@oddity: Debate About Human Vs. Animal Superiority

[Gildoran]

I think

settles the debate once and for all.

 

(heh, I saw that and it reminded me of oDDity - I think everybody will agree)

Why should they be better?

[greebo]

Well, can you eat a whole seal?

[OrbWeaver]

Superiority at what? And what has this got to do with oDDity?

 

I must be missing something I guess.

[sparhawk]

Well, can you eat a whole seal?

 

Neither can a geopard do this. Comparisons between animals are pretty useless, especially when you don't even tell what features you compare. Animals are adapated to their environment, so saying that an eagle is better then a whale, because a whale can not see a mouse from 3 kilometers up in the air, then first show me a whale who is travelling 3 kilometers in the air before I grant you that you are right.

I think it might be an example of what we call "humour"

I guess the canned audience laughing wasn't enough to give that away

[Fingernail]

some of the best hard-hitting dramas have canned laughter

 

haven't you ever watched fawlty towers?

[Gildoran]

The reason I said @oDDity was because a while back he was stating that humans are the ultimate creature, etc etc, so I thought I could use that debate as a pretext for posting the link. Also the style of this clip reminded me of things oDDity might say... "Penguins mate for life. You probably don't even have a girlfriend or a boyfriend. Penguins are happier than you. And they're better than you."

 

The intent of posting this isn't to start another animal comparison argument. I just thought it was a funny video.

[OrbWeaver]

I guess viewing it at work without any sound probably wasn't the best way to appreciate the humour, I'll admit.

 

Still, some of those definitions of "better" are rather tenuous. I certainly don't want to live 250 years, I've never felt any inclination to eat a seal, and with no boyfriend or girlfriend my penis-size-to-body-ratio is of little material significance.

 

It would be cool to be able to run like a cheetah though.

[Fingernail]

perhaps it's because you're insecure about your penis-to-body size ratio that you don't have a girlfriend or boyfriend

 

DID YOU THINK OF THAT???

[Gildoran]

But even if you wanted to, COULD you eat a seal? I think not. Ergo, polar bears are better than you.

[OrbWeaver]

Eureka! That's it.

 

Now where did those spammers go?

[sparhawk]

They are gone... Whats more to say?

You don't have permission to access /darkmod/index.php? on this server.

 

Baby Jesus cries...

Apache/1.3.xx Server at modetwo.net

 

Just checking on a random thread . . .

[angua]

Greebo had this once. It was because he wrote "gplusplus" into the post.

[greebo]

Yeah, be sure to check your post for any weird character combinations. This server's Apache doesn't seem to like this...

[OrbWeaver]

Greebo had this once. It was because he wrote "gplusplus" into the post.

 

Yes, G ++ does it for me as well.

 

Presumably Apache is checking for the command because hackers might want to compile a program on the remote system in order to exploit it.

[ascottk]

"tdm_", "player_", and "thief.def" can't be combined into one word . . .

 

Just tried this out in another thread . . .

[oDDity]

Well I could eat a seal, in fact, I could shoot and eat the polar bear as well.

[Dram]

LOL, 1 all

What's the point of mating? People think it's kind of mandatory, but isn't it just a choice like owning a yacht?
