The colour of fire is blue, but it appears orange to our eyes due to dust fragments igniting in its presence. A flame lit in a perfectly clean oxygenated atmosphere burns lovely blue.

Speaking of colour, skin-tone is pretty unimportant by any logical estimate. It's the exact same pigmentations that decide your eye colour that take care of texture colorisation of your skin. So, what? Are we going to start harassing people for having brown or green or blue eyes? Because really there's no difference between discrimating against eye colour and discriminating against skin colour. Yeah, large parts of human history are pretty embarrasing when you think about them.

Remember back during the plague when they were burning the very animal that would've done the best effort towards keeping down the populations of the squeeky little pests that were really responsible for spreading the infection? Oy...

Humans, like animals, instinctively fear the unknown. Given that one of our points of pride is that we're superior to feral animals, is it too much to ask that we give the stupid unfounded prejudice a rest? I don't think so. Incidentally, dolphins as a species do not fear the unknown. Take a lesson.

I should really dust around my computer more often.

North-Koreans are funny people. Just saying long hair is out of fashion isn't their angle. No, there's got to be a major proclamation that long hair makes people less intelligent because it sucks up the blood from the brain. Ah, ignorance - is there nothing you can't achieve?
Not that I've got anything against Koreans. Two of my cousins were born in that country, and I care about them greatly, so more power to the fact that geography is irrellevant.

I have no normal friends. It's a job well done. I don't mind norms. They're just dull to hang around for the most part. Give me the odd, the unusual, the weird, the hungy, the weary...oh wait. I think I lost track somewhere. Whatever. I like weird people like myself.

Creationism seems silly. I'm not saying it can't be true, I'm just saying that if is true, then it's an awfully silly fashion for an all-powerful being to shape the universe. I'm just sayin'.

Shadow Vandale is awesome.

Where the heck do all these dust bunnies come from anyway?

I should stop slouching and improve my posture a bit. I may end up with a bad back when I get older. Not a fun fate, given the torments I've seen my father endure because of it.

Bouncing heart is so my favourite emoticon.
