If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Geocentrism works fine as an everyday convention, a sort of shorthand to simplify the maths. It's easier to talk of sunrise and sunset, for example, or to consider the stars as being attached to a sky dome, because on the scale at which we generally operate, orbital and celestial mechanics - while obviously more representative of reality - don't really affect things all that much.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

My girlfriend thinks I'm a stalker. Well...she's not my girlfriend "yet".

I discovered a new vitamin that fights cancer. I call it ...B9

I also invented a diet pill. It works great but had to quit taking it because of the side effects. Turns out my penis is larger and my hair grew back. And whoa! If you think my hair is nice!

When does size truly matter? When it's TOO big!

I'm currently working on a new pill I call "Destenze". However...now my shoes don't fit.

Don't be afraid. I don't think there's much danger of that happening.

You do give the impression of someone who finds thought challenging.

Not smart, but challenging? Sure that isn't "challenged"?

Heh, there was this other guy on another thread that said bombs violate the 2nd law of thermodynamics, so I am not surprised.

You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
