I'd be tried as a war criminal.
Because I eat a lot of meat, before you start maligning me as a zoophiliac.
Maybe they'd be enlightened. Maybe they'd be "down wid eatin' peeps, yo?"
Don't underscore the magnitude of my sins against animal kind.
I'm the Slobdan Milozevic of meat.
If I don't face trial, then where is the justice?

Is a zooophiliac someone too frightened to f**k zooo?

If thats the case then everyone is a Charlyphiliac
Quote: SlagA @ February 10, 2008, 6:50 PMCurt, I wrote a novel incorporating string theory and the schroedinger's cat paradox. I love love love it.
Very cool! May I ask for what the plot is?

(Yes.)

He'll probably send you a copy if you ask nicely!

Its filled with holes
Boo-Yeah! Back of the net! (Come on Aaron that deserved a boo-yeah 
)
That would be a zoophobiac, a zoophiliac loves zoos and all their animals.
Sometimes they get caught sneaking in at night, to express their love, with rohypnol, and ripe bananas.

I know I got it wrong but I couldn't think of the right meaning.
If a zoophiliac loves zoos does a haemophiliac love blood then?
Clot!
Yes, but it keeps getting away from them.

Now THAT is filled with holes.
I agree with Aaron.
But then you could also say much the same thing about science itself.
How limited actually are we?
We can only perceive the world through a small number of senses, and even these aren't 'direct' so to speak, but just our brains translating incoming sound waves or photons etc into sounds or images.
How do we know there isn't really so much more around us? A creature that is born blind for instance could never understand colour, and would probably never realise that it even existed. We've been able to learn a lot just because we can see colours - like red shift patterns enabling us to tell that gallaxies are moving away from each other etc.
Maybe there is much more around us than we think, but because we don't have the means of perceiving them we will never be able to know that they're there?
As Aaron said, we are so arrogant and just assume we can figure everything out based on what we already know and what we are able to perceive.
I always reckoned that if Alien's were to contact us it wouldn't be in a physical form.
I mean mass and Speed of Light, and relativity and all that.
But if they communicated they would be moving as energy, and therefore mass free, and able to move at the Speed of Light.
Would the easiest way to communicate with us, be to attach themselves to the internet (wifi?), and observe/communicate there.
Always wandered if every one you meet on the internet is truly of this world.....
I'm pretty sure that if they're sufficiently advanced enough to communicate via energy rather than physically, then they've prrrooobably mastered the art of travelling at or faster than the speed of light - if not just instantaneously jumping to wherever they want to be.
That's where I'm not sure, I mean by the 1920s we could bounce radio signals off the moon.
We can fire radio waves millions of miles into deep space.
But we can only manage a few thousand miles to the moon.
Manned space flight is needlessly moving thousands of pounds of organic bulk.
