teddog: (Stronger Than What They Claim (Fury))
I went to Chapters in search of graphic novels and returned with a Sci-Fi novel and issue 141 of Sonic the Hedgehog. Go figure.

I shouldn't walk around while half-sick, 'cause I get strange ideas. Like, the whole creationism veruses evolution thing. Not to ruffle up any feathers, but the general theories in both cases make no sense for one reason.

Creationisn says we were created by God. If this is the case, we should have locked in our brains the knowledge of our creator, because that's the reason for our existance.

Evolution says we were created through a long process of changing and development. If this is the case, we should be able to recall the learned skills of all those who came before, because it's the reason for our existance.

How come we have memories of neither? We don't seem to know exactly why we exist or how to exist. Animals have knowledge of their existence basically built in. Our kitten caught a mouse when I was home for Thanksgiving. When she left her mother she wasn't old enough to have learned this from training. It was built in knowledge. Studies have shown that many dogs are born with the ability to read human social cues.

Why can't we access this select area of own brains? Have we become aware of it and has it turned itself off? We do some things without thinking, like breathing, but what about everything else? The average human is depends on their parents much longer than other animals. The skills aren't there! I'm 21 and still getting educated and still don't understand the whole world. I could survive some time in the middle of nowhere, but I lack the skills to live for a long time. It's like humans have been stripped of all their built-in abilities at birth.

There's got to be somehow to access this "perfect knowledge", but I'll be darned if I knew how. If we could, it would settle many debates. I have my own beliefs why the knowledge appears to be stripped out, but I don't like dragging in my personal church-related nonsense here. :-P

"I went to put money into the machine for candy and it gave me condoms."

"It's Mickey Mouse!"

"It's the RPG 'Chess Club', where you start out as a geeky member of a chess team and rise up the high school social ladder to become captain of the football team!"

"Do people wear edible underwear?"

"When Rachelle says she's going to bed, she reads or plays on her laptop until 2am."

"It said Toronto on a street."

"SHOES ARE A FIRE HAZARD!" (many, many times)

There was also much talk about racing vibrators down the dorm hallways. And Pokemon sex. Roommate Amanda said something, I can't remember what, but it sounded like "Pokemon sex".

I'm going to have some strange search engine hits.

If you haven't, go read a translation to Fullmetal Alchemist chapter 40. I can't put my finger on it, but there's something I really, really liked about this month's chapter. Maybe it's the pacing or the character interaction or the fact that we get to see Fury again. Doing important crap too. Whoo!

And if that doesn't fit you, go tour the Game Room of the first National Bank of Bowman, North Dakota. Hosted by the website that brought us the Gobbler, so you KNOW it's gotta be good.

Random though: Ever seen the MST3K short "Out of This World"? Remember the bread display that looked like a spinning carousel? I want one of those for my dorm room!
