silly humor - post 'em here! [warning some NSFW and adult content]

I thought it looked familiar...it's a Facebook game.

Can these games be played offline?   When looking at 'Enchanted Realm', my first thought was "I wonder how many people play cross-gender?"

"I want a computer that will drive them crazy. I want a computer that will drive them mad." Number#1 song of mad scientists.  Apologies to John Cougar Mellencamp .

I believe they are all social games to be played online.

I dunno, but some of them probably get hotmail...

Grandpa gets an I-Pad ...
While a daughter is visiting her father and helping in the kitchen, she asks,
"Tell me dad, how are you managing with the new iPad we gave you for your birthday?"
This clip is spoken in German but it's easily understandable in any language.

Not sure whether this has been posted before.
I and my 4 ½ y/o son just spent about 10 minutes trying to find this cat in the photo. I had forgotten where it was.
I used a magnifying glass in the end, and that did the trick. Superb camouflage. The image is a bit bigger here, so that should help.

Isn't called the godwin point or something like that (sorry, late here, no time to google...).

Yes it is, and that's normally a Basement trigger. : )

Eh... I think it depends on context.  And along those lines, silly humor from tosh.0

Interesting experiment that is ... I think it speaks volumes about the current hyper-reactive -(PC)- trend our society has devolved into of looking for things to be offended by. Sure intent unknown some things might - by inflection - sound insulting...but racist?? No. Racist/sexist/elitist/whatever are all patterns of behavior, not terms or phrases.

How can you tell the sex of an ant?

Throw it in some water. Girls sink. And

if it floats...

it's boyant.

I have added a ringed image below the invisible cat picture above, so that you can spot the tabby cat there.
The image of the cat is not the clearest, but it is more easily seen with a magnifying glass (as opposed to digitally enlarging it). Sharpening it also helps, but that also distorts some of the image.
@crabby3: You must have copied and saved the image, resulting in some lossiness, so you can barely discern the cat in the lossy image.

Yes, perception and political correctness. I think you could try to define these things as being "patterns of behaviour", but I'm not sure that psychologists would necessarily be able to agree with that without at least some better definition. The problem is that, in usage, such terms often seem to be merely clichéd ad hominem attacks - simplistic and pejorative labels which appear to be intended to force other people to maintain the labeller's paradigm or cognitive bias - i.e., it becomes mandatory that the thing being labelled be perceived in that light. If one does not perceive the thing in the "correct" light, then one is punished by the pejorative label being applied to oneself, either directly or by implication - e.g., "If you can't see that that is a racist thing to do/say, then you must be a racist also" (which is a non-sequitur). This would seem to be irrational.

Where can you get a new skull?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The scullery.

scullery skú-lu-ree

Can you skulk without a skull?

Who was smarter? Mulder or Scully?

= me if you are serious.

Truthfully i couldn't find the feline at first... but found her during my edit of your pic.  Please compare your pic to mine.  There is no cat in mine.
But there is an added grave marker, a pile of dirt and rocks hiding the tabby. 

p.s. if persons cannot find a creature in my grey-branches 'more great camo' pic... i really don't give a hoot.

...in the same vein(or is that artery?)

The psychologists are right to object to things as vague as "patterns of behavior". That's a slightly aggressively creepy way for putting a negative slant on anything that isn't "crazier than a nutcase loon playing a chaotic random D&D character in real life"!



I'll try to add a new angle: political correctness especially pays overt attention to the differences between denotation and connotation, and also creates "excluded middle" fallacies. So you don't have to see things in the PC label's context, but it then forces you to then use it as the "anti" opposite.

Crap, I can really respond to this properly without going radically outside the intent on the thread. Perhaps it would be better (easier/safer/more appropriate) if this tangent was moved to the basement.
