Capt. Eddie: It's called the unintended consequences theory ... Flo: Well, I have to admit, that would explain a lot ... Capt. Eddie's Apocryphal Science.
I agree with plus4–this is every bit as viable a theory as postulating a Huge Kaboom. God was obviously the one who made everything. See http://www.icr.org/universe-power/
I like how everyone automatically assumes that “gloop” = “poop”. Could just be the garbage or their toxic waste you know. But then again, poop is so much funnier…
Kingof01- I must say that I applaud your tirade on “Pooch Cafe” 3/25! I do not listen to Rush (Limbaugh) however, the band Rush is my favorite. I supported the Vietnam soldiers, and always will. Many of them are friends of mine at my American Legion Post. I flew recon against Vietnam for 3 years so I suppose that earned me the right to “wave the flag”! Carry on, friend.I may not (and do not) agree with what you say, but I will (and have) defended your right to say it. Notice that I am saying this without calling your character into question, as you did mine. Seems you’ve still got a way to grow!
kingof01-You are TRULY hopeless. You just spew out anything that somneone shoves into that empty space between your ears! Perhaps you should try washing behind them! As far as your comment on “studying the war in Vietnam” my degree is in Asian Studies. I just don’t wear a “know-it-all” attitude on my sleeve, like you. Try walking a mile in a man’s shoes before you condemn him (Oh, I forgot, first you have to BE a man!)Guess that leaves you out!
Kingof01-I DID obtain my degree in Asian Studies from the COMMUNITY COLLEGE OF THE AIR FORCE! Therefore, I suppose I should start addressing you as “Mr. President.” You lower yourself even further (if that’s possible) by your name-calling. I need not defend my stance; and I wish I had never defended you. However, when hostile planes try to shoot a person down, you cannot choose, at that point, who you wish to defend. American forces do not get to “choose” where they fight, or whether that fight is right or wrong. They go where their superiors send them.
Only that this is far from being new or original… this idea already appears in a much more sophisticated form in the phantastic book “Dzienniki gwiazdowe” from 1957 (!), published in english as “The Star Diaries” (1976) and “Memoirs of a Space Traveller” (1982) by the great (and sadly late) Stanislav Lem.

The theory doesn’t make any sense! Do not bring anything from the stinky sewerage!

“gloop=poop” is funny, and most of us figured it out on our own. or is the earth one big petri dish?

So where did the space aliens come from? I guess we never have a starting point - or if we do it is something from nothing. Now that is a joke!

I still think the platypus was Bill and Ted’s attempt to make a real-life Pokemon.
