At BEST you're on the crew to find the one

At best

Ouch.

 

[Shawt]

Ouch.

If the one knew he was the one, then the program would have responded to the threat by now

Being "the one" would suck. I'd much prefer to be in middle management. Unaccountable, but able to live off the glory while I shuffle about trying to look important

 

[Jazny]

Yes you could. The Matrix is real. I am 'the one'.

Chief is the architect, you're just like one of the Agent Smith clones that was created to keep the Matrix (bigfooty) in order and to moderate those who get out of line by thinking for themselves (or by posting pornographic material).

When the "DRE" is removed from prostate screening procedures, will Hinkley Power stop visiting his doctor for his regular check-up as it's no longer enjoyable?

A cheer should go up around the country when men hear that a dreaded screening test for prostate cancer is on its way out. The test, known as the DRE, or the digital rectal examination, is likely to be removed from prostate cancer screening procedures in Australia. These procedures are undergoing a major overhaul. On Thursday, a new set of draft guidelines was released at the World Cancer Congress in Melbourne. They are now open for community and professional consultation.

You never had legs.

I feel so much better. Still can't reach the cab.

What is more annoying,l?? Americans or Asian Americansnumeracy.

Do you feed the cat yourself? If not that's probably half your problem. What does it do to give the impression it doesn't like you?

You know too much.

Was thinking about this earlier tonight OP.......if humans evolved from monkeys, then why do we still have monkeys?

It's just part of species divergence. It's like saying that there should only be one bird species and none before.

I was actually thinking a similar thing the other day. We are still waiting for that creature that most closely resembles a human being (every trait including thinking). We have Homo erectus and Home floresiensis, but we are still missing several species between us, which would beg the question as to how they became extinct and why we haven't found any fossils yet. Then again, both of these "closest" species are pretty bang on in terms of external features and their resemblance to Homo sapiens.

Homo erectus

Homo floresiensis


Anyway, they recently found a shellfish that had engravings on it which look to be the work of Homo erectus.

Why is there something instead of nothing?

Because nothing is required to make something.

This is freaking me out. If I have to exist, why am I conscious? Couldn't I just be like a computer program intelligently responding to stimulus in an unconscious manner? How did my consciousness arise from the interaction of lifeless particles that are merely obeying the fundamental laws of the universe?? How did that happen??

Well you are the eye of the universe really. That's what consciousness is. You are able to see creation, things, matter etc in an awareness state. If we were a computer than there would be no need for us as conscious beings.

There is good, better and best in monkey terms

Basically, we were the best monkeys. Suck on that chimpanzees

theres a school of thought that says coming down out of the trees was a bad idea...

Take air conditioning, toilets and the Internet away from those thinkers, and see how quickly they lust for the horrors of human exceptionalism

If Tom Scully doesnt get a kick for the next 2 years.
Is he the sort of recruit Richmond will target??????????
Long time reader,first time questioner.

No, we target guns like Miles and pay them minimum wage, while you shower millions on a dud like Scully.

Will there ever come a year when a top draft pick doesn't walk out on GWS?

I can do the dishes like a boss

But I do *eh em* leave some things drenched, messy, hairy and definitely sticky

No one asked about your gerbil.

Ahh okay.

When I was a kid my family cat shat in my dad's shoe. It was gold.

When I was a kid, our cat shat outside because it was an animal, and we treated it as such.

Which way does water spin down the plug hole ate the equator?

As with everywhere else on Earth, it depends on the angle of entry, and has nothing to do with the Corey Ellis Effect.

How long can you keep overdue library books before you have to accept that you've stolen them?

Are there other fundamental Laws?
How did these ones come about.

I don't know. This Susskind guy says that reality is really just a thin layer of bits of information smeared around the boundaries of space. What we experience as reality is just kind of like a hologram, it is an illusion or just a trick of perspective. We are just bits encoded in space. But how do we become conscious? How do bits of information on the plank scale interact together to become self aware??

I believe I am actually supposed to be an elf in middle earth but I somehow ended up in the wrong plane of existence I think the laws of physics there are quite different.

Maybe you are both (and more) simultaneously but your focus is just here for a bit?

A bit like barracking for more than 1 team but being retricted by the fundamental laws governing your existence to only label yourself as a supporter of one at a time.

Why do men laugh at other men when they get hit in the nuts? ......especially when we know how painful it is

 

[Bender_]

Why do men laugh at opt her men when they get hit in the nuts? ......especially when we know how painful it is

Coz it's rarely a long term injury, just 5-10 minutes at most before the pain subsides.

Also coz it's funny.
