[hide=] No, it's thousands of years of wearing cloth. Start with a cage containing five monkeys. Inside the cage, hang a banana on a string and place a set of stairs under it. Before long, a monkey will go to the stairs and start to climb towards the banana. As soon as he touches the stairs, spray all of the other monkeys with cold water. After a while, another monkey makes an attempt with the same result -- all the other monkeys are sprayed with cold water. Pretty soon, when another monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent it. Now, put away the cold water. Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new one. The new monkey sees the banana and wants to climb the stairs. To his surprise and horror, all of the other monkeys attack him. After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs, he will be assaulted. Next, remove another of the original five monkeys and replace it with a new one. The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment with enthusiasm! Likewise, replace a third original monkey with a new one, then a fourth, then the fifth. Every time the newest monkey takes to the stairs, he is attacked. Most of the monkeys that are beating him have no idea why they were not permitted to climb the stairs or why they are participating in the beating of the newest monkey. After replacing all the original monkeys, none of the remaining monkeys have ever been sprayed with cold water. Nevertheless, no monkey ever again approaches the stairs to try for the banana. Why not? Because as far as they know that's the way it's always been done around here.[/hide] Seriously, though, most likely wearing clothes started to protect the body from the cold/sun. In Greece they would run their olympics naked and also sculpted men naked. Art is... art and they dont do that anymore in the Olympics. That wouldn't work in todays society. The only reason it wouldn't work is because we view the naked body as shameful and something to hide. In Ancient Greece they celebrated and viewed the naked male body as beautiful and a work of art.

I am very disappointed that it took 4 pages to have one mentioned. I love any dog that I come into contact with, but Boston Terriers are my absolute favorite. :

Heh, I got an iPod, too. And it's red. Also got some clothes and an AE gift card. The rest of my family loved their presents, too, so it was a pretty good Christmas imo.

This. Of course, if I ever to find myself in one of these train situations, I would probably be laughing so hard that I'm in a hypothetical situation and the 3 would die. Oh well.

Is it just me or does anyone else hate hypothetical situations? They make everything seem so black and white and tend to ignore most logic.

Oh I absolutely love misleading news... :roll: He punched her in the head; I doubt getting hit with a sandwich would really count as assault.

I absolutely hate mushrooms. If I don't pick all of them out and I even think one got in my mouth, I lose my appetite. God I feel sick just thinking about them. :-X

These are exactly what I need to go with my XXL dragon plate shirt.

Most jewelry stores have some items in the $100s. Many will also do free minor repairs on your jewelry or watches (I got my watch's band shortened at a Jared's once). Man, why didn't anyone think of that before? he may have accidentally damaged his mum/grandmas/whoever's jewellery and wants to get it repaired.... How do you accidentally damage someone else's jewelry?.. :-s

To be honest, it's a little ridiculous to be in jewelry store like that when you're 14. If you seriously want to get your girlfriend or whoever something nice, get cubic zirconium, it makes a lot more sense at your age.

You're thinking of "DON'T TAZE ME BRO!" No, now that I'm thinking about it, this has definitely been posted here before. Look at the date on the video, it's July 28. Edit: I just trawled through like 15 pages of threads and I couldn't find it, but I'm almost positive it's here.

I swear to god this is really old and has been posted here... Or i'm having a really bad case of deja vu.

Interesting, that'd mean your surname is Meoff? Jack-meoff would be to obvious. :( Or maybe his last name is Asian sounding like 'Noaw.'

So, Miley Cyrus works as hard as more than 490 (average) teachers? I think not. Next time you see someone rich and feel all gooey inside about them, I suggest that you stop for a minute and consider whether what they've actually done is worth your admiration. Money isn't the same as achievement. That's apples and oranges; neither could do the others job. Miley couldn't teach US history nor could my old US history teacher perform for 50,000 screaming fans. Whether you want to admit it or not, Miley Cyrus has achieved stuff. She has her own tv show (with a movie coming out in '09), a couple albums released, accessories, clothes, and toys. You don't have to like her, but it's hard not to think that what she's building isn't incredible. Did you look at the rest of the Forbes list, though? Oprah was #1 at $275 mil when she does nothing special; she doesn't sing, dance, or act. She has a talk show. I know a lot of people who could do her job, but I bet she couldn't do theirs. I agree with you here, but you seem to be belittling people's accomplishments. Yes, it is true that America isn't exactly the land of social mobility that we make it out to be, but we aren't given titles for life. A child born into a wealthy family has to work to keep their status. They can't piss away their money and still expect to live in a $10 million mansion, they do have to work for it.

I hope you've thrown that toaster out... I'm sure you could go to the city council or something and have them force your neighbors to get an exterminator. This is kinda strange, though, cause just yesterday I read this.

As much as I agree with the first half of your post, I think the second half is completely wrong. It seems like the 'thing' to do these days is bash Miley Cyrus for ruining music or society. People make her out to be like she's destroying the world when artists before her have done the exact same (and much worse) things. Just because you don't like her music doesn't mean that she doesn't deserve to be rich. I'm sure she's worked her [wagon] off just as much as any of them, if not more because of her show. Also, if she gives nothing to society then neither do the thousands of other artists/bands in existence. And I'm not even gonna touch the "bad role model" angle with a 10 foot pole.

My favorite's the bonding with the baby. The way the mom is makes me lol. :

Similar to Han Solo and James Dean. Alright. 8-)

Oh god. Doctorates will either make someone incredibly modest and great to have a conversation with or an arrogant [wagon]. It's difficult to find anyone in between.

...i don't believe you. :? Neither do I. Somehow I doubt a person would live after 10,000+ volts surged through their body and that you had access to that kind of power in a high school physics class. :?

Heh, I did too. Sorry evil, but I was kind of disappointed when it was about Yahoo! :P

The real party doesn't start til after midnight. :P Ah, but the drinking starts before. ;)

Son of a [bleep], you beat me. :( And what commercial on Nick? The only one I remember it from is the Virgin mobile commercials like 5 years ago.

Sometimes my voice will start singing or talking in verses like a poem, but what's really annoying is when it spells out every word or speaks the punctuation in sentences rather than let it be punctuation. -.-

Oh right, my physics teacher told us today, Jupiter and Venus (I think?) are both in the sky around this time, and both quite bright. And since the moon is in the crescent stage, apparently those three together look like a smiley face. ;) Yep, Jupiter and Venus, just looked it up. Tonight is the night it's supposed to look really cool with the moon :) . Of course... I always seem to miss things like this. Damn you Buffalo and your cloudy skies. -.-
