POTENTIALLY POLITICAL: Why are people scared of cloned meats when cloned meats are more equal than others?

Why do humans tend to like specific colors?

I was just wondering that.

Anywho... I'm off to bed! I think I've been trying to memorize conic equations for long enough! Good night! :)

Why do people draw hearts like ♥ even though real hearts look absolutely nothing like that?
I've been wondering the same thing!

Dear Albirea, One theory about the 'heart' symbol is that it is derived from a Voudon Veve'.
Seriously.

I've thought about it literally:

Operationally define "chicken" as the first "proper" chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) to roam the earth.
It had been evolved into from some ancestor(s), whose traits (caused by genetic mutations in both parents) have been passed down through generations.
The first time those particular genes that make a chicken a chicken are all found in one individual, is in an egg, which grows up to be the first proper chicken.
(That chicken's parents weren't real chickens because they didn't have all the traits that this offspring, the real chicken, had.)

Therefore, the egg came first. QED

Thats my thinking exactly. But they all gave me grief for it on PPR forum here when I presented that logic.

I do hope I'm making sense. Maybe I need to draw a diagram. :lol:

Well, I support this explanation, mainly because I'm a big believer in evolution. :wink:

I asked my Biology teacher this today (among other questions I've asked on this thread) during tutorial and he said it's because it's the shape on a woman's hips. :shrug:

Me: Why do they call it a heart then if that's the shape of a woman's hips?
Teacher: Because that where they stick in it the...
Me: ... I have another question. Why does the heart symbolize love?
Teacher: Because it's necessary for living and so is love.
Me: So do most of the other organs!

Is it possible to create a working model for the probability of a given internet user acting as a troll?

What would happen if one burned a turret filled with un-popped corn kernels?
