I could post the last page or so here, and it wouldn't be off-topic <_<;

Well, you didn't technically hear it... 

I'm blind. I have a text-to-speech program on my computer, so yes I did hear it
The above is an outright fabrication in response to Kamin's terrible excuse ;]

OH GOD, hearing it would just freak me the fuck out. It's like the mantis is really there!

No kidding! Run this next string through your T2S player...

lololololo

"That's fake"

If NASA was willing to fake things, we'd have gotten to Alpha Centauri in the '80s.

Ikr, I hate having a semi-religious mother.

It was fake, there'd be more aliens. Because what better way to get funding for space than to make people think there's Communists terrorists aliens out there?

[Flying Dice]

By making people think that there is oil in space?

[10ebbor10]

to quote someone who I can't remember the name of:
'what else do you think they stuck on top of 3000 tonnes of rocket fuel!?'
(regarding people saying Apollo was a hoax)

I believe the correct quote was

"Where else do you think they are going on top of 3000 tonnes of rocket fuel."
Can't remember who said it either.

Neil DeGrasse Tyson.

Spoiler: Likely highly racist comments from someone who probably shouldn't be making them (click to show/hide)

"Why are still talking about those 'colored' folk? Are we going back to quotas or something?

Context: My supervisor was supposed to come up with a plan to increase diversity at the college. So he did. They liked it, but told him to come up with a different plan. So he did. They didn't even look at the new plan and decided the old one was better. Note that this may have been the guy paraphrasing for the board member.

Also, @above, that's a pretty stupid quote. "Colored", really?

[kaijyuu]

Isn't "colored" a euphemism? Or has it fallen into dysphemism territory?


Anyway, I'd need better context to judge whether that was really racist or not. As it stands, he could've just been wondering why they were still talking about increasing diversity and an honest question about quotas. Of course, it could also have been said with quite a bit of venom, making the meaning quite explicitly racist. Hard to tell with hearsay.

It was intended to be a euphemism, but by the 1970s-80s it had turned firmly into a dysphemism.

I thought the Sun ran on Christmas cheer...

No silly, the Sun runs on the blood of human sacrifices.

The Mayans were fueling the Sun! December 12, 2012 is when the Sun runs out of fuel...  ushering in an ice age that will never end, forcing humanity to live deep underground.  To dig ever deeper toward the core as the earth's core cools over the millennia...

Or.. a single person learns that he/she must sacrifice humans to resurrect and power the Sun...  Taking it upon his/herself... the hero sets out into the world to cleanse the land of humanitysave what she can, in the process making life long friends, facing many hardships and making heart-wrenching decisions. 
Will our hero succeed in their quest... ?  Or is Earth doomed to a never ending ice-age?

Please step right this way, sir.
