Read my profile.

Now, why do you think that sarcasm is the lowest form of wit? Or were you just quoting without thinking about it?

Why do we, in a modern technologically advanced society (in the western world) require farms, and a farming industry when to gain substanence (ie. Food), we can simply go to a super market?

Any thoughts?

Fairies?

A pretty poor one at that. That kind of "joke" just gets people to thinking you're an idiot. Even after the alleged "disclaimer" (or more likely, because of it), that opinion of him can't be too far off.

Why do people think they can negate bad social behavior merely by saying "it was a joke"? This is WAY too pervasive in our society right now. I liked it better when people paid for their foolishness with a black eye.

No I think he knew perfectly well what he was saying, which is why I had the audacity to laugh at him (until I went a little uncertain whether or not he knew that he sounded as he knew what he was talking about).

He asks us why we need farms, when we can get all the food we need in the supermarkets, thereby openly stating he knows what is produced at the farms. I doubt very much he'd realise where food is produced and then not realise where the food in supermarket comes from.

Ok Stockton, here is a question to ponder. A thermos keeps hot foods hot and cold foods cold. How do it know?

Please tell me you're not comparing the creator of this thread with a thermos.

Edit: That's just rude, you know.

Nope, I don't see the resemblance. Now stop stalling and answer the Question. 😉

Well, in the lid of the thermos is its brain. Several reliable scientific studies has confirmed this. The brain of a thermos is also much bigger than previously expected. Of course, there are thermoses of varying sizes and shapes, but the size of their brain and it's ability to calculate would be almost the same for them all.

Now, we know that the only reason a thermos does not communicate with us is because it has both a very stiff body and no oral opening through which it can produce sound. That means that the language it uses is very much undetectable to us. We have no idea what it's saying. At least, that was the common belief until Alfred Von Schnubenburger presented his thesis: "The body language and emotional expressions of the general thermos", where he successfully manages to demonstrate that even though the thermoses has no way of communicating with each other, and therefore have no common language, they all demonstrate similar characteristics in bodily expressions. For instance, if a thermos is angry (or so we believe it to be) it's content will be hot. If the thermos is extremely turned off it's content will be cold. And any other mood will keep the content at a pleasant 25 celsius.

Now, you can easily imagine how the thermos "knows" how to keep hot content hot and cold cold, right? It doesn't necessarily "know" this, but wouldn't you get pretty pissed if someone threw steaming hot water into you? Wouldn't you be turned off if someone forced down cold, cold water in you?

Simple as that, really.

I think I would like a second opinion, before I go to the expense of trusting your scientific reckoning and evaluations on my cold beer. Because, an angry and drunk thermos might in MHO be mistaken as a WMD if in fact it decided to heat itself to the point that the thermonuclear beer became volatile and it were to blow it's brains out the top of it oral fixation. I am sure you can see why this is worth pondering. I do not want to be responsible for the death of so many innocent containers. Do you think Suzianne with her ability to Judge these types of idiocratic endeavors, would be of any value to this study?

Were do you think the food comes from? Gnomes don't come at night and stock the markets.
