My brother came up with a weird theory at the weekend, which he said he came to whilst walking from Preston to Middlesbrough, via the Yorkshire Dales......
A ducks bum looks like an otters face! He reckons that when a duck has it's head in the water looking for food, it sticks it's bum in the air and as a defence mecanism it looks like an otters face.....
I think it was getting a bit dilusional when he came up with this theory, but when I think about it, it could make sense.....
Anybody else have any weird theories?
The Big Bang
Had he eaten any wild mushrooms on this walk?? 😯
Evolution
i wouldn't put it past him to be honest....he also said he was being followed by a deer all the way.......my brother is on the stranger side of life
I sometimes like to think that arguing on here has, just once, changed someones mind.
And then I'm back in the room.
A duck's bill looks like yellow dog mask for the same reason you know.
What has been seen can never be unseen. Dogs masks = duck bills forever in your head now.
He's not that daft. He knows to get out of Preston.
it sticks it's bum in the air and as a defence mecanism it looks like an otters face.....
Defence against what exactly? a randy gay rapist duck?

I was going to post the duck bill thing too!
I think that this is a fairly "out there" theory:

Did you hear the one about barnacle geese and goose barnacles?
Come on guys - next time it could be an otter's face.
aeroplanes. conveyer belts.
so is any body going to expand on any theories?
Penguins and Killer Whales are directly related.
As are badgers and pandas.
It's not much of a defence, is it.
Picture the scene... two foxes looking for food on the river bank...
"Look Steve, a duck, I'm having that ****er... "
"No, Dave, wait, shit, run, that's no duck, it's an otter that's drifting slowly away from us!!"
As are badgers and pandas.
... and Dickie Davies.
Supposedly people used to think that barnacle geese hatched from goose barnacles, hence both names. They do look pretty similar in a different kind of way.
I'm sceptical though that people could be that stupid even in olden times.
Ants are fish, and they live on bananas.
Ok the duck theory is a pretty stupid one, but.....can foxes swim?
The moon landings were faked.
I reckon it would have been easier to just land on the moon than it would have been to keep all the thousands of people quiet who were involved in creating the illusion of landing on the moon.

Earth has 4 corner simultaneous 4-day time cube, in only 24 hour rotation. Corner days, cubes 4-quad Earth. No 1 day God.
WAKE UP, SHEEPLE!
who was proberbly sat under a tree and thought, "i know im going to go and drink that white stuff which has come out of that cows udder"...isn't that weird.....but then again I suppose it goes for all food stuff, someone at some point must have said "let's try this"
so that time cube thing just looks like a lot of ranting and raving
can foxes swim?
This, and the related conundrum: can dogs look up?
Timecube... Nice find. That's awesome. He'll give a thousand dollars to anyone who can disprove his theory.
The moon landings were faked.
Of course they were, otherwise they would have discovered the race of super beings who control the Earth from the moon.
Is the timecube site where Charlie Sheen gets his material from?

Amazing! Cougar, you da man!
surely dogs can look up..otherwise how would they catch frisbys and balls and sticks

Ever tried neat Campari? I have no idea how anyone who was making a drink suddenly thought they had hit the jackpot with a drink that is so bitter it is undrinkable without mixing it!
Fish!
I've no idea who had the idea of eating them first but they must have been really, really hungry.
However, I can't explain why someone would want to eat a fish when there's other food around that doesn't taste like an unhygenic baboon's crack.
Possibly about kidney beans - they are poisonous when uncooked, so why do we eat them & who worked out we needed to boil them for at least 10 mins?
My theory goes that Stigs brother ate them and died.
Stig coveted his Grandma's cave because it had running water so he decided to kill her. Not wanting anybody knowing he did it, he decided to poison her & added kidney beans to her stew.
As we all know old ladies boil their veggies far (far) too much so she started her stew boiling and went off to watch the stonage equivalent of Corry & came back to her delicious stew... Stig didnt get the cave but he did discover a classic foodstuff.
As I see it there can be no other reason why we eat them.
stonage equivalent of Corry
Quarry?
Foxes can swim, they just choose not to. It's part of a plan.
A friend of mine insisted that people's behaviour was noticeably changed by the full moon. The theory being that the moon effects the tides and we being comprised of so much water are equally pulled about a bit.
Small. Far away.
Eating Bananas prevents incontinence in later life. FACT
I've got my doubts about gravity, sure, it explains a lot, but what about Danny Macaskill?

There are loads of instances of primitive peoples having to do stuff like this. When you've nothing to do but search for food all day and your life depends on it you'll get pretty canny.
my brother used to go out on the "pull" with a braclet of concors to give to a lucky lady. there were 10 on it because he said it tuned her to the moon

I remember a tale that there a bloke who did exactly this, years ago, and documented it all. In hindsight it sounds like an urban myth but I think this particular one was true.

Lunacy.

Came across this earlier today; thought it was great:
I'd rank that about the same level as the stupid question often asked by Christian idiots: "If we're descended from monkeys how come there's still monkeys?"
One of the half-wits probably wrote the "Atheist" thing - reads like the work of an ignoramous trying to be funny.

A - haaaa... Who is it being satirised?
Whole different level. 😉 😀

That's very much a Calvinistic point of view

Of course the other fish related one is why did so many Irish die in the famine, when they were an island, with lots of rivers and surrounded by fishy goodness?

yeah, what a moron. It's like he doesn't even know what caused the Big Bang or what existed before it, and for how long.
That's very much a Calvinistic point of view
Agreed, it sounds like the sort of thing that Hobbes would put him up to.

Humans didn't just appear from thin air you know.
We evolved from other creatures that ate stuff, and they from other creatures again that at other stuff, and so on.
Of course the other fish related one is why did so many Irish die in the famine, when they were an island, with lots of rivers and surrounded by fishy goodness?
The answer is in the question. There clearly was not enough fish or fishing capacity to feed everyone otherwise people would not have died. D'you think people sat around thinking 'oh look at all that fish, but I really want a potato so I'll just starve to death instead'?
Hoops' law of diminishing sanity:
The diameter of the ear ring hoop is inversely proportional to sanity.
The answer is in the question. There clearly was not enough fish or fishing capacity to feed everyone otherwise people would not have died. D'you think people sat around thinking 'oh look at all that fish, but I really want a potato so I'll just starve to death instead'
But there is nothing written about the overfishing of rivers and seas. It may be that the nasty Landowners didn't allow them to fish the rivers, but there was no migration to the coast either. To say the answer is in the question is just circular.
He's not that daft. He knows to get out of Preston.
This is very much outweighed by the fact he was walking to Middlesbrough.
That's very much a Calvinistic point of view...
Agreed, it sounds like the sort of thing that Hobbes would put him up to
Perhaps, but my reading of it is that it was very much his own thinking. It's not clear where the thought is rooted, but it certainly does not seem that Hobbes had any influence at all.

Don't much see how that applies.
Are you seriously suggesting that anybody does?
Edit: *whisper* actually, that's not what Atheists maintain... (Hence "who is it being satirised")...

No, but I'm not the one suggesting that what was written reads like the work of an ignoramus
Edit: *whisper* actually, that's not what Atheists maintain.
you don't believe in the Big Bang?
it is amusing description but it is not a belief it is a theory based on empirically validated observations that may be replaced by other better explanation of observed data. A belief is the faith in a thing known but not proven - biblical defintion BTW -
So what word would you use for your 'belief' in the Big Bang Theory?
Or how would you rephrase the question?
Got nothing to back it up but my pet theory is that childhood obesity is at least partly caused by removal of food addatives. Hyper kids burn more calories.
Surprised no-one has picked up on the fact that the theories that the image lampoons, have nothing to do with Atheism.
Atheism is simply the opinion that there is no such thing as god, due to complete lack of evidence. It places the idea of a (any) god on about the same level as a belief in fairies, unicorns, or the idea that the earth is controlled by magic penguins on the moon using astrology.
The image should be headed "Science" (which, by the way, hypothesises that a "singularity", not "nothing" caused "something" to exist, so it's factually wrong from the get-go anyway.
Of course, it's possible that the thing could be a lampoon of the sort of statement that stupid religious people might come up with and think they've said/done something clever, as in "If we evolved from monkeys etc...."
Edit: Before anybody gets in a froth and starts accusing me of being a horrid, nasty evildoer, that's as in "religious people who happen to be stupid as well as religious" BTW.
my theory.. is that anything other than a sex, drugs and rock and roll lifestyle is an insult to the gift that we refer to as 'the life experience..'
It's all your brain and body need, apparently... 😀
Woppit why are you even bothering to argue against such a stupid poster?
I understand why Woppit does it, because some people are on an anti religion crusade, like my Dad, he doesn't have anything productive to do with his life. He's coming next weekend, I might have to start a thread on here, get him a username and him and Woppit can live happily ever after.

Are you in a cult? Is he coming to rescue you?
I think it makes him feel clever and strong.
Perhaps if he had faith in God instead he'd be more secure and not need to belittle people so much... 🙂

Well that makes a whole load more sense now! How long was that 'singularity' there before it decided to go off on one?
Ah I see. If you can't understand it, it must be wrong?
No wonder "a magic man did it" has its followers. Nice and simple.

Not a valid question, since there was no time either.
Don't try and apply common sense to this. It's like trying to describe colours to someone who can only see black and white. Just not possible.
I haven't said it is wrong and I haven't said a 'magic man did it'. I'm only asking Woppit to tell me a bit more about what he knows. But if you can shed some light on it, then that would be great.

Sure, but if there was time, how long would it have been

Hmmm, now this sounds familiar, I remember talking to some bloke who came to my door about something like this and he pretty much said the same thing
No wonder "a magic man did it" has its followers. Nice and simple.
It seems no simpler than "there was a magic singularity that suddenly went Bang!!! and everything that now exists suddenly appeared"
But if you can shed some light on it, then that would be great.
I'm quite relaxed about not understanding the detail.
I'll leave that to Dr Hawking and his mates. Reading his latest book might be a better bet than seeking the wisdom of aging IT professionals and occasional pedalers of overpriced toys. 🙂
It seems no simpler than "there was a magic singularity that suddenly went Bang!!! and everything that now exists suddenly appeared"
I bet the maths behind it is more complicated than what's behind the "magic man" theory.

You don't have to. You could read a book about it. You could even study the proofs yourself.

Nah, if long time believers like you haven't, I see no real need to.
sorry, I blinked, do I need to believe in God to believe in a scientific theory? Hmmm.
I think we don't need to worry about God. The soul on the other hand...
