Lol...more theories. I already told you. I have the only soul. So...I know you're lying. Remember? The man on the unicorn never lies, and he told me when I bought it from him. So...tell Descartes to suck one!

That's good, that's real good. But you have to dress it up in old english language so that it sounds more official.

Thou hath been warned, I, only haveth a soul, and thou deceiveth through thy teeth. Does thou not remember the man who rideth the unicorn, who speaketh only that which is true? It was he who declared it so whence I purchased the beast from him. Therefore, curse Descartes to commit oral sin.

Google "arguments for dualism" and you'll find plenty of motivations for the idea of a 'soul' or 'immaterial mind' from both religious and secular philosophers. It's a large, respected field of study.

Oh yeah...the force is strong with this one...

You gotta love that appeal to emotion there at the end. Just biology? I can't be. I'm too special for that!

That joke is WAY older than Futureama. I remember hearing it in grade school back in the 70's.

Meh, I liked it better when I called you out for ripping off a cartoon, and you didn't know any better.

How can you call someone out for referencing a joke that he openly admitted wasn't his? I mean how stupid are you? He could've easily just linked the YouTube video right to his post rather than quote the joke and it wouldn't have reflected poorly on him whatsoever.

Adding to your stupidity, you write the words that he, "didn't know any better."


I'll put it into perspective for you. Here's a joke/insult that isn't mine. I did not create this. I was not the first person to use this. People have been saying this for decades long before I was born.....





Did you want to "Call Me Out" on this too?

Wow cinny, do you really feel so Insecure here that you need the last word on a conversation your not even apart of? If so, know you have my blessing. and you may have the last word if you need it so badly, that you have to drop your current self righteous rant to pick up this one.

IT WAS ME.

For reference I heard that joke first when I was at school.
I left school in 1984.

And they did use snoo snoo at the time as the word for sex so I guess that was where futureama got it from.
