We should move to space

Like ASAP.

Earth is cool and all, what with its dirt and plants and life and whatnot, but I think it’s time for us to grow up. We’ve been here for a couple million years, it’s probably time we moved out and got our own place. I mean, isn’t it a little embarassing to still be living at home at this age? We need to stop depending on mother nature and leeching her hard-earned resources. She’s old now, let her relax in her retirement and enjoy some peace and quiet. It’s bad enough already that we still make her clean up after us all the time.

Don't worry, mom will get that

Now, I know this means we would actually have to get our shit together and stop fighting amonst ourselves, but I think we could do it. We could always start again once we are off the planet and in our giant inter-galactic spaceship. We could even have space wars then. Imagine how cool and gritty that would be! Think lasers! Pew pew!

And you know, even if we don’t want to go that far right away, we could at least visit our uncle on mars for a while. I know he’s terrible at decorating, and the atmosphere is a little thin at best, but I’m sure we could manage. We’ve been saying that we’re going to visit him for a while too, so we should probably follow through.

The tea is getting cold

It’s not just that it’s a little bit sad we haven’t left the nest yet, either. There’s also the fact that it’s dangerous to stay here, what with all these rocks that are flying around in space, just waiting to smash into us. That’s how the dinosaurs died, you know. Are you saying you’re as dumb as a dinosaur? Then get your ass on the moon. Pronto.

… Well, actually the moon probably isn’t much better. But it would be nice to be in something more mobile than a 5.9742 × 1024 kilograms floating sphere (it’s not technically a sphere, but close enough).

We need to build a giant space station, like a death star, but without the big gun.

But we must use this big gun only for the power of good

Actually, the big gun was good. Let's keep the big gun

Make it happen people.

Everyone should learn sign language

Yes. Everyone.

And not the sign language that’s specific to their area, either. We all need to learn the same variation, be it American or British or whatever.

Know why? Because it would be awesome to be able to communicate with anyone on the planet silently and discreetly. Or you know, at all.

There really should be a global language for communication, we are quite the linguistic mess currently. But if we were to pick a spoken language for everyone to learn, there would be all kinds of drama: “My language is the best, why is it your language that got chosen”, etc. There isn’t, however, a firm cultural attachment to a specific version of sign language, since it’s such a much newer creation. Therefore, it’s the perfect thing for everyone to learn.

As well, think of how embarrassing it will be when the aliens get here and most of the planet can’t even communicate properly. Can you say “vapourize the primitives”?

Well, they can!

But, sign language is perfect. They’ll underestimate us. Think of how badass it would be for the entire earth to organise a rebellion in complete and total silence. Answer: very badass. So badass, in fact, that it might be movie material.

And I mean, hell, they have BABIES learning it now. Are you dumber than a BABY?

Kid even asks for water, like he is some sort of stand up comedian or public speaker and needs it to continue.

Also, this would be very nice for deaf people. Not so much for blind people, but it’s not like they’ll ever know! Hahaha… I am burning in hell when I die.

P.S. I am totally serious about this being awesome. I know it’s unrealistic, but dammit I don’t care.

Wisdom teeth, and other useless biological paraphernalia

So, my wisdom teeth are coming in. Rather irritating. Dentist says they don’t have to come out, though. Unfortunately, this also makes accusations of me having a big mouth professionally verified.

I was wondering earlier why we even have wisdom teeth if most of the time they have to come out. Then I realised that back when evolution was our main form of advancement it was probably a little more rare to still have all your teeth at 18. A few more would be a rather welcome addition.

Then I wondered about the biological “wiring” it would take to make four extra teeth pop up at the gates of twenty. What controls it? What stops it? Why four? This was of course followed by momentary awe at how complicated and retarded we are. Random order where there should be chaos. We are the picture of Jesus on the cosmic toast that is the galaxy.

This was actually made on purpose, which seems like a bad idea. You have to eat it, throw it out, or let it rot now. All of which seem like they might get you a little closer to hell.

Maybe that’s a little self-centered if there are aliens, but I guess I’ll risk sounding conceited. I’ll just delete this post if aliens come. Or maybe they can be the picture of the guy we didn’t know was a messiah.

Anyway, I’ve been really busy lately. What with an 8 and a half hour work day, drawing, writing, and playing video games, I just don’t have much time for other things anymore. Like sleep and eating decently. I think my grammar has suffered too.

Oh well, have a nice day, and thanks for reading.
