Thread Killer Champions: Franzbear & Moonbear

[Andy]

Well thanks mom!

 

[Moonbear]

*stares at Moonbear*

*stares at cronxeh; tickles him to make him blink*

 

[JamesU]

hmmm...

 

[Moonbear]

hmmm...

It still won't work, but at least Evo won't be bored by running out of posts to delete as non-essential.

 

[JamesU]

You know, franzbear is stil on the ground, unconsious...

 

[Moonbear]

He should wake up eventually.

 

[cronxeh]

Franzbear and his complex seizures.. its always fun to watch the dance

 

[Moonbear]

*puts on music* Dance Franzbear, dance!

 

[JamesU]

what happened to his father? did he not teach franzbear to dance?

 

[Moonbear]

He disappeared some time ago. It might have been in one of those spectacular explosions. All the dust settled and several members seem to have disappeared.

 

[JamesU]

hmmm.../...l.../.;mjknj vm

Uh oh, the thread monster has yomamma! That's clearly a cry for help. Aww...he'll be missed, just like all the others.

 

[JamesU]

you're not getting me that easily! bartholemew can't do nut'in'

 

[Mk]

Well, the thread was inactive for 5.5 hours.

 

[JamesU]

stupid MK...

 

[Moonbear]

Franzbear, I've got the next version of the ejector seat ready to try. Hop in! Yes, it's a convertible. Yes, I have the top open. Geez, it sounds like you don't trust your mom.

Here, let me help strap you in. Ready? Set? Go!

rrrrrRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRUMBLE...
BLAM!

SPLAT!

sizzzzzle crack pop

Oh, dear, it looks like I mounted the rocket engine upside down. Better get some ice on those burns, Franzbear.

 

[JamesU]

you do not treat burns with ice. 'fight fire with fire' this was a twchnique used by ancient japaneese torurer...I mean healers!

 

[Moonbear]

Okay then, into the hot tub with Franzbear!

 

[JamesU]

fine. *puts away flamethrower*

 

[cronxeh]

I see how it is Moonbear..

 

[Moonbear]

I see how it is Moonbear..

Yep, ditch the loser and go for coffee...that's a strategy that always works for me.

 

[JamesU]

You guys have no idea of how to kill franzbear.

 

[Moonbear]

I have plenty of ideas, just none of them has worked yet.

 

[Mk]

You guys have no idea of how to kill franzbear.

The flamethrower would have worked if you had LET ME USE IT FOR ONCE! Sharing is caring!

 

[Moonbear]

Here you go MK, give the flamethrower a try.

Franzbear, do you still have your asbestos PJs?

 

[JamesU]

Maybe that will work. we can also get a mesothelioma lawsuit for $50,000

 

[cronxeh]

Oh Moonbear.. I have a quick question

howcome we can't breed a cat and a dog together to get like a catdog?

The anti-evolution crowd just doesn't get it. They don't understand what they're talking about when they say "evolution." Evolution is the change in the genetic make-up of a species over time, it requires as its foundation the possibility that genetic make-up can change. Cross-breeding requires evolution to be valid to exist. Domestic dogs, cats, many breeds of cows, etc., are human "cross-breed" creations. If evolution were not possible, they would not exist.

Humans may not have evolved from apes. In the last ten years science itself has started to tear apart that chain. But evolution itself, as a science, is as close to fact as anything in science gets.

After reading that I just got this funny urge to ask him the question that a creationist will SURELY ask: "howcome you can't breed a cat and a dog to get a catbreed?"

Oh and I read http://www.madsci.org/posts/archives/jun2000/961007568.Ge.r.html

But I still want a bit more advanced of an answer

 

[Mk]

Here you go MK, give the flamethrower a try.

Ow. It is hot. Maybe I'll let it cool down first.

 

[Moonbear]

Oh Moonbear.. I have a quick question

howcome we can't breed a cat and a dog together to get like a catdog?

If two species are too genetically different, the chromosomes of the gametes just won't pair up properly during fertilization (the enzymes on the sperm that help it penetrate the egg might also not work; as well as the mother's body might mount an immune response either to the sperm or the zygote formed from the fusion with the foreign sperm).

Ow. It is hot. Maybe I'll let it cool down first.

Wuss! You'll never kill Franzbear if you can't handle a super-heated flame thrower!

 

[cronxeh]

I wonder if SARS is a result of Chinese government's biological program of virus crossbreeding

 

[Moonbear]

More likely the result of overcrowding in agricultural areas.

 

[cronxeh]

Such complex evolution in a short period of time? I'd run some probabilities on that, but don't have the background for now.

The Chinese were, after all, third to go to Space, and by now should be undergoing the same US-Russia bio weapons research race.

I don't see the problem ethics-wise for them either (not that I see one for myself) - their officially Atheist state is a perfect ground for any revolutionary, and controversial researchers

 

[JamesU]

...

 

[Moonbear]

Geez, if you're finally going to climb the down escalator up to the 9000th reply (however temporary it may be), you could at least be more eloquent, yomamma.

 

[Moonbear]

Such complex evolution in a short period of time? I'd run some probabilities on that, but don't have the background for now.

I don't know enough about SARS, per se, but a lot of nasty viruses have arisen as zoonotic diseases coming from overcrowded areas where just a small mutation allows it to jump from animals (chickens or pigs mostly) to humans and then once in humans, the overcrowding makes it easy to keep spreading.
