Nietzsche said that which does not kill us makes us stronger..

It certainly works with bacteria, don't take all your antibiotics and the bacteria that live become more resistant to that antibiotic.

Obama has a deep knowledge that the American public is too soft and needs forging in the furnace of hardship and quenching like a fine sword to be supple yet strong and sharp, he is only doing this for our own good, he is playing chess and we can barely comprehend tic-tac-toe coin flipping.

Have faith everyone, Obama knows what is good for us and is going to give it to us and we will all be stronger and wiser for the experience.

11. Did you know rabbits eat their OWN berries? I'm serious - two-part digestion process.

Just as a cow chews cud, rabbits process food on the first pass and then eat it again to get the nutrients. It sounds pretty disgusting, but that's what they do. I'm pretty sure that's just the case with the high-fiber foods like kale or timothy hay and not the food "pellets" (which look pretty damn close to a cylindrical bunny berry anyway). Both of our dogs think the berries are candy or something. We have a pet rabbit and the neighborhood has more rabbits than I've ever seen anywhere else, although I've heard of a place with more.

When my late father-in-law was in Australia (WW-II) they took a train from God knows where to God knows where else and it was a LOOOOONNNGGG trip. Part of what made it so long was the train kept getting stuck. There rabbits EVERYWHERE and they were apparently dumbfucks that didn't know well enough to get out of the way of trains. The rails were so slick with rabbit innards that the wheels would spin and the train was barely moving at times. Cute little bunny guts all over the rail tracks. :evilgrin:

6. You'r opening sentence is wrong.

This is not what happens in natural selection at all. I suggest you do a little reading on the subject.

7. Snarkometer..

Yours could stand recalibrating.

9. Warning for the curious: Nietsche died at the ripe old age of 55

roaring mad, probably from syphilis.

That is what pessimism will do to you.

10. Nietzsche was wrong

Chemo doesn't kill you, but makes you weak as shit.
