I was born in Wales. I used this to diffuse an argument at work where a creationist and someone that understands evolution were going at it.
When he said, "what? so you believe we came from whales?"
I said, "I came from Wales!"
Thought it was funny.
what? so you believe we came from whales?
What the absolute fuck? How one's mind gets into this?
Creationism is one hell of a drug
I see you've never dealt with a creationist! I found it funny because he could have picked any other animal but he picked a whale which is so far out there.
My older brother was a Mormon. Before he "converted" I remember him teaching me about why giraffes necks could be long and such (he was wrong as we have newer theories now anywho). I remember like a few months after he spent time with the elders he came back and said something like, "you know why I don't believe in evolution? because it's not like eskimos have thicker skin or anything".
I've been fascinated with creationism after all these interactions so listened to talks with Richard Dawkins and Kenneth Miller and such for years afterwards.
It's really interesting as well because you can see the Republican playbook used for evolution for so many things afterwards. Also, things like singing songs to kids about how dinosaurs were in the Bible and stuff crazy stuff.
Maybe because all life originally came from the ocean? They don't understand that the animals that exist now are not the same as the common ancestors we share with them. And they definitely don't understand that whales' ancestors left the water, but then they came back!
Reminds me of a Czech joke.
Thanks I’m going to bust this out on Slack for our Prague team with zero context.
Are you a man who's been stabbed twice by two girls from Wales?
Which scenario does this fit.
Scenario 1:
Scenario 2:
Neither.
Your scenarios are both 'stabbed by two girls from Wales'. Except if in your Scenario 2 it's the same girl, in which case it becomes 'stabbed twice by a girl from Wales'.
What you need is Scenario 3:
Where X could be 1, 2, or other, and Y is the complement to X, or other.
I figure guy gets stabbed twice and our Welsh Queens keep their mouths shut.
Is that James May? Must be his later adulthood after he lost his macaroni.
