EricaJoy : the egg came first&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
EricaJoy : the chicken inside was a genetic mutation of some species that laid it&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
spz : yes&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
spz : the thing that laid the egg containing the first chicken was NOT a chicken&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
EricaJoy : i wonder what it was&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
spz : some sort of velociraptor&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
spz : you know, probably&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
EricaJoy : LOL&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
EricaJoy : i doubt it&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
spz : i know, dear&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
spz : i was kidding&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
EricaJoy : the species would have died out&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
EricaJoy : chickens are too tasty for any carnivore not to eat&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
spz : hehehe&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
spz : that doesn't make sense&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
spz : baby raptors were made of meat, too&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
spz : technically, humans are made of meat&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
EricaJoy : honestly&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
EricaJoy : i bet human tastes good&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
spz : omg&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
EricaJoy : i won't ever try to eat someone&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
spz : yes&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
EricaJoy : but i bet we do&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
spz : omg i would NEVER like TRY to eat a person&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
spz : BUT&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
spz : were it on the menu&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
spz : well-prepared&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
spz : hell yeah, i'd try it&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
spz : whether or not we taste good, i dunno&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
EricaJoy : you should write in your will that you don't want to be buried or embalmed or whatever&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
EricaJoy : when you die, if of natural causes, you should donate your body to dinner&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
spz : i want to be donated&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
spz : lol&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
EricaJoy : well donate the organs&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
spz : i was thinking for usable organs&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
spz : lol&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
EricaJoy : leave the meat for food&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
spz : the thing is&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
spz : ok, it is said that omnivores&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
spz : pigs and humans, for example&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
spz : will taste like pork&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
spz : but&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
EricaJoy : people taste like BACON?!&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
spz : pigs that are raised for pork are fed a controlled diet&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
spz : people eat like CRAP&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
spz : so your average person&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
EricaJoy : so we should be eating like&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
spz : me, for example&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
spz : is probably not very good&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
EricaJoy : the people who only eat organic food&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
spz : that sounds good....&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
spz : lol&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
spz : all the vegetarian propaganda says that vegetarians taste better&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
spz : SURPRISE SURPRISE&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
spz : but i think that's biased quackery&lt;br /&gt;&#13;

First of all, there’s a new technical jargon dictionary from Apple, and direct access to Wikipedia entries as well. There’s also a huge resource known as “front and back matter,” which you can reach by selecting Go -&gt; Front/Back Matter -&gt; New Oxford American Dictionary from Dictionary’s menu. In the front/back matter, you’ll find things such as a list of all US presidents, a chemical elements chart, standard weights and measures, countries of the world, and much more. If you haven’t checked it out yet, it’s quite impressive in its breadth.</description><link>http://tumblr.ericabaker.com/post/33027043</link><guid>http://tumblr.ericabaker.com/post/33027043</guid><pubDate>Sun, 27 Apr 2008 10:39:42 -0700</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
