You'd think the widows peaks, giant collard capes, and ancient cursed amulets would have been enough warning signs.

Okay, this sounds like the start of a "heartwarming" story.

Bob Sydor said his daughter--whom he describes as having undergone some “emotional times”—has a real connection with the animal and finds comfort in their companionship.
“People might say, ‘Well why doesn’t she get a dog or a cat or whatever’. But no, this is a special bond,” he said.
“He’s very important to her.”
Emily Sydor did not speak during the hearing and appeared teary eyed outside the committee room.

It makes sense. English has 'burp' and 'belch' to describe light and heavy ructus, there should be an equivalent for flatus.

There's regional words like 'toot' and 'ripper' that most english speakers would understand as referring to different levels, but they're not common parlance.

I mean, they might be. Bowser seems like the sort of monarch that might have a few children he is unaware of. They never were in any official way, though, as far as I know.

Here's where some goon posts a piece of fanart sent in to Nintendo Power to prove me wrong though, probably.

As Komodo dragons are cold-blooded, I imagine their metabolism is probably slower than a human's.

The skin of sharks is entirely covered by placoid scales. The scales are supported by spines, which feel rough when stroked in a backward direction, but when flattened by the forward movement of water, create tiny vortices that reduce hydrodynamic drag, making swimming both more efficient as well as quieter compared to that of bony fishes. The rough, sandpaper-like texture of shark and ray skin, coupled with its toughness, has led it to be valued as a source of rawhide leather, called shagreen. One of the many historical applications of shark shagreen was in making hand-grips for swords.

Not unless he was claiming that he actually was Jesus, which it doesn't seem like he was. Some denominations believe that if a person is sufficiently righteous, that God will grant them the ability to perform miracles such as faith healing, handling dangerous serpents, speaking in tongues, etc.

A lot of denominations would regard it as foolish, since while it would be within God's power to grant such power and protection, God has no reason to do so for a person who intentionally places themselves in harm's way. There's a huge difference between someone who, through unlucky circumstances, finds themselves in mortal danger from wild animals and prays for deliverance, and someone who runs headlong into an alligator-infested body of water expecting God to keep them safe because they're such a good person.

I would personally interpret it as the person testing whether their faith is true in God's eyes, which is something that most denominations say that a person cannot know.

The boring parts are worth it for when Jesus beats up some bankers, or when he tells a tree to eat poo poo and it dies, or when he takes his friends up on a mountain so he can glow for them and the sky opens up and tell everyone how boss he is

It's probably because it's really crap food and nothing else evolved to eat it. Pandas only barely evolved to do it. Basically Pandas are the only animal crap enough to consider fully grown bamboo to be food. The shoots are good and we humans eat those, but the rest is kind of useless as an edible.

Johnny Aztec posted:

Pandas are just regular normal bears whose DNA mutated so they lost their taste for meat. They are a hosed up, useless bear, and it is an abomination keeping these genetic deadends alive.
People have changed panda diets before and you know what happens when they start eating meat again? They loving go and do bear things, like loving!


In short, I hate pandas so much.
