Come to think of it, April 1st might be the perfect day to celebrate "National Atheists Day." Nothing in life is more foolish than denying the existence of God, since He has left indisputable proof!
Since we are in the laughing and enjoying a bit of jest mood, this was quite comic to my eyes.

While we're on it, Dag, I just wanted to tell you that I respect you a lot. There's a lot of points on which we disagree, but you disagree with respect and actually listen to what you are told.
So I love you, in a very platonic way [Razz]

I have to second that, Anna. Whenever I read something from Dag I disagree with I really have to stop and analyze why I disagree.

I think we agree more often than not, but when we disagree that fact alone gives me pause. His opinions are among those I respect the most.

Geez Jay, you're about as good at cracking jokes as an aging prostitute at the end of a long night of cheap sex and crack cocaine.

"For those of you easily offended, get off your high horse and laugh a little, it’s a joke!

Well, a joke with a serious twist. Something to think about."

I submit, Jay, that a joke which intentionally offends in order to give someone something to think about is not "just a joke." Give that some thought.

Seems that pretty much every joke is offensive to someone. So maybe we should outlaw jokes.

Oh well. I knew there’d be some who couldn’t take the joke. Figured it was worth it none the less. And yeah, it is intended to be more then just a joke.

If it's "more than a joke" then I guess people could be right to take it as an offense. [Big Grin]

I guess if they’re offended something in their heart is bugging them that maybe they need to think about. Good.

I'm a believer, and I felt offended on behalf of all the atheists I care for. So I guess there's nothing I should "take time to think about" except maybe how the intolerance of other believers sometimes make me embarassed to belong to their ranks.How ironic would it be if a "firm believer" like you actually made me reconsider my choices and come back to agnosticism ?

I believe Jay is a demon. Remember in "Good Omens" when Rampa actually makes more wrong in annoying a lot of people than in damnating one poor soul at a time ?

No reason to spend any time to answer this kind of thinking, I'm afraid.

Of course if you don't think it's funny there must be something wrong with you. Jeez, excuse a guy for having a sense of humor...



There are ways this could have been presented that would be funny, even to atheists. This wasn't one of them.

No, see Jay, Tom's pointing out that if I told a joke like this:

Edit: Joke removed before Tom gets after me for being mean to people again.

I wouldn't really be telling a joke, I'd be telling something that's obviously intended to be insulting. Not that I honestly think you didn't understand Tom's point, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to tell my "joke".

Either:
  1. That was the point.
  2. It's a joke about inclines and gravity rolling the egg across the street.

I really like the egg joke, but can't help but think that it must have been a pretty tough shelled egg, otherwise it would have broken.

We always have at least one break when we boil them. I think they ARE tought, but tend to have "imperfections" in their strong structures that give them a tendency to break when bumped just hard enough in the wrong (right?) place.

When they get that big they're usually green :

quote:
The most perplexing aspect of musth is the continual streaming of urine down the legs of the males. It seems incredible wasteful for gallons of liquids to flow out of an animal that spends most of its time walking between water holes. Besides the waste, there is always the risk of infection, especially seeing the penis becomes coated in an algal layer, giving it a green sheen, and resulting in the nickname of GP-syndrome, or green penis syndrome of the highest level of musth.
