Oh man! What a great article!!

I can see it. “Oh, great, we’re being hunted by a tiger. How wonderful. Maybe we should try to make friends with it.”

Darwinism at its finest.

No, and I don’t have anything better to do than point out the difference between “that” and “than,” either.

Thannnks, Yahoo. Thannnnnnnnks.

(That was Sarcasm.)

Sure it was.

It’s not like the article had a similar example or anything.

Yeah. And a lion is exactly the same as a tiger.

What a smart observation. Did you learn that in college?

No, he rented it from an out of work street poet.

And people used to call me a bitch like it was a bad thing–now I can tell them I’m just practicing my survival skills :smiley:

If you tell yourself that enough times, it will probably become true. :rolleyes:

What a nice thing to say.

Oh yeah. We’re surviving. I can feel it.

Yeah, okay. Was God a sarcastic git? Jesus? Hell, no! Dude was a total downer, and look what…

Oh. Wait. I think they may be on to something here.

Niiiiice.

Oh, and this.

Looks like I’ll live forever.

And I really had my heart set on dying at 63 of a heart attack in the bathroom. Maybe the laundry room-one of the inconsequential rooms, anyway

Japan is largely devoid of sarcasm.

What a damaged people…

Clearly responsible for their losing WWII.

You mean “winning” WWII

As if.
