Chit chat thread #2 (slowest thread ever! ha!)

[The_Cheat]

you've been watching "minority report" a tad too many times.

Never watched it before.

Heck lah! You think I got my philosophy from movies huh? I learnt more from listening to music and playing games can! :bsmilie:

 

[hwchoy]

Err... I'm really quite dumb at this kind of specific stuff one. In fact, most of the time, my students could point out to me little things that they'd read in the notes that I didn't even bothered to read... :bsmilie:

I like the forest, not the tree.

yes yes I like the bevy, not just the woman. :heart:

aiyah in my photo archive of 400 species of freshwater fishes, easily 10-20 of them are "to be new species", i.e. they have not yet been described.

surprising to the layman perhaps, but taxonomists are actually still pondering exactly what a "species" is, and when you should call a species another species.

a species is only interesting when it looks like natasha henstridge.

i thought you got your philosophy from lengthy considered thought and discernment.

You know, it's precisely because of this blind belief that species is an unmovable constant that I hated taxonomy so much...

And to think that we can't even define the little building blocks probably, and there we are stacking with this box, thinking of earning "big money! big money!" (like wheel of fortune) in the game of Life Science. Sighz~!

 

[hwchoy]

so if a robber intends to rob a bank, he is already guilty of robbing one?

dank! I'm guilty of mass-rape

 

[The_Cheat]

It'll be interesting if it looks like Michael Jackson too!

 

[zaren]

dank! I'm guilty of mass-rape

the_cheat's moral police will arrest you shortly.

 

[hwchoy]

It'll be interesting if it looks like Michael Jackson too!

can Michael Jackson interbreed with natasha henstridge?

 

[zaren]

michael jackson is a mutant.

 

[The_Cheat]

That too. But first you have to enjoy it somewhere mah, to have a good laugh of it, before you're even motivated to engage your thought process in it.

We all need someone or something to point the problem out, before we could even begin thinking about the solution mah. Again, that's precisely why (no matter how much I hate to admit it) the government is not doing a bad job.

 

[zaren]

can Michael Jackson interbreed with natasha henstridge?

natasha henstridge prefers non-mutants.

 

[hwchoy]

poor arnie got busted at the polls. but he'll be back. :bsmilie:

 

[hwchoy]

natasha henstridge prefers non-mutants.

ah so she has a preference, but perhaps no fish, prawn also good? :think:

 

[The_Cheat]

the_cheat's moral police will arrest you shortly.

Yes! The moral police will give you cute little tickets. But frankly, what is a morally correct punitive measure anyway? I really can't think of any.

So the moral police, would probably just be ineffective in deterring anything, other than just instilling some guilt in you.

so you embrace a philosophy based on how enjoyable it is?

 

[The_Cheat]

Hahah~! Well, if it's not Michael Jackson, then OJ Simpson will do nicely! :bsmilie:

michael jackson is more like a rubber ducky.

all people with surnames ending with "son" are in fact mutants.

 

[hwchoy]

Yes! The moral police will give you cute little tickets.

will they look like SnapSnap's tickets? :sweatsm:
