Title: The Group Described?
Post by: on April 05, 2007, 11:58:00 am
There's a certain group wherein children are never quite certain of paternity, because the mothers mate with multiple males.  The group described is a matriarchy, where children will fight to the death to defend mama, frequently resulting in the wounding or death of the largely predatory males. Mama is the head.
 
 Can you guess who is the group described?

Sweetcell, I thought that you said that you weren't going to bother me anymore with any of your utter foolishness?  You are not very good at keeping your word.

maybe take this as a collective "no thanks" to your infantile button pushing.  personally, i liked the humorous responses way better than another retreaded race-baited "debate".  
 
 maybe it's time for a new routine... have you considered juggling?

Do you know that if you were thrown into a cold, dark, damp cell with no windows, given a burlap sack to wear, and fed a once -daily bowl of thin gruel...no one would ever give a fuck what you thought.

... in which case, i would be in the cell adjacent to the one you're in right now.

 Can you guess who is the group described?
And the answer is: The Chimpanzee, the closest human relative in terms of DNA. Chimp mothers give birth in litters.  Much like dogs there can be more than one father among the pups of any given litter.  There's a current movement (http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2007/apr/07040401.html) afoot to grant chimps essential human rights. Soon we will doubtless  encounter illegal chimp economic migrants pouring across the souther border. Our glorious simian heritage!

 Did you suppose the answer would be someone else?

Uh oh. Granting chimps essential human rights is a slippery slope. We don't want to end up here:

Reporter: Uh, question for the barbecue chef.  Don't you think there is an inherent danger in sending under qualified civilians into space?
 
 Homer: I'll field this one. The only danger is if they send us to that terrible Planet of the Apes.  Wait a minute...Statue of Liberty...that was our planet!  You maniacs!  You blew it up!  Damn you!  Damn you all to hell!
