How come weird is spelt wrong at the top of this thread? (XD)
And another... "Hey, my neon Zebra Norns are green and red. That would be great for Christmas time, wouldn't it?"

I am sitting in front of a computer. What is a computer? Would a 15th century man attempt to define computer? What would he define? What would happen if you gave Galileo a computer? Or Abraham Lincoln? Would he emancipate the slaves faster? How is it that we got to the point where we are smart enough to attempt to figure out the world that gave us us? How is it that life started? I wonder why people don't see what a miracle this is, the very fact that life began from the primordial soup, as a single cell, and that cell mutated, and each cell mutated until there was a fish, and there was an dinosaur, and a mammoth, and then apes swinging in the trees suddenly got the bright idea to sharpen those rocks they kept throwing around and get some bigger game than insects. And the very fact that at this point, we are intelligent enough to look back at the world and the stars and to trace our steps back to that first cell, that's the real miracle.

masochism is a mark of true intelligence. or conciousness at least. the ability to enjoy pain is unknown outside of humans.

If I went to the Otherworld in Silent Hill, what would I see?
You have to be honest with yourself when you are writing. If that leads to somewhere unexpected then perhaps you really needed to go there.

Why did spring rain re-post what I said on the first page?
Are my recent dreams trying to tell me something (3 total dreams as of now, from the past month or so)?

"I think throwing the future is amazing, too. Throwing any kind of intangible concept is quite a feat."
Ghosthande that made me chuckle. Remarking on the bizarre in a serious manner struck me as absurdly funny.
@Karias, yes on the same thought why do people who can't bear to see an animal slaughtered eat meat? Domestic animals don't even know what happened.
And why has weird become almost a synonym of strange? |

^Because, Weird and Strange are synonyms for:

Karias, people don't want to know where their food comes from, because, well, if they knew what was in certain food, they would be so disgusted, they might faint, or puke, or something along those lines.
Apparently, a large amount of the food the majority of the world eats, has tree bark in it, most don't know it!
If you ever read the ingredients, you may find 'added cellulite' or something like that, well, cellulite, means tree bark (of some type, usually cooked/prepared).
Also, some people don't want to know that certain organs go into their food from animals, and some don't want to know what part of the animal is used.
A large amount of people would be shocked to find out that some of the food that they're eating, has you-know-what organs from certain animals, well, not all of it is used I'm guessing, just certain parts of those organs, or a small amount of the organ.

^ like the fact that they use intestines to make sausage sometimes. Although I think I know what you're really talking about, and after having watched certain Chinese cooking shows I wouldn't want to eat that organ either.
IMO, if you're going to kill an animal for food, it's better to eat all of it than to let parts go to waste, or else you're basically wasting the animal's life. A lot of this stuff is perfectly good meat, it's just that our culture thinks it's "icky". But look at other cultures--they eat brains, eyeballs, and so on, and they don't think it's "icky". That's the price of wealth, I suppose, you end up getting picky.
Although I do have to disagree that the animal doesn't know what's happened. There's a lot of cruelty that goes on in animal product businesses. And I don't mean just the fact that they're killing them, these people do some really disgusting stuff.

To me it should be: step 1:break animal's neck step 2:process meat step 3:sell meat step 4:??? and step 5:profit.

My dad makes fresh sausage and uses pig gut. It tastes way better than the artificial casings on store bought stuff.

Yeah there can be lots of cruelty in handling food animals, like those tiny pens for pigs and chooks.
I just had a strange thought: what kind of person thought iron would make the absolute perfect thread to weave their clothes? The benefit is obvious but... why? |

you know what's a cool mnemonic for weird that i learned in elementary school? we-are-weird. so you know that weird is spelled wEIrd instead of the other way around. try it. just think we are weird whenever you go to spell weird and you'll be spelling it right in no time.
mnemonic, isn't that a cool word? sometimes i get words or phrases stuck in my head instead of songs, and it'll just swirl round and round until i find something to do with it, like mnemonic is now doing. does that count as a strange thought?

When I took Latin, I learned the greatest mnemonic device for remembering the verb endings. You sing the endings, (o, s, t, mus, tis, nt) to the tune of the Seven Dwarves' song in Disney's Snow White. I've never forgotten the endings!

What would happen if I turned out to be god? Or what if it turned out that I had some sort of godly likeness, like, being me, but I'm a fragment of the entirety/entity, that is god!/?
Heh, it'd sure be funny, an agnostic being god, or a part of god, heh, it would be so much funnier if I was a full on athiest!

Isn't being agnostic where you believe you cannot know God? So if an agnostic was God, they could never know thyselves, or they would disappear in a puff of logic! XD

maybe when we die we become gods and the god many people beleive in is just another dead person from another universe ruled by a dead person. I beleive that if the christian/jewish/muslim god is real, he/she/it is conducting an experiment in free will with us.
