chained_bear It's funny this comment just came up, right after I read this comic! :)
Hey, nothing wrong with some occasional replicating. Just like in Star Trek. Jul 20, 2009
arby I have no problem contributing genetic material, I just don't want anything to do with the resulting spawn. My friends in college used to call me the Replicator because all I want to do is replicate my DNA.
C_b, too bad we're both female and thus can only combine efforts via the help of Frankensteinian Science! Jul 3, 2008
chained_bear Exactly my point, arby. Come on everyone!! Let's contribute genetic material to the gene pool! *dives in* Jul 3, 2008
arby WTF double post Jul 3, 2008
arby Has anyone seen Mike Judge's Idiocracy? Not a great movie overall, but the first 3 minutes are priceless - demonstrating just how the idiots are outbreeding the intelligent. Ah, here it is on YouTube. Jul 3, 2008
skipvia Geez. Mood killer... Jul 3, 2008
reesetee HAHAHA! Jul 3, 2008
chained_bear Gee, I hope I ovulate soon... Jul 3, 2008
skipvia More evidence that chained_bear is probably right: How Ignorant Are We?. Jul 3, 2008
dontcry Ah, skip you're a hoot and a holler! Jul 3, 2008
skipvia Who needs puppy eyes? You had me at "breeding." Jul 2, 2008
reesetee Uh oh. Not the puppy eyes. Jul 2, 2008
chained_bear Pro, lots of smart people don't want to procreate. That's no excuse for not populating the planet with smart pro-evolutionists. Science has ways. Now--are you with me?! *makes puppy eyes* Jul 2, 2008
reesetee Can I just contribute genetic material? If so, count me in. Jul 2, 2008
skipvia Wow. Your place or mine? Jul 2, 2008
Prolagus Sorry, I'm out. Jul 2, 2008
chained_bear That's it. There's nothing for it but for us smarty-pantses to start breeding quicker than those other folks. Who's with me?! Jul 2, 2008
reesetee *facepalm* Jul 1, 2008
trivet I weep for the future.
On a possibly bright side, I used to teach science in Louisiana. For the first two years, I taught out of the same text I had used in middle school - it was 20+ years old by the time they replaced it. Perhaps by the time parishes get around to adopting new texts, this nonsense will be forgotten. Jul 1, 2008
Prolagus Jeez. Jul 1, 2008
skipvia Here's a good reason to move away from Louisiana if you have children in school. Or not.
Sometimes I wonder if our country doesn't have a collective death wish. Jul 1, 2008
