Is this supposed to be funny?

I do not have a Grindr profile.

I just checked to see what it's about and I'd be very surprised if you have not received a warning already for this highly inappropriate and imbecilic comment.

I am not gay and I do not appreciate your pathetic attempt at humour.

[asiu]

i appreciate yours though

thank you

[desertsaint]

Could we just move the general forum into the animal enclosure? Might save a few hundred bans over the season?

Actually just move the whole bloody forum in there.

Hi Simon, could you please rescind Gaz's little holiday? Ta.

It's all a misunderstanding. Whilst I loathe it, surely there's nothing homophobic about caffeine...?

The Immortal Jellyfish

Even though there are some impressively old sea creatures, there is one that may have the ability to cheat death entirely. It’s known as the “immortal jellyfish”, a tiny five millimetre-long species named Turritopsis dohrnii. This heartless, brainless, transparent jelly is commonly found in the world’s oceans.

The secret to this jelly’s “immortality” is its reproductive cycle. Starting out as an egg that morphs into a small “polyp” (an immature version of itself that clings to a rock as it grows), the jelly eventually grows big enough to become a free-floating jellyfish, with the signature tentacles and “bell” shape.

When stressed, this jellyfish can degrade its tentacles and bell, reverting to an earlier version of itself that releases immature polyps. These “mini-me” polyps are all genetically identical to the jellyfish that once was, just younger versions of itself, which eventually mature into fully fledged jellies once more.


Of course, this “immortality” doesn’t prevent the jellyfish from being eaten or succumbing to disease, but theoretically, it can revert back to an immature state and regrow over and over again. Imagine reaching old age, with creaky joints and wrinkled skin, only to revert back to a toddler and begin all over again!

(n)onsensical....

Must admit, censorship these days has reached the levels of a form of entertainment.

It harks back to a bygone era when all the innocent little middle class kiddies could sit together in harmony, dropping trips and watching Willie Wonka, with Gene Wilder, and and wondering what life meant....

Of course this locale is more Groundskeeper Willie than Willie Wonka, but, one has to make do with what one has.....

I will impose my benevolent guidance upon those who did not realise they needed it. Their lack of awareness was of course a result of their ignorance and failure to follow the one true path.....

(p) oof , he isn’t one
