The Brain

You people are sickos.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Eh, I get similar reactions when I reveal I don't know how to swim. It's not a skill you're born with. If you don't have a reason to learn you don't learn.

I do know how to ride a bike, but I don't because it hurts my knees. It also took many, many failed attempts to learn. Trying a couple times and giving up doesn't mean you're not suited for it. It just means you gave up.

Reasons to learn- being in water is pleasant. Not drowning.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

I didn't know how to swim until two years ago.  Then I googled it and got a hang of it.  It's actually harder to swim in a pool than it is in salt water.

Yes, I suppose what with the walls and all.

That's it.  Too many Assburgers for breakfast.  I'm full.

And the fact that I don't even know how to ride a bicycle.

What the FUCK!? :rolleyes:

I can't ride a bicycle either.  Pretty sure lots of people can't. 

Neither can I. And I once knew how.

Chipping in, I can't ride a bike either.

I won't take it even if it were free.  They would have to pay me to store it.

I do think it is a strong example of art market being distorted. Even in a mansion, how do you display?

I did though buy my first proper art piece today!

What if I just cook and eat part of it?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

It was made of silicone and fibreglass, Raz, so I would advise against that.
