His questions, almost all of which are about cosmology, seem innocuous on the surface, but sometimes a true troll will start off sounding like a reasonable poster, but even from the start there will be something that is…off about their posting style. Eventually the Dark Side will bubble to the surface, and their posts start to become more confrontational (if not incoherent).

Okay, I’m starting to lean heavily towards the fluffy, pink troll hypothesis.

He seems to know the answer, because this is followed by “girl get pragnent”. But as with **abashed** , one question just leads to another, to wit: how girl get pragnent? I suppose if you pursue the line of inquiry far enough, you eventually get to wondering “how is occean formed?”. The pragnent girl, the babby, the occean – it’s all part of circcle of liffe.

It’s coming – meanwhile you’re so damn close to the current eruption, “[why is there occeans?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=20396490&postcount=3243)” that you win the second prize, a beautiful matching GE washer and dryer set, and become eligible to come back for tomorrow’s show and try again for the Grand Prize, the right to stuff the poster **abashed** into a capsule atop a Delta IV launch vehicle and press the button sending him to the moon, where there is no air, no occeans, and most importantly, no Internet.

[The Beatles were overrated](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=832847)

Posts it in MPSIMS, gets all bent out of shape when people actually respond to it (horrors), then gets a warning after bitching and moaning about a mod moving it to CS. Been around for almost 2 years, note.
