For today's post, I'm going to do something a little special. A good friend of mine decided that we should exchange blog prompts and use them on our respective blogs. So my prompt was a set of seven very pertinent life questions which I will answer as best as I can. Here goes nothing...
Question Number 1: Why do they warn us when a sex offender moves into our neighborhood, but not a murderer?
Good question. Next.
Question Number 2: Spiritually, what is the difference between humans and animals?
Hmm, I'd say, I dunno, a soul. I believe that humans have something about them that sets us firmly apart from our animal counterparts. On that note, I have been hearing some rumors of a rather covert set of experiments that are attempting to give apes souls. Apparently the experiments are going quite splendidly; they have managed to get the apes to cry when they see their mothers-in-law, but besides that, all they do is sit around and fart all day.
Question Number 3: What's the difference between today and tomorrow?
Well, one is in the present, and the other is not. Simple, yet so difficult. If one considers the existence of the space-time continuum, then maybe, by folding it so that two spots on the continuum meet, both today and tomorrow can occur in the present, but when that happens, mass panic occurs and by the next day everybody has forgotten about it.
Question Number 4: If humans are all made from the same body of mass, what physically seperates us from each other?
Who the hell ever said we were from the same body of mass? Sheesh. Next.
Question Number 5: If a tree falls and no one hears it, will it make a sound?
Alright, I'm gonna give a serious answer for this one, because it has boggled the minds of mindless people for eons. Yes, the falling tree will crash on the ground and make a sound. Will the sound be received by human ears? No, because no one is around. So there.
Question Number 6: This question was left for dead. In other words I'm not supposed to post it.
Question Number 7: Where is the nail polish remover? Seriously, my nails need a new coat of paint.
Well, I'm a straight male, so I wouldn't know where your goddamn paint is. Next.
I guess we've reached the end of this little questionnaire. There is, however, one more question to be answered.
Now, if you can't see that, the question asks "Why do giraff have antenna?" Horrid grammar and spelling aside, there is a very nice picture of a giraffe there. And that is where I will end my post. Next time will be more serious, I promise. I'd like to close with a hot new indie song about giraffes. This guy is the very definition of hip.

I wanted to know where the polish REMOVER was, not the polish.
ReplyDeleteGood Lord, son...read a book instead of watching these Trashy Crappy YouTube Videos :)
ReplyDeleteAs for the questions...
#1 - Usually because most murderers are either executed, in jail for life or in jail a VERY long time before they are eligible for parole. Sex offenders do not have to serve as much time and are therefore more likely to live in someone's neighborhood.
#2 - It may depend upon which belief system is being examined. Buddhist and Taoist do believe that all are created equal spiritually and that all have souls, including animals. Then again, with you being agnostic, how do you know that even humans have souls?
#3 - Time is fluid and is always in motion. As much as I love to read books about and watch movies and shows involving time travel, I am not sure if it is actually possible, because of the paradoxes that it could create. That being said, wouldn't it be weird if you left Elder Mountain in Marion County in TN at 11:01 pm today and in 5 minutes, it was 12:06 am tomorrow in Hamilton County in TN and then you remembered that you left your backpack at the campsite, so you turn the car around and drive into yesterday to get it. Pretty messed up, eh :)
#4 - Yeah, not sure I got that question either. Were we all produced from a Giant can of Play-Doh or something??
#5 - Depends...which planet did it fall on ;-) If the planet doesn't have an atmosphere, sound cannot travel. The tagline for the great movie Alien said "In space, no one can hear you scream". And that is a true statement, because sound cannot travel in a vacuum. But could you imagine watching those great space battles in the Star Wars movies and every space scene would be silent? No roaring engines, no laser blasts, no huge explosions...nothing. Sometimes real life can be boring :)
I could not care less about #6 and #7...
Bonus Question - They are not antennae, but are actually called ossicones and are used by males in combat.
