No, I don't... actually, I'm not sure ... no, wait, yes I am!

Will the newbuilders on Mars be top astronauts, and if so will they form a more advanced civilisation then any of those on planet earth? Will they be called marsians? Form a new species?
 
  • #1,805
Will the newbuilders on Mars be top astronauts,
Well I suppose they'd have to be in order to get to mars, unless they hitchhiked.

and if so will they form a more advanced civilisation then any of those on planet earth?
Not if we get there first.

Will they be called marsians?
That will depend on the winning name of the naming contest.

Form a new species?
You had to bring up the sex angle, didn't you? o:)

But a really more important question.

Why do they call it a blowjob? Bad physics or what? A guy could get killed if his girl actually believed that's how it's done. :bugeye:

I don’t have time to think about an answer, but for a long time I considered getting one’s brains blown out something desirable. Now I consider it vital !


Is this related in some manner to the 'three-hole option' ?

This is EXACTLY what's wrong with this world. Sickos turning every innoscent thing o:) into sex.

Blowjob, you know, with a hair dryer? :rolleyes: And if your lady treats it as a "job," rather than art, then you could get killed. Sheesh, how damn obvious does a guy have to be? :rolleyes:

Guys have to be as obvious as is necessary to induce gals into action.

This is not aimed at Reshma as a individual but can you all remember that you have to ask a question as well. PLEASE REMEMBER.

So here is a question: What is the history behind 'laughing gas'?

Why would something used for getting high get my car to such high speeds?
 
  • #1,822
franznietzsche said:

Well to get high you need fumes. These smell of bananas and most cars like oranges. Therefore they work fast to get away from the fumes and so work harder and drive the car faster. The accelerator actually controls the concentration of banana fumes.

Why do Parrots like Banana Fumes?

Why do Parrots like Banana Fumes?
The monkeys have taken to smoking bananas and the parrots get addicted to second-hand banana fumes.

The sloths, on the other hand, don't seem to have the same problem. Why not?

Sloths are violently allergic to bananas, so instead of enjoying the aroma of smoked banana, they swell up and die.

So they can clean up after them selves. Oh... hooves not hovers. :blushing:

They have them to prevent swelling of the toe skin.
