Something to pass time ...

In honor of Kansas debating on whether to teach evolution or creationism, tell me how we got here, and be as creative as possible. :)

First, the earth cooled. And then the dinosaurs came. But they got to big and fat, and turned into oil. And then the Arabs came, and they all drove Mercedes-Benzes.

The Universe spontaneously blinked into existance a moment ago, fully formed in it's current state, with memories pre-programmed into the minds of all sentient beings which give the illusion of being a part of an ongoing continuum. The entire creation/evolution debate is an illusory phantasm, which would probably continue to rage on, if it were not for the reassuring fact that this Universe is due to be destroyed and replaced any moment now.

Oh, and the creator is a bunny with a tophat named Maurice. Why he named his tophat, we may never know.

Im in with the idea of the people whose names i cant remember..from the Hitchhiker's Guide. the ones who believe we were all sneezed out of the creators nose, and fear the coming of The Great White Handkerchef.

Bless you my children!

When a jumped-up monkey on a backwater planet and a Time Lord with an ape fixation love each other very much...

Oh Jesus McFuck. Not AGAIN. We went through this once already and it got reversed.

Do you mean personally? My mother bought me from a travelling troll.

Humans overall? There's something about soup, chicken maybe? Then some fish developed legs and moved to land because the other fish made fun of them. Don't know how humans came about from that, maybe the fish started shaving their legs?

I liked to take naps in school, can you tell?

Bree baked us, and so we all started from a state of perfection. However, Lynette came over and guilt-tripped Bree into handing all of us over for her brats to enjoy, and being exposed to the Scavo house is where sin came into the mix.

When an economic, political conservative and a hard-line evangelist Christian love each other very much.....


they spawn an unholy bastard child (with some anti-intellectualism thrown in from their Uncle) and screw the rest of us over.

Once upon a time, man invented the computer, and it was good. But man looked and saw that if he could connect his computer to another computer, it would be better. And so it was done, and done again, and done again. And lo, man looked upon this network he had wrought, and said, "Hey, I think there's some potential here for distributing information and communication to everybody!"

And then there was porn.

Once upon a time, there was a person. And another person. And probably more than that, but those two are the ones we're talking about right now. And so those first two people made lots and lots of babies, and the babies grew up and made babies with those other persons that I talked about before, and I just completely lost track of what I was saying.

My thoughts exactly..... wasn't being a national laughingstock once enough for the state? *headdesk*

Personally, I blame the penguins. You cannot trust anything that wears evening wear all day.

This Queen of Wands icon says all that needs to be said on that subject.

I took a dump on an asteroid, and we're nothing but the fetid bacteria growing from the decomposition of said dumpings.

Wanna know something worse? What if our planet is a real mistake --- we have none of the "elements" common to the universe and in fact what we DO have, no one wants or needs, so the intelligent races put a marker close to this system saying "THIS PLACE SUCKS".

That and our Mt. Dew is toxic to all forms of intelligent life.

Or we could be simulated characters in someone's computer screen, a la The Sims or whathaveyou.

Lizard Rat out.

If you can be arsed, you can go read the beginning chapter of my book that I posted the other day, which explains just that and is creative but not short :)

Either that, or we're all just a figment of Neil Gaiman's imagination, which is why everyone thinks he's god.

Well, one day in the Void, a coupla black holes got hungry and decided to cook up a few planets as a tasty snack. One fell under the sofa and had time to evolve mouldy stuff on its surface, and eventually sentient lifeforms... They never suspected that if the black holes ever decided to vacuum under the sofa, they would be DOOMED.

Once there was a man dreaming he was a butterfly. And when he woke up, he was a butterfly, and he dreamed up this whole wonderful world in which he could live.

According to the Gospel of Stephen Trask:

¹When the earth was still flat, and the clouds made of fire, and mountains stretched up to the sky, sometimes higher, ²folks roamed the earth like big rolling kegs. They had two sets of arms. They had two sets of legs. ³They had two faces peering out of one giant head so they could watch all around them as they talked; while they read. ⁴And they never knew nothing of love. ⁵It was before the origin of love.

⁶And there were three sexes then, one that looked like two men glued up back to back, called the children of the sun. ⁷And similar in shape and girth were the children of the earth. They looked like two girls rolled up in one. ⁸And the children of the moon were like a fork shoved on a spoon. They were part sun, part earth, part daughter, part son.

⁹Now the gods grew quite scared of our strength and defiance, and Thor said, ¹⁰"I'm gonna kill them all with my hammer, like I killed the giants." And Zeus said, ¹¹"No, you better let me use my lightning, like scissors, like I cut the legs off the whales and dinosaurs into lizards." ¹²Then he grabbed up some bolts and he let out a laugh, said, ¹³"I'll split them right down the middle. Gonna cut them right up in half." ¹⁴And then storm clouds gathered above into great balls of fire.

¹⁵And then fire shot down from the sky in bolts like shining blades of a knife. And it ripped right through the flesh of the children of the sun ¹⁶and the moon and the earth. And some Indian god sewed the wound up into a hole, pulled it round to our belly to remind us of the price we pay. ¹⁷And Osiris and the gods of the Nile gathered up a big storm to blow a hurricane, to scatter us away, in a flood of wind and rain, and a sea of tidal waves, to wash us all away.

¹⁸And if we don't behave they'll cut us down again and we'll be hopping round on one foot ¹⁹and looking through one eye.

I don't know about you guys, but I took the bus.

There is no we, there is only you. And you are a computer simulation launched at 3:15 a.m. this morning but bored space college freshmen who wanted to create the most absurd world possible.

Everyoone else is merely an element in the simulation.

It all started when the Fake Turtle started coughing. The Gryphon tried to make him feel better, but all it ended up leading to was the Cheshire Cat sneezing, and thus the world started.

First, there was Mike Mulligan's steam shovel. It dug a big hole. Into it were poured the following:

All the doughnuts made by the doughnut machine the day Homer Price made them all including the one with the ring;
Pikachu;
The stupid glass-eyed pirate from the Black Pearl, Einstein, Britney, and Roseanne;
Ellen Tebbit's long underwear;
Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who, and Mrs. Which;
and Fantastic Mr. Fox's food storehouse.

Then, this was all stirred up by the Wicked witch's flying monkeys swarming in circles.

Then, the primordial goo thereby created was poured out, by Q, onto the Giant Griddle in the Sky to make great pancakes, which were eaten by Zeus. Then, humanity sprung, fully formed, out of his head, landed on the ground, bounced, and found itself at the top of the beanstalk, where it stole the harp and opened Pandora's box.

Pandora decided this was better than simply touching her box, but that's another story.

Upon return to solid earth, dragons toasted humanity until well-done, necessitating the invention of firemen. However, Mrs. O'Leary's cow distracted them, but fortunately the toastees were mostly Cylons anyway, so all was well.

And that is how we got here.

Oh, and somewhere in there, Al Gore invented the internets.
