Two hundred years ago, it would take months to get from New York City to Los Angeles. Hundreds of miles of rutted roads by horse and carriage and that would be the best part of the journey.
The people of 1821 would be amazed if they knew that within 200 years, you could make the journey in just a few hours in the comfort of a jetliner, where you would be drinking coffee or maybe having a Bloody Mary or two.
Now imagine that you could make the journey in just 15 minutes. How much would that change our world? We could have breakfast on the East Coast and be in Los Angeles before the sun even rises there.
You could live in the Mojave Desert of Southern California and commute to work in New York City. Or you could live in the backwoods of Maine and commute to LA.
Hah...GMTA!
re: “How are Babies made when you are having sex 6 feet apart?”
Alex, I’ll take Procreation for $200 ...
What is a turkey baster?
Maybe they can use a garden hose.
Use a ten-foot pole
Maybe it's best just to say H2.
No! Sh2!
No. Say: "the-one-with-only-one-proton-and-one-electron" just to be on the safe side. (Don't say atom--sounds too masculine.)
I think there’s an app for your smart phone for six foot sex.
Really good aim?
LOL
That or a slingshot.
No. Lots of post modernist were very happy. They are also very happy wen people die. Because they don't like humans.
Less people, more technological automation please!
You realize that the technological progress comes from people right?
Lots of people in fact.
I don’t know, CIP. I can’t figure out what the title has to do with the article. So I must side with humblegunner on this one.
LOL! And our daughter made pancakes for Easter breakfast!
After which I gave her and her brother chocolate bunnies. ;)
Oh no, not one of these threads again.
What was the headline again? How did it have to do with the random factoids?
I have no disagreement with anything that you said. Of course we need people to keep human civilization, but how many? If those who can afford to support their kids (including funding their education) want to have them, I am OK with that. I just don’t think we need an overall baby boom with the labor force evolving as it is.
I wish I wasn’t orphaned from photo sharing. Still don’t know what to do since Tinypic died.
But I know you mean to say “I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOURE TALKING ABOUT”.
6 feet, that’s Sex with 3 people in between? No thanks.
Crepidula fornicata
In the chapter on Sex and Size in his book The Flamingo's Smile Stephen Gould discusses the remarkable sex life of the slipper limpet, Crepidula fornicata . This curious creature starts out life as a male. They form stacks, with the smaller limpets (male) at the top of the stack and the larger ones (female) at the base of the stack -- this creature is a protogynous sequential hermaphrodite, changing to female as it grows larger. In any case, because the small males at the top of the stack of limpets must have some reliable way of getting their sperms to the large females at the bottom of the stack, the species has evolved a penis that is far longer than the length of the rest of its entire body (it can extend past the several other males likely to be between one male limpet and the females below).
Well, that's ONE way.
I hate show offs........
Boy I don’t know where to start here.
H is hydrogen, and IT is explosive. It is the one with 1 of each.
He is helium, which is NOT explosive.
HE is Helium’s preferred pronoun........
