Don't be redundant. anime freaks == chronic masturbation
And crawling on the planet's face
Some insects called the human race
Lost in time

Enrolling in Anth101 at the NVCC does not make you an "anthropology student."

commenting on the work BYU has done in the past. He looked at me perplexed and asked what I meant. The dead sea scrolls I mentioned were brought to light because of the work of FARMS a couple of years ago. He guffawed and mentioned, as I had known and set him up for, Googles release of the dead sea scrolls online, a rather trivial activity the Church touted as its great gift to the study of Antiquity. We then launched into a discussion concerning the tenets of Mormon "scholarship" and the need to draw absurd conclusions between mesoamerican, native (north) american cultures, etc to the Book of Mormon narrative.


This is like saying that cartography should have never existed; we should have just waited for Google maps to do it. Those cartographic fools in ancient Babylonia didn't contribute anything to humanity! In Ancient Greece, Homer was so stupid to try to make a map of his country. He didn't contribute a damn thing to humanity, to geography, or to cartography -- hell, Google did it in 1/10th of the time, and provides it for free!

What a silly, pathetic display of masturbatory retardation.
