    Chicken vs. Egg

    in Other Discussion

    Posted

    The egg came first. It came from an experiment involving a duck-billed platypus, a 16-wheeler semi, and a large rock, that went wrong.

     

    Note that the thing that hatched from the egg wasn't a chicken, it was something I'd rather not think about. But evolution has its ways and so now chickens hatch from eggs.

     

    And by the way Wizard, your first comment raises another point - which came first, the egg and the chicken or the 16-wheeler semi?

    The Depressing thing about Anti-Depressants

    It's very true that our society is very chemical-dependant. Just one example of this is my nanny, who's recently come through a horrible chest infection where she had a raw scraping cough for 3 weeks . She remarked to me that she'd been taking 'every drug [she] could find' in an attempt to make herself better. Of course, with the infection that she had, the only thing that could have made any difference was time, which eventually took away the infection from her. The painkillers didn't even help with her chest pain, according to her. She's very rarely hit with illnesses like this, but when she is it always strikes me how desperate she is to get better.

     

    I think it's partly that people don't have any understanding of these drugs and their potential side effects. They just think, 'There's an advertisement for a wonder drug. I've got the condition it's supposed to cure, I'll be absolutely fine again if I start taking it.' It was what happened with cigarettes; it was advertised as being good for you but then the press changed their minds. It'll happen with other drugs too, because the reality of it, in my eyes, is that there'll never be a perfect drug. We're trying to do something that nature won't let us do.

     

    Enough rambling on from me now, but there you go.

    PS3 vs Wii vs 360

    in Technology and the Internet

    In my opinion it completely depends on what you want. There's no 'best' console - the Wii is best for active games (and my personal favourite because you're not just sitting and pressing buttons!) and the most innovative; the PS3 is the best for graphics, and the Xbox is best for... well, I don't like the Xbox 360 personally.

    Why Parents Have Gray Hair

    hahaha, that was a great joke.. but it sure is true, parents need to let off of the bad report card and think of the worst things that could possibly happen.

     

    That's a bit pessimistic! I wouldn't like it if my parents were constantly thinking of the worst things that could happen to me!
