That would be a round of applause...

If a picture paints a thousand words, then why can't I paint you?

Quirkafleeg · 18 January, 2003, 07:23:53 PM

A. Pictures don't paint words, the're worth words... any you can't paint because you've never watched Watercolour Challange (why have they taken it off!)

Q. Will this become the longest thread?

Malchidiel · 18 January, 2003, 07:33:26 PM

Hopefully, cos that would be kinda kewl.

Would Karne be p*ssed off if it did?

karne · 18 January, 2003, 10:42:22 PM

Nope, I just want someone on this site to beat the Gallifrey One sites record. He, he, course it would be better if it was me.

Why is no one replying to my record thread?

Malchidiel · 19 January, 2003, 03:09:27 AM

Cos I've offered them sexual favours if they reply to mine.

It's black, unless you are a white witch/wizard and then it is white.

Why do chairs have four legs?

Quirkafleeg · 19 January, 2003, 04:46:48 AM

A: So you can play horsey with them

Q: Chicken or egg?

Dounreay · 19 January, 2003, 05:06:51 AM

Chicken. Better in a curry.

If we evolved a sense of humour, what advantage was it supposed to give us. If we didn't evolve it, where did it come from? (I amit this is two questions but some one has to try and re-capture the intellectual and philosophical high ground since karne came back)

karne · 19 January, 2003, 05:08:56 AM

As the egg would have had to have come from a chicken and the chicken would have to have come from an egg, most people would say errm?

I on the other hand would say that an animal that had not yet made the leap between what it was and what it would become, laid an egg which contained the next stage of it's evolutionary metamorphosis.

How can bees fly when it's theoretically impossible for them to do so?

karne · 19 January, 2003, 05:14:30 AM

Just beat me to the post there Doun (pun intended), but what exactly did you mean by:

"someone has to try and re-capture the intellectual and philosophical high ground since karne came back"

El Spurioso · 19 January, 2003, 06:19:10 AM

Question backlog clearance:

A. Sense of humour - derived as a gradual exaggeration of the 'safety' response. If a situation is scary your instinct is to run, thus preserving your life. If a situation is safe your response is pleasure, like an evolutionary reward for staying alive. Over the millenia the nature of feeling 'safe' has changed so the pleasurable reward has become attached to other conceits, like 'jokes', 'slapstick' and 'screenplays containing shields.'

A. Bees can fly because no one ever told them they shouldn't be able to.

Q. Which is a more rewarding pet - a cat, a dog, or a mutant velociraptor with velcro-attachable claws?

Queen Firey-Bou · 19 January, 2003, 06:49:06 AM

well it depends on what you want rewarding for.

at what point should someone stop collecting pets? ie should i rescue a cute homeless puppy tomorrow when ive already got 2 dogs , 2 cats, i rabbit , 1 parrokeet, 5 gerbils, 2 teens & a juve ?

You should stop collecting pets when you find numerous families and couples queing outside your home mistaking it for a zoo.

How do you get to Carnegie Hall?
