He means that you are an idiot. Religion is more far-fetched then science. When people don't get facts or don't want to get facts they start yelling a whole load of BS and make it seem outrageous. Fact of the matter is, religion is so outrageous it doesn't even require extra thoughts to be labeled as such. In its standard form it seems ridiculous.

Don't get me wrong, I am not an aethiest. I just think that people that use science have a point. God might exist, or he might not. I don't know.

The United States was the last country to abolish slavery.

When Super Mario Bros first came out some people honestly believed he had Russian propoganda and proof to sustain their arguments.

Nice try. No. There's a reason the League of Nations had a big anti-slavery commission. Slavery is not abolished everywhere, anyway, from what I understand.

OK, Virtualgamecafe let me explan evolution to you.

Yes Monkeys/apes/whatever came from a similar ancestor as humans, it just so happened that "apes" required different adaptations than humans, thus after millions of years created a different species.

Alright, you just pushed by buttons! Nowhere in the statement about Chimps did I say we evolved from Monkeys. If anything, Monkeys evolved from us. Monkeys evolved form Humans when a group of hominiods split up. One became Monkeys; the other, a Hominid. I never said anything about the Big Bang Theory. Try to make some sense about what you read before posting an argument saying you are against it. By the way, there is no theory on evolution. There are Theories of evolution.

It's "cant be folded in half more than 7 times."

Forcing someone to use their opposite hand will result in behavioral problems as adults.

Tomorrow, Jan 16, is Sheepyman's birthday, my 1 year anniversary of joining SWF, the day Vermont seperated from New York, and the day UPN started broadcasting.

In 1931, China banned Alice's Adventures in Wonderland because the talking animals were seen as blasphemous.

Gerber baby food sales declined in Africa in the past due to the fact that their logo, the Gerber baby, made buyers think that it was, in fact, jarred babies.

They have since then changed the labels to feature just vegetables.

Hmmmm . . . interesting facts . . .

'Stewardesses' is the longest word you can type with your left hand, if you use standard typing practices on a QWERTY keyboard.

Armadillos are the only remaining carriers of leprosy left in the world. So don't pet an armadillo or your hand will fall off.

The phrase "Rule of Thumb" comes from the medieval practice that husbands could legally beat their wives with a stick no wider than the width of their thumb. (this one's pretty common knowledge, but perhaps some people haven't heard it)

There are no English words that end in V.

In order to mate, a male deep sea anglerfish will bite a female when he finds her. The male will never let go and will eventually merge his body into the female and spend the rest of his life inside the female mate. The males internal organs will disappear apart from the testes that are needed to for breeding.

Polar bears are left handed (maybe they could tack on a few extra years by switching?
