  • I really wish Hitchens wouldn't butt in so much when Fry's talking.

  • I once saw someone tell the "Make me one with everything" joke to the freakin' Dalai Lama. He didn't get it.

  • ah thanks you :)

  • @CheekyVimto08 Our thumbs are quite unique in the animal kingdom in that they are opposing thumbs. meaning we can turn them to face the opposite way to our fingers. This has proved very useful in our evolutionary progress because it's helped us to build, use and master tools, and carry things. But because the opposing thumb is a new 'idea' in evolution, it's not yet been refined or optimised to do its job, and is a primitive thing. That's what he was saying. :)

  • @RhondaH I daresay considering they think themselves to be a Muslim country one wouldn't want to try!

  • Egyptian citizens have to carry ID cards with their religion designated on it too. To get your religious designation changed is virtually impossible.

  • our thumbs are ok a gripping, but if you were going to design a 5 fingered limb to grip it would be far more efficient.. it's the argument that if we were designed it was done pretty poorly.

  • @CheekyVimto08 thumbs up...

  • thank you for these free thinkings, they are not a dying bread

    long live free thought shared

    better than stand up

  • Oh Man oh man oh man. I wish I was such a clear thinker.
