Jesus these people are eagerly awaiting the apocalypse are they?

And what about that secret evacuation of the West coast?

I've actually seen women in burqas two or three times here in Texas. But yeah, it's very noticeable and memorable which suggests to me that people who talk about seeing "all these Muslim women in burqas" or whatever are full of poo poo.

Thank god it's not just me that hears "four horsemen" and instead of thinking "Conquest, War, Famine and Death", thinks "Arn, Ole, Tully and Ric".

I love how Aspartame is in the background, because anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds simply aren't widespread enough. You've got to incorporate EVERYTHING.

If you're interested in a very accessible book about the history of cancer treatments and the societal attitude towards cancer, I highly recommend this book http://www.amazon.co.uk/Emperor-All-Maladies-Siddhartha-Mukherjee/dp/0007250924 It's a really interesting look at the biology of the disease-group, the history and sociology of treatments, even the politics of the search for treatments. It'll arm you with a plethora of diverse responses to stupid Facebook posts about miracle cures, research and so forth.

Wasn't this made back during the "What is the deal with people sharing pictures with artifacts?" discussion? It may have been from another thread. If so, the pic made it to my cousins.

My God man, what are you implying about comic book movies?!

(This was also my favourite part).

You guys are really missing the point on this one. Let's not fool ourselves, this guy has never read The Great Gatsby. He's just pining for a simpler time when non-whites were segregated and weren't allowed to vote. You know, the good ole days.

The thing that always gets me about these kinds of proposals is that it seems the proposer is forcing the proposee to say 'yes'. Since they risk public humiliation if they say no. There was a clip I watched where at a sports even the girl said no and she had to run out of the entire stadium while being booed. It just reminds me of the episode of It's always Sunny in Philadelphia where the dude is telling people how great it is to have a boat because 'the implication' they have to say yes, because of 'the implication'.

I do assume that most people agree to the proposal before the dude actually asks the question. But super public proposals still skeeve me out.

This seems really familiar, I could swear I've seen it before. I think "bodyshape" is supposed to be some creepy term for an attractive woman.

I've heard that there were other zoos that would buy it off them, but I don't really know if that's true, or anything about the logistics of transporting animals between zoos/budgeting for buying an animal as a zoo.

A PhD means you're really really good at one particular thing. As a side effect, it also means you really really suck at everything else.

My father and older sister both have PhDs and this couldn't be more true.

This is slightly off-topic, but I think it's weird when people on this site claim that MRAs and the like don't exist outside of the internet. It makes me think they're long out of college or something, because even at Hampshire, one of the most hilariously over-the-top liberal campuses in the US, there's a small but noticeable contingent of MRAs. The same was true at the other school I went to, and there were proto MRAs at both high schools I attended, and that was years ago. I see MRA posters stapled to telephone poles regularly in pretty much every college town I visit. Youth culture is bizarre and moronic, and I can imagine why people who are slightly older would have difficulty believing that bronies, MRAs, and tumblr SJWs are exclusive to the internet, but the fact is that they aren't. Knowing about memes and furries and all that poo poo that was totally obscure and arcane five, ten years ago isn't the exclusive domain of the nerdy pasty shut-ins anymore. It's a brave, terrible, new world out there. The internet has ruined everything.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Shakespeare has mentioned cancer, so a known entity 500 years ago is very provable. In fact, it's a relatively modern reference. A quick google tells me the first reference to cancer is from 3,000BC in Egyptian scrolls, though obviously they didn't call it cancer then.

But what do I know? I can't cause my aetheric body to leave and say 'screw science' then zoom in on my bones to see stuff science happens to agree on. I mean, it's one thing to say 'Typical people take science on faith, they've never actually seen blood cells, only pictures in books' but if you're saying it's a lie and your soul-vision is better, why not go full-magic and say all humans are made of concentrated belief and could fly if they weren't brainwashed into thinking they couldn't? At the very least, it'd make a cool story.
