    If nothing else, I can at least confide in that Paulustrious and Expletive are hilarious individuals.

    I am a potted plant.

    Plus, the elephants on the ceiling don't like it when I ignore them.

    Elephants? The giant spiders chased them away. Interesting critters, these ones. They deny the existence of anything. We're discussing it now.

    When do you think the world will end? Mayans said something about the year 2012, didn't they?

    Scary thought: Self-replicating nanobots.

    Self-replicating nanobots? Weren't they going to use those in medical science to try and drive out cancer? I heard they stopped research for fear the bots would conquer the world.

    Just because you can't see them doesn't mean they don't exist.

    As for the self-replicating nanobots, there's a few books about how that happens.

    I generally meant for reasons other than survival (eg: to murder not just for hunger) Do you have any examples of these animals? I'd be interested to know.

    Bottle-nose dolphins will kill incestuous members of their families, or those who rape sexually premature young members of the family.

    Further, whales, many rodent species, cats, dogs, insects, fish all practice infanticide, mostly for survival reasons but occasionally as a poor response to high-stress situations (i.e. voles and minks) will eat their own young.

    Almost always when any animal kills, it's basically survival or psychology. Whether animals kill to gain power over a resource, or to display superiority, or kill a female's young so that she will go in heat and mate with that animal, or for territory or food, or some intricate social behavior, it always comes down to survival or psychology.

  13.  

    As an addendum, certain animals will eat their own you as a food resource, the concept of responsible parenting not being a part of their psychology. Frogs will eat their own tadpoles, many fish will eat the young of their own species, with no idea if they are the parent or not. Some monitor lizards will snack on their young.

    Certain dieases including rabies and distemper will cause animals to kill their own young.

    When I was a kid, my neighbors and I had a praying mantis in a big terrarium. It ate like 15 batches of its young, until the last batch of 'em ate it.

    You're right. I just have to realize that I'm not around other freshmen in here, and that in fact, I'm around people who are probably twice my age and twice my maturity level.

    That's years, not grades, for me.

    I think Cody is around the 14 mark, which makes him the same age as Andres.

    I believe it's either Athene, FT, or Paulustrious. We decided once in another thread.

    EDIT: I'm pretty sure it's FT.

    I think you are right. Although Athene might take exception to being included in the same age bracket as FT.

    I think you're all old wise. And mature well-rounded.

    Also, you younguns, it's never a good idea to either guess ages or try to classify people by them. It's one of those things that just can't turn out well. Sort of like guessing someone's weight. Even if you're right, you're still wrong.

    Edit: That came out a bit patronizing, but I would have liked to know back then, even if I didn't put it into practice.
