Smurfy and I were talking the other day, and he wanted to kill half the world.
It was a reasonable thing to want to do too. You see he'd just read a statistic that pointed out that the population of Germany is added to the world each year. That's really true. The population of Germany... and that's allowing for deadies.
So after doing some pretty complicated mathamatics, he concluded that statistic means we are all doomed if we don't reduce the population. (I guess he's thinking that even half of us being doomed is better than 100%).
He was trying to work out the test or questionnaire that you would give you the thumbs up or down. He had "pick one of these four foods", and if the person picked without trying the foods, they got the heave ho. I suggested that if you were unable to explain your own remote controls to a child, you got the chop. We argued for a while about cultural bias, philosohical positions on "what is person" like Peter Singer would... all the normal stuff when you're supposed to be doing work.
We're yet to agree, but I do have the walk-up start, for who goes first. This guy is the absolute dinner winner.
I would like to add the following to the developing list of "thumbs up, thumbs down" questions:
ReplyDelete1. Do you wear skirts and ugg boots (at the same time)?
2. Do you have the southern cross tatooed anywhere on you body?
(I assume this question will wipe out half of the sutherland shire and therefore make housing in the area more affordable for me in the future)
3. Do you constantly use the word "like" when speaking to others?
4. Do you watch Big Brother?
Absolutely superb and right on the money.
ReplyDeleteI think you should stay, I will put in a word with Smurfenator and see if we can't work something out.
