The wiki page for cloaca has a picture of a seagull pooping. Also a hawk’s butt. Classy.
Seeing a penguin poop might have been the funniest thing I've ever experienced. I was at the zoo with my ex and there were a bunch of young children around. One of the penguins just turned around, raised its flippers, stood up on its tip-toes, and blasted all over the glass. Children started either laughing or screaming. It was so great.
We were down at the St. Louis zoo a few years ago, and they have this room that you can walk through that has a bunch of penguins just right there, literally inches away from you with no bars or glass.
No poop was encountered, but one of the group did get splashed with water.
Ultimately, W_H, it's another No True Scotsman argument. What makes a person a true Christian or Buddhist? I think the central ideas of Christianity are that Christ was a real person, who died for our sins, and that redemption (in the afterlife) can only come by being Christ-like. I don't think you can call yourself a Christian just by acting like Jesus without accepting the notions of the afterlife and salvation.
However, the core beliefs of Buddhism in my opinion are the four noble truths and the escape from suffering via the eightfold path. If you accept those, you're a True Scotsm--- err, Buddhist.
I suppose I agree with this, I'm just really tired of the people around me that have labelled themselves Buddhist. I guess I just don't understand the point of it at all to an even greater degree that I don't understand the point of religion in general.
Admittedly, much of my experience with Buddhism outside of the academic world came with people that were devout Christians but wanted to show how open-minded they were, and I immediately questioned their motivations.
Zimmydoom, Zimmydoom
Flew away in a balloon
Had sex with polar bears
While sitting in a reclining chair
Now there are Zim-Bear hybrids
Running around and clawing eyelids
Watch out, a Zim-Bear is about to have sex with yooooooou!

St. Louis zoo? I might have to make this a stop on my cross-cuntry bike trip, presuming the $1.5k worth of hospital treatment and drugs I was forced to acquire today don't completely fuck up my plans.
Like, is there some sort of hate measurement standard? People always say stuff like "Oh I hate X sooo much," but do they really have a quantitative value for their hate?

I hate Mikeman more than I hate the guy who killed my mother and father.

well, a lot of time has gone by since then, and I am a forgiving person. so for me, as far as evaluating my hate, you when you killed my mother and father is a lot different than you right now. I currently hate you even more than I did back when you killed my mother and father before I forgave that you for killing my mother and father.

do you impact the ball at any point in time with, say, an appendage? perhaps a hand or... a foot?
There, I found a use for my carry-on bag. I packed all of my unused stationary in there. Two different gauges of binders, ten project folders, one presentation binder, a five-column ledger, a six-column ledger, two college-ruled notebooks, one sheaf of graph paper, and a packet of spare sheet protectors and binder dividers.

Well, it is trendy to call yourself a Buddhist in some circles.
In Santa Cruz, Buddhism was all played out and the cool kids were all converting to Brahmanism. (And calling it "Hinduism.")
I'd be all, "O RLY? So you believe that poor people are poor because they deserve to be from sins during a previous life?" "Oh, no, you don't need to believe in the caste system to be Hindu!" "Well, no, but that's only because Hinduism encompasses a really wide range of beliefs but everything else you're doing in particular comes from Brahmanism of which the caste system is a central tenet." "Well, I just like being vegetarian... and stuff..."
^ highly paraphrased, of course.

every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

That's a disturbing amount of stationary. Do you self-publish a lot of manifestos?
