Then is an anencephalic baby (google it. Or better yet, DON'T) an animal or not?

Oh my. O.o that was weird man why oh why candles in the fry licking walrus tusks while I slowly die.

*Makes note not to google that*

Anyway, if you judge animal life by having a brain or not, what about Jellyfish? What about Starfish?

Just for posterity, Anencephalic = Absence of a (major) portion of the brain [meaning: Partial or Total absence of such].
Why you shouldn't google (image) that is possibly because you'd be staring at a person (a fetus or baby) with...let's say its pretty normal, yet the forehead and the rest (sans the face) isn't.

Man, this reminds me of what must have been part of my dream last night- I was trying to google something and kept stumbling over all sorts of horrifying shock images instead. Can't remember what it was, but I desperately wanted to find it for some reason.

[TD1]

Oh, don't worry, that was just some brain-ads from Yahoo. They're still trying to discredit Google.

Dumb ways to die is playing on the radio.
1. Why is this not dead
2. Why is it playing on the radio in the place of actual music. There's much better songs available on the internet than an overhyped train safety campaign.

There is also many, many far worse songs they could be playing.
In my experience most radio stations (apart from small independent ones) tend to play absolute shit, since that's what the majority of the public listens to. Was it a smaller, good station? Personally I don't mind the song, anyway.

Small independant radio stations are almost non-existant in Belgium. This was Studio Brussels, which is one of the most popular radio stations. The music they play is good enough for the most part.

That is one huge, steaming, gigantic....puddle of mud.

So a born-dead animal is not an animal? (Let's say it was dead before it had any thought process.)

It was a fetus at one point.  And it was still created via macro sexual reproduction.

So I'm playing that community fort for the next update.

One of the characters, in fluff for now as i have no knowledge of how to afflict this without massive danger, is a ghoul.

In game, their wife is not a ghoul as that's one of the (nooffenseofcourse) generic 'Dorf me' people.

The mental image is disturbing...

Though eh. I may just be thinking about it too much and WTFing over nothing

EDIT: When uploading an image, I got this strange image instead of the first one I uploaded.

What.

I've caught myself thinking about how would an Achron deal with the Sakuya's time shenanigans.

Definitely one of the weirdest crossovers I've had for a while.

[Darvi]

Very badly, one would assume.

[Sergarr]

I figured the best shot in non-danmaku combat for the Achron would be to future-scout everything and then using massive amounts of time travel to basically attempt to knock 'er out right after the infamous Sakuya's time stop.

But then, she can simply punch Achron in the face without even getting out of the time stop, so...

Actually, with future-scouting and ability to pre-calculate the ideal path 5 minutes into the future the Achron could probably dodge all the spell cards with ease, provided it has some sort of flying machine.

See, I think way too much about this.

Well the last time somebody with timestopping powers got beaten, it was because the other guy deus ex machina'd himself exactly the same power.

So cloned animals aren't animals?

[Yoink]

Probably not. Same for cloned humans, I guess?
There's a lot of grey areas with cloning.

[TD1]

If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck and acts like a duck, then whether or not it was cloned it is still a duck.

[nomoetoe]

If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck and acts like a duck, then whether or not it was cloned it is still a duck.

If it looks like a duck, acts like a duck, and quacks like a duck it is probably just a tool of the conspiracy.

[Descan]

I didn't realize ducks were pulsing slabs of meat in a vat that had neither parents nor gestation.

Edit: Also, a cloned animal is alive in the macro-sense so I refer you to my previous point. (meat in vat is alive in the micro-sense i.e. it's made of living cells, but they're not one organism)
