I wish there was a game called "Hugs" where you have the same environment as in GTA 4 but instead of killing people you just approach them and engage in a long, poignant hug. Cars would be replaced with pretty horsies and the police only chase you if your hugs aren't up to par.
If it weren't so taboo to make fun of fat people to their face I bet there'd be a significant decrease of obesity related deaths. We just have to come up with a campaign that encourages the humiliation of fat people, but in a nice way. It's not as if they are born fat or suddenly wake up one...
I've always found it annoying that the construction of the Giza pyramid is still considered one of the "wonders" of the world. Slaves are capable or marvelous feats when threatened with a painful death. I'd like to see us find a lesser evolved civilization and build a Starbucks as a temple...
How do we progress when the solutions to our problems simply create more problems? Human beings got smart too quickly and still retain primal instincts that overrule logic and cloud empathy. Forget trying to imagine ways to achieve an Utopian society. The problem is us and it always has been...
That would be very depressing but I prefer to believe that there is a federation of civilizations which only make contact if the species in question are worthy of learning the secrets of the universe. Pretend you're part of a selection committee...would you even think twice about making contact...
No, I agree with you for the short term, especially when there's no money. I'm thinking more along the lines of what would be financially sensible when missions to mars are commonplace (assuming we get that far). You're mostly right though in terms of practicality but considering the enormity...
The only permanent base we'll want will be a lunar site to launch from. It takes an outrageous amount of fuel simply to overcome earth's escape velocity but presently we don't have any means to leave low earth orbit, especially from the ISS. When we do eventually add mars into the equation it...
I wonder if robots will eventually be so realistic that men and women no longer bother with each other. Rather, they design their partner and implement a computer system smarter than human potential. Then the population will decrease severely and the planet will slowly heal itself. That would...
I only discovered Mr. Pilkington a few weeks ago but he fascinates me. Everything he says is funny, regardless of the words that come out. I think I always imagine Ricky Gervais laughing hysterically in the back of my head which just makes it funnier.
Anyway, back on topic. I got a tad...
I once lost power and forgot to charge my laptop. I sat in silence as the thunderous storms passed overhead, shaking from withdrawal. The closest I could get to a computer with streaming porn was a gameboy with tetris. I proceeded to construct what I thought to be a penis and vagina out of...
I'm torn, I don't want people to get hurt but I also want Egypt to ****ing implode just to make the news more interesting. I'd be satisfied with something along the lines of blowing up a pyramid or publicly having sex with a sarcophagus.
I've enjoyed reading this thread but I have to side with No Limit based on the practicality of sending people further from earth opposed to spending considerably less in our aim to further our understanding of the universe. Apollo 11 was a milestone for humanity, I don't think anybody would...
I feel bad for the deer in the forest behind my house. They must be pissed the **** off. The babies can't even keep their heads above the snow line, how the hell does that work?
Well, this guy is just short. Not his fault, especially seeing as this woman insists on standing 4 inches away from him. He could have hurt his neck in a car accident and is unable to look straight up at that mammoth.
There's something to be said about a man who puts his pride before the lives of those being lost in the streets. There isn't any confusion surrounding the matter, they want him the **** out and his retort is to appoint empty suits to feign a major change in government policy. The blood from...
