didcot Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 I've just seen an advert for some tacky dating show. The young couple were debating whether or not chicken was a bird! Obviously missed that (chicken) nugget at school. Is it any wonder that programs are dumbed down and repeat everything after the advert. Brain and attention span of a gold fish. 1 7 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted November 7, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 7, 2019 (edited) In medieval times, Beaver was classed as a fish because it lived in water, which meant it was ok to eat on Fridays. As for chickens being vegetables, they are pretty stupid even before their heads are cut off... This possibly validates my view that McDonald's burgers are suitable for vegetarians, because they only contain trace elements of meat.

But all fruits are vegetables anyway. Apart from the banana, which is apparently a herb..? Anyhoo, if mushrooms and other fungi are neither animal or vegetable, what's the vegan take? I'm a pseudo vegetarian, I only eat animals that don't eat meat. Except tuna. And cod and huss, but I don't know if they're carnivorous fish, which probably makes me something of an intellectual heavyweight compared to the TV fodder under discussion. didcot seems to have missed the cultural revolution that today's broadcast media brings us bread and circuses in the form of air time for sections of society to make 'normal' people feel better about themselves. Thus a parade of grossly overweight/unintelligent/privileged* vacuous morons are displayed for the purpose of satisfying the curiosity of nosey b*****s whose own lives are perceived as being "dull", purely because they lack the imagination, desire or determination to improve their lives via an engagement with the world beyond that from a TV screen.

Bet it won't be a constipated wasp then! I feel really sad about that wasp. How the #### does it have sexual intercour$e with another wasp to produce more wasps if it never goes out, or is it some sort of magic Wasp that does everything necessary itself? Does it never go out for a blast around stinging people? Poor thing. What a bl00dy boring life, not unlike that of some humans. I have heard this before but, despite loving figs, both fresh off the tree or those dried things in the bags in shops, and checking them for corpses, I have yet to identify a wasp corpse in a Fig. I think it is fake news H.

Ornet We thought it was a hoax too, but it's not, the fig absorbs it. The queen hatches, leaves on fig, enters another and so it goes on, male workers fertilise and make the escape route. Without the wasp there would be no figs as they also provide the pollen to the figs in order for them to ripen etc. What a life....https://www.sciencefocus.com/nature/is-it-true-there-are-dead-wasps-in-figs/ 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
