(Needless to say, everything in that post is wrong – not just a few things, _ **everything** _.) Or maybe he believes that climate change can be fixed with stitches. It makes as much sense as anything else he ever posts. ---

Canada would not cease to exist, as such, it would just be a very different place. I read recently that research suggests humans did not _cross the ice bridge_, they actually lived on the Beringia ice shelf for centuries/millennia. ---

Bolding mine. I probably didn’t read this correctly, so - he somehow, then, created a bloody, leaking hole in himself? And…_how_…did he create this bloody, leaking hole in himself in the first place? I guess I could have read the thread, but my spidey sense says that wouldn’t have provided any answer. I’m hoping he was trying to out-Ron Obvious himself by attempting psychic surgery on his stomach. A deranged, unstable mind wants to know. (this is reminding me of a splendidly gruesome Joyce Carol Oates short story - title escapes me) ---

He was probably referring to a putative blood leaking hole, such as one might make whilst using a table saw in conjunction with whisky. But in the white dog’s case, it would more likely be the result of becoming so enraged at something he read on the internets that that vein in his temple could not withstand the increase in blood pressure. ---

> [@eschereal](#): > > Canada would not cease to exist, as such, it would just be a very different place. I read recently that research suggests humans did not _cross the ice bridge_, they actually lived on the Beringia ice shelf for centuries/millennia. Beringia was not an ice bridge or ice shelf, it was dry land and mostly ice free in summer. But essentially [all of Canada would have been under thousands of feet of ice](http://www.geospectra.net/lewis_cl/geology/icegl2.gif) and uninhabitable, although western Alaska was ice free like Beringia. ---

And they can be very persistent, no matter how many times they are corrected. ---

Maybe written in first person, but only 50% sure of that. Almost ten years ago - IIRC he was trying to access something in his brain through his nasal passages while reading form some medical manual. ---

I honestly don’t understand why anyone would waste their time posting in a thread by Jefferson or BlinkyPinkyDumbass. You know they’re trolls. You know they don’t give a fuck about logic, facts or reality. They just want attention. ---

> [@Chimera](#): > > As I asked in the other thread before it got locked, can anyone point me to the warnings? As I explained in the locked thread, trolling is an instaban offense and doesn’t require prior warnings. However, since **Blinkyandpinky’s** trolling was mostly in the Pit, where some degree of trolling is tolerated, it required discussion before taking action. ---
