I bet some SICKOS would use Vomiting Larry for sex, somehow!

In related news, sex was invented in Scotland by fish: BBC News - Sex 'emerged in ancient Scottish lake'

"They couldn't have done it in a 'missionary position'," said Prof Long. "The very first act of copulation was done sideways, square-dance style."

I will think of the do si do every time I look at fish now.

I hope America enters the space program someday.

a woman asked me yesterday, "if your precious Stephen hawking is so smart, why hasn't he discovered the cure for his disease? Or cancer? EH?" I said, "he's an astrophysicist, not a medical researcher". She said, "so what? isn't he smart enough to do both?"

.....um....cuz they're such similar subjects? omg.

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

So the American disease of anti-intellectualism has spread up there?

On behalf of my fucked up nation, I apologize.

[Dr Dave]

Or just tell her to fuck right off.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Or eat her socks.

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

Or do a dance of joy to bring on CHRISTMAS SNOW!

 

[Dr Dave]

Or eat her socks.

That might not end well.

This article just says "there might be a mirror universe where time runs backwards" then stuffs in a lot of images to make up space.

'Mirror universe' suggests Big Bang created place where time goes backwards - Science - News - The Independent

 

[Cassie]

I wonder what time it is in the reverse universe.

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

It's always PEANUT BUTTAH JELLY TIME! PEANUT BUTTAH JELLY TIME!

 

[CaptainWacky]

None of the articles ever answer what life would be like in a "backwards" universe.

There's some big fucking meteor shower happening the next few nights and OF COURSE I will not see a single meteor

 

[Fuddlemiff]

It's very rare you can see anything where I live during meteor shows. I think I've seen two shooting stars here ever.

 

[CaptainWacky]

I can't even see them here in Scotland. But then again I never want to stand outside at night to look for them because it's too cold.
