uhhh... it's just my way of luring unsuspecting victims rigth into my dirty grasp... muahaha...
look... 14 people have already voted... but all claim to have innies...
that can mean two out of two things...
1) people with outies doesn't read philosophical threads...
2) people with outies are too clever to be lured into my dirty grasp... (muahaha...
)3) there are no people with outies or "Other"...
look what important information you can get out of such a thread... I'm just so amazingly smart, it never seizes to amaze me... *sigh* ... *sends myself finger kisses and a little pink flower*
(notice how the correct use of the words "never seizes to amaze me" in reality makes no sense?)

The phrase commonly used is "it never ceases to amaze me." meaning, its always constanly amazing you... which makes sense... weird eh?
And I'm an innie, though I'm determined my child (of the distant future) shall be special and therefore an outie.

I don't know if it is funny or terribly disturbing that so many people can be that ignorant.balkan said:1) well, that just shows you the value of english teachers these days... *hrmpf*

It's like the people that type contractions such as would've and could've phonetically as "would of" and "could of". Actually I don't even know if those are acceptable as contractions, although they're widely used. AARGGHHH!
Where did these people learn English??
At least you, balkan, questioned the wording, realizing that it made no sense, so you are excused.

My best friend is Italian and one day we were discussing shallow women and he said that he would never date a stereotypical "blind barbie".
Took me a second to realize he meant "blond barbie".

oh, be carefull... he is either mentally ill (from an italian point of view) or he's after your tush
whenever my various female friends (and two ex-girlfriends) have come home from a trip to italy they have complained for months about the italian men, it's so funny...
as far as i understand, this is what happens when a blond girl walkes into a bar or street or off the airport runway:
"oh, lala! pretty girl! you want a real man, no?"
and they actually leave a trail of mucus behind as they slither after her until she slams a door in their face
