Re: That's how evolution works

It could be argued that mauling the girl would be a poor evolutionary choice since they'd risk being put down.

Re: someone shopping for radishes

Free radishes? Where?

Re: Evil Neutral

It's almost like a pen and paper roleplaying game doesn't cover the moral complexities of real life.

Well the braille version sold reasonably well...

Re: Header pic

Yeah, sorry I meant that the earthing wouldn't help because we were discussing an unearthed plug.

I have an unearthed euro phone charger plugged into an earthed euro socket beside my bed.

Re: It won't be 70%

It would be an excellent example if we both compromised and agreed to call it a normal part of politics.

Re: Deadpool

He may also be the only superhero to die of a heart attack before the end of a fight and have his fanbase insist that counts as winning.

Re: There is no such verb as "to pen"

Technically, the verb 'type' comes from exactly the same standard. In Middle English the word 'type' meant a symbol, most often a carved one, thus pressing carved (or moulded) symbols against paper to make words became typing. Though there was an intermediate stage where people set types into frames in order to print pages at a time which was known as typesetting.

Type meaning category came later and also referred to a symbol representing that category.

Re: Saving democracy

You don't hear them in the city because 99% of them have left for the wilderness.

I am certain you could creep up and rob someone using the sound of crickets fucking to drown out your footsteps.

Re: Bad planning

Theresa May seems to take a lot of fertiliser from all sides.

Sure, give the establishment a list of companies it hasn't successfully corrupted yet. That could never go wrong.

Re: They won't apply to sites on which porn makes up a third or less of the content

I have wondered for a while why people aren't actively making properly educational porn videos. Not learn-about-sex educational, something like this could be made into porn with very little change needed.

Sexy cancer is the new fetish.

My guess would be they argued that the bad guys would assume he was a grass anyway when they got caught in the end, so he had nothing to lose by becoming a real one.

Now that would be great research, an AI that can tell how interesting a dam is.

Re: Spiders: there is no "overkill"

Couple of years ago where I was living in the uk there was a (relatively for the area) massive invasion of bitey insects. I had a landlord inspection in the middle of it and apologised for the cobwebs explaining that I was trying to keep the flies under control by letting the spiders get established.

"Good idea!" said the landlord enthusiastically and the inspection proceeded without a hitch. I guess someone else had been bitten recently.

Re: Perhaps they should apply the same rules on PCs on the Parliamentary Estate

Is there such a thing as porn in Latin or Ancient Greek?

There is certainly an ancient greek word for it.
