In summary, Franzbear is the most prolific thread killer in the forum. He has killed at least 12 threads and is likely responsible for 21 more. His ability to kill threads is not a direct outcome of the evidence (number of last posts). You have to at least factor in the total number of posts by each person (posts in GD) to get a more accurate representation of the killer instinct. Franz and Moonie have so many posts here, they are more likely to be the winning killers. You have to divide the number of kills by the total number of posts during the same period to get a corrected distribution.

Dinosaurs are extinct. The dinosaurs suffered some catastrophe. The dinosaurs died suddenly. The dinosaurs froze due to a sudden drop in temperature. The dinosaurs were attacked by a lethal virus. The sun's rays were blocked. The Earth's atmosphere was filled with dust due to the impact of a comet.

They better not find any of Danger's or Artman's genes! :-p

They said the study is being headed up by Utah State. :rolleyes: Maybe this is another of those Mormon geneology studies?

Actually, it'll be conducted in 4 countries, U.S., Britain, New Zealand and Australia (those would be the major sheep producing countries).

We should stop going places. We should develop hydrogen-powered cars. We should go on driving gasoline-powered cars. We should destroy the ozone layer.

Well, I'm off the hook then. Brewnog and Artman might have some explaining to do.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Beauty is objective. Beauty is observable. Beauty can be seen.

The defendant refuses to take the stand. The defendant confesses. The defendant is guilty.

God's existence is necessary. God's existence is impossible. God's existence is contingent. God's existence is a matter of metaphysical luck. The concept of an omnipotent and perfectly good being is coherent.

ow! If you're cleaning your ear with a q-tip and you hit something solid, you should probably stop, right?

Generally, that would be a good idea. And if you see the Q-tip coming out the other side, you know you've gone too far. :eek:

Only if:

Mary is in much pain. Mary lacks the capacity to make a rational decision about ending her life. Mary is in no position to know what she will want when she is in much pain. Mary has no right to end her life. Mary has no right to die with dignity.

Wow, I had heard that New Zealand has several times the amount of sheep that it has human population. I was looking for information on it and found out that New Zealand has a problem with sheep belching. :smile:

Looks like they have more than 10 times the number of sheep than they do people. And 90% of their methane emissions are from sheep and bovine belches.

If you've ever been in close proximity to a sheep belch, you'd fully understand the severity of this problem!

The eye-for-an-eye principle is interpreted literally. The eye-for-an-eye principle is interpreted figuratively. The state must do to criminals what they have done to their victims. The state must torture torturers. The state need only mete out punishments that are proportional to the crime. The state is free to give murderers life imprisonment rather than the death penalty. It is immoral to torture torturers.

Danger would fit right in down in New Zealand.

God is in time. God's knowledge of the future is a prediction based on the past and present. Humans have free will. The future acts of humans are infallibly predictable based on the past and present. God can know the future free acts of his creatures.

Young smokers identify with their future selves. Young smokers are irrational. Young smokers know that smoking causes cancer. Young smokers act without due regard for another person. Young smokers are immoral.

I'm not sure how the US medical community does things. Up here, the consensus among doctors is that you should never put anything smaller than your elbow into your ear.

Your head must be a lot narrower than it looks in your picture. Aren't Q-Tips like 4" long?

:bugeye: That's almost as much as the combined clientele of every Taco Bell in North America!

Moonbear said:
And Mary had a little lamb.
A lobster and some prunes;
A pint of beer, a piece of pie
And then some macaroons.
It made the greedy waiters grin
To see her order so.
And when they carried Mary out
Her face was white as snow.

I'm usually at the other end of the sheep, but that has drawbacks of its own.

Probably not, but I'll pack the gumboots just in case. They might be skittish around foreigners.

Are the boots for you or the sheep?

Now that I think about it, when she gets excited she kind of sounds like she's bleating.

Could be a solution to the world's energy problems. It'll finally give all those hampsters a break.

Both. That's the whole point of them. You tuck their back legs in so they can't run off.

Huckleberry said:

Yeah.:rolleyes:

I haven't had the opportunity to see her excited, but one can hope.

Is that a little animal that you put your dirty laundry in?

And does anybody actually follow that advice?

Not really, but I've seen a couple of dislocations suffered by people who tried too hard.

At least by pulling that muscle trying to lick my elbow, I learned not to try this one. :smile:

Quit trying to get your limbs more flexible and work on stretching your tongue. It could help you out with your clinic duties as well.

I can envision Hypatia stalling out on that post for half an hour while she tries to figure out what the joke is. :biggrin: (Love you, Hypatia, but your spelling is scary. :-p )

I was sort of wondering if Huck would realize the mistake himself. I think it's a regional thing, because I grew up around people who pronounced the name of the critters hamPster as well, so spell it that way too (there's still a subtle "p" in my pronunciation of the word too). Hookt on fonix werkt for me. :biggrin:

I've heard a couple of people say it that way, but never seen them spell it like that. It's like those twits down in your country who pronounce 'aunt' like 'ont'. Who the hell are they trying to impress? It's 'ant', dammit. (Although I like Andy Griffith's 'Aint'.)

I don't really care how subtle your peeing is, unless you're in the same room with me.

What's odd is I use both pronunciations, "ont" and "ant" depending on which aunt I'm referring to. "ont" is a New England pronunciation, and my family came from Maine and Massachusettes, but I grew up in NJ, where that variant dies out, so heard both and used both. I remember my mom laughing at me when I wrote a letter to one of my "Ants," and that's how I spelled it. (Yeah, one of the required "thank-you" letters mom made me write for every gift I got.)

After multiple Q-tips are lost, they will eventually line up and begin to exit the other side. :bugeye: It a tricky maneuver, but not unlike cleaning a gun barrel.

You know an awful lot about where to find sheep, Huckleberry. :rolleyes: Yes sir, quite a lot. :rolleyes:
