I was looking through my old short story thread where meta posted a link to Flappie. It was really scary. Any Dutch heard about this?

't Was Christmas morning, 1961...

Are there Dutch who haven't heard of it?

Flappie

That song reminds me of when I was little. My uncle (who is only a few years older than me) was pissed off on Christmas eve when he didn't get the present he wanted. Everything went downhill from there to him, that evening. Everything he grabbed seemed to fell and he was getting scary because how pissed off he was. Well, on the Christmas morning my grandparents' cat was missing. The cat was my uncle's best pet and he loved her to no end. Well, the cat was found nailed on our shed's back wall, almost like crucified. It also had a bullet hole and stabs on it. My uncle was so devastated that he still doesn't celebrate Christmas to this day. It devastates me to watch him when someone starts talking before Christmas "Oh it's Christmas soon. Yay!" or "I should really get some Christmas presents", cause I can see it hurts his heart.

That's scary in a sad way.

Who Would do such a thing to cat? And why? What's this Flappie by the way?

Google "F-L-A-P-P-I-E".

I'm not much of an animal lover, but folks like that who I was talkin about, should just have the same done to them.

Scorpion ain't an animal. It's an arachnid.

Really I thought it was mammal...

Yes, a scorpion is an arachnid, because it has eight legs. Mammals have bones, hair, and mammary glands. Mammals and arachnids are two classes in the animal kingdom.

Therefore, it is an animal.

By the way, what's a flappie? Isn't that when someone shoves a pineapple into a sock and runs around swinging it?

Scorpions lay eggs therefore they are not mammals. Only mammas that lay eggs are platypuses.

Therefore, it is an animal

Well, yeah. But who refers to humans as animals even though we are? Yeah, pretty much nobody.

Humans are a kind of animal. SO there's no harm in calling someone, "Hey, you animal!"

*smiles* *coff*

Wait human isn't a arachnid?

Only mammas that lay eggs are platypuses.
Wait, I thought Echidnas laid eggs

Also, "mammas"

... Wikipedias... ok, all montremes (Platypuses and Echidnas) lay eggs. And are epically cute

lol I meant mammals *blushes*

Wait human isn't a arachnid?

Hilarious image! XD And slightly disturbing. Makes me think of that Human Centipede movie.

Arachnids are a class (Arachnida) of joint-legged invertebrate animals in the subphylum Chelicerata. All arachnids have eight legs, although in some species the front pair may convert to a sensory function. The term is derived from the Greek word ἀράχνη meaning "spider".
Almost all extant arachnids are terrestrial. However, some inhabit freshwater environments and, with the exception of the pelagic zone, marine environments as well. They comprise over 100,000 named species, including spiders, scorpions, harvestmen, ticks, mites and Solifugae.

I think that proves some humans are arachnids, although fewer now than in the olden days.

Of course, it must be like that if "Darwin's theory of evolution" is correct.

Bug is bug cat is cat more to ask? Humans are dominiant so cats cant talk here...

Of course, it must be like that if "Darwin's theory of evolution" is correct.

"IF" being the keyword here.

<I can talk - ree! ree!>

dont worry schnapps, i'll put you outta yer suffering now you CAN'T talk

Well if a theory stays as a theory. You should always use "IF"

Nope.

The word 'theory' in the scientific sense doesn't at all refer to how well it has been proven or not.

You had me on disadvantage sir...

Heh, why take well balanced battles?
