[Flying Dice]

The sun is a really, really big tanning lamp.

[Oliolli]

Evolution is a variationist theory.

I don't really see what evolution has to do with variations in usage between different speakers of a given language.

Sorry, I've only been reading The Origin of Species in Finnish, I don't know the correct word for "muunnos".

Hm. After a bit more time looking into it, did you mean 'variationalist'? I think yes, from the context. Still doesn't really give me much about what point you're trying to make, sort of like saying that the Laws of Thermodynamics are laws of physics.

There was discussion about evolution being racist. In The Origin of Species it is said that other variations (or whatever the correct word is) (an animal is born that is slightly different to the others of the species, if it is a good thing it survives and thrives, if worse it dies. In Finnish, these different specimens are called "muunnokset lajeista", variants, variations or whatever of the species) are superior to others. It is racist to think that some "races" of people are better or worse than others. Thus, the extremely failed attempt at a joke about evolution being a variationist theory.

Not sure if I explained that right.

Ah, I see. Yeah, I get it now.

Mom: "You broke my car's speakers!"

Me: "What?"

Mom: "You turned it up too loud, and now the speakers are buzzing!"

Me: "Mom, that's called bass."

Mom: ".........Never turn my stereo past 20 again!"

Well, natural evolution has all but stopped for mankind by now, since you'll survive and breed even if you're dumb as a box of rocks.

Now it's just a matter of who has more kids. Probably beautiful stupid people. And the Weasleys.

My god. Gingers.

My god. Gingers.

I used to have redish hair when I were a child.
But now, it's more of a brown hue, altough my facial hair is kind of redish/orang-y for some reason..

Ofcourse, I kind of exagurrated it for the avatar. :p
Mostly because when I made it I was not sure how to get the different color hues right and just used the basic colors.

[Vattic]

Don't tell me I'm wrong in my flat.

After being corrected over the pronunciation of corps.

Do we live on the inside or on the outside of the world?

Not a completely unfair question as people do say we live in the world but still.

Edit: fixed second quote.

[The Darkling Wolf]

I'd say we live on the inside, if you count upwards to the atmosphere as being part of the world, which I do.

[Vattic]

True but I got my quote a little wrong. It should read "on the inside or on the outside".

[Ultimuh]

I think I live on the outside.
Always been kind of a loner.
Wait.. you aren't talking metaphorically are you?

[Vattic]

No and after being asked clarify the question she obviously wasn't either. Admittedly she is one of the stranger family members (quite an achievement).

"God is all-powerful, you can't deny that with all the evidence in the Bible!" - Random christian dude

"If god is all-powerful, can God create a stone he can't lift?" -Me.

That guy was speechless after that.

[Descan]

"The LHC is an attempt to open a trans-dimensional bridge! Just like Anton LaVey and L. Ron. Hubbard did in the 40s!"

... This guy, guys. This guy.
