, called single-wide trailers. Older single-wide mobile homes were grandfathered in under the law and double-wide mobile homes are still allowed, Scott said, but new single-wides aren't allowed and a tornado isn't any reason to change the law, even temporarily.

The city's stance prompted an outcry that's not getting any quieter, especially with other cities with similar laws granting waivers. About 200 people attended a community meeting last night where some tried to shout down Scott.

"There are trailers all over here but (Scott) wants to clean all the trash out. He doesn't like lower-class people," said Harvey Hastings.

Oh yes, that is ACTUALLY him.

Do I smell the faint whiff of irony?

If this were a movie they could not have picked out a better looking actor for his role.
