Explain to me why I thought watching Uwe Boll films back to back was a good idea and also explain why guinea pigs exist.

Because sometimes we need to feel pain in order to be reminded that we're alive.

and also explain why guinea pigs exist.

Because people need something to experiment on when their conscience tells them that it's wrong, or if they're humanitarian. Also, there's this universal conspiracy, and having their name correlate with a country's is their way of giving you a hint of what they have planned. New Guinea was step two; Newest Guinea will be the sign that tells us: "oh, too late; you're screwed."

Does FLCL have an inner story? And WHY is it so crazy? and what exactly does FLCL MEAN!?!?
(I may ask more complex riddles in another thread or this one later... donno...)

[Mitera Nikkou]

Does FLCL have an inner story?

Yup. It surrounds stuff coming out from inside the protagonist's head.

And WHY is it so crazy?

Because it's really sane. And people go insane when things are too sane for too long. That's why there are only six episodes.

and what exactly does FLCL MEAN!?!?

For the Love of Crazed Lunacy.

[Chibi MitchellTF]

Fooly Cooly/Furi Kuri is a pun involving the Japanese phrase for kneading bread, as well. It might not actually even HAVE a meaning.

Wikipedia can explain the story. Also, rewatching it. Symbolism is a bit iffy sometimes.

Okay, here's one for you to ponder: why the platypus?

[Mitera Nikkou]

Okay, here's one for you to ponder: why the platypus?

Because it's a higher-level hurdle in understanding evolution. It has been put on this Earth as the kind of challenge that helps those striving to understand to reach ever-closer toward enlightenment. And what isn't challenging about understanding how something came to be a reptile-like mammal with trace relations to birds? Sure, it's strictly considered mammalian, but it lays eggs, delivers poison, spends a lot of time in the water if not on land, and shares some genes that birds have. Also, whereas mammals usually have two sex chromosomes, the Platyus has ten. That's a big difference and, if I remember correctly, scientists haven't yet found what determines the sex of new platypi.

(Yeah, I love these little buggers. :3)

How do I stop time? :0

[Mitera Nikkou]

You have to convince the world that there is no time, then people will stop the time that they made up.

You can also get yourself a stop watch.

[Christina Anikari]

I thought the platypus was created when some wizards decided to try and draw a duck in a highly magically charged environment. Clearly biology wasn't their strongest suit.

[Mitera Nikkou]

They wouldn't have happened to have been the wizards of the coast, would they?

[Kris_Roth]

Also, the Echidna, or Spiny anteater, is another member of the Monotreme family. The Monotreme family includes the Duckbill Platypus, and the Echidna. Both are found exclusively in Australia.

The question is: Do you think modern birds are descended from the Dinosaurs? Seems to me only the larger creatures were wiped off the face of the earth approximately 65 Million Years Ago by the Giant asteroid, causing global cooling and ushering the age of Mammals.

[Mitera Nikkou]

I think it's possible. After all, they have found that the tyrannosauridae had hollow bones, and it hadn't been the only dinosaur to have that trait. I think that there have even been some genetic similarities found between some dinosaurs and modern birds.

I think it was much less due to size and instead other factors. A lot of mammals came out of that time period because more resources were available to them. Plenty of dinosaurs could have handled the colder temperatures, many of which actually had features to more easier absorb heat from the sun. The thing about that, was that the lack of vegetation effected the carnivores more than the herbivores. It literally robs the food chain from the top to the bottom even though it starts from the bottom and works its way to the top. So, in the end, what moderately-sized to large, meat-eating dinosaurs that there were, found less prey because their numbers were lessened due to the lack of vegetation, and so more attention was turned to prey that they'd rather not go after due to the higher risks. So while they eat each other, decreasing their number in that way as well as being a victim to environmental factors, the mammals eat what vegetation they can find and not eat each other... Although I'm sure flesh was scavanged when the need arose; I'm unsure if there were many, if any, carnivoric mammals back then.
