I don't think that there's necessarily a reason that we're here. We're just here.

also: thread stolen.

I theorize that, judging from all the farming/fishing metaphors found in the New Testament concerning our supposed relationship with deity, we are intended to be harvested and end up as food.

This is, I'm sure, a thoroughly silly notion, but go with it.

And so we shall be. Food for worms, every one of us. :)

I thought it was all about silly animals like cats and monkeys and the universal need to video them

I'm not yummy. Sorry.

Unless you're cremated, or die in space, or are cremated then fired into space, or fall into the sun, or die on a planet void of life...

Life has no meaning. Life just is.

What! You don't want to feed the little wormies?! DIE, HERETIC!

Anyway, how do you know there are no microbes in space longing for a big sandwich of you? With a spicy sprinkle of some other guy's ashes on top?

The point is, organic compounds feed/fuel/create more ogranic compounds (and stuff like that), and if there is a purpose to our existence, it is that. Otherwise, it seems to me that most people are here just to annoy me. ;)

Why not?

Edit: Time Warpage all over the place.

yah, that

Why are we here?

To chew bubblegum and kick ass .

:sniper:

to go forth and multiply!!! :p














so what's 14 x 22?

And so we shall be. Food for worms, every one of us. :)

I'm going to give my body to science and get cremated once they're done.

We're all here to serve me. Except, of course, for me, who is here to be served by the rest of you. Sorry if you don't like that set-up. I don't make the rules, I just follow them.

I AM science... thank you. *flashes an axe*

The more correct question is to ask why you feel so insecure that you require your existence to bare meaning beyond the simplistic.

Ultimately, though, life is either meaningless or subjective. Make of it what you will.

I AM science... thank you. *flashes an axe*

actually, next semester I'm going to dissect a body donated to science, so I'm also a little bit science then.

Have fun. ;) *brings back memories of his dissection experience*

And I bet God doesn't like to eat formaldehyde-soaked corpses, would He?

he's very picky about what he eats I've been told.

how was you dissection experience btw.

now what?

eat pudding?

Oh. Then I'm sure He won't like my taste.

My dissection experience was, well, fun, and difficult. There's so many things to learn and things to see (when you get to the colon, you'll know why). I helped extract the brain (or what remained of it), used a hammer and chisel to get out the ossicles, saw a head being sawed half, broken some ribs with a huge cutter, saw what smoking really does to your lungs, split a penis into two, gouged out some eyes, and shaved some pubic hair. The exams were difficult, and the stench icky...

And come to think of it, won't He be just making us multiply to dissect us?

And cremation is no escape. I hear He wants to sprinkle some human dust on His food to taste.
[/blasphemy]

My religion teaches that we were put here to invent Yorkshire pudding.

Posing the question: now what? We'd better get the chefs and the theologians working on it.

eat pudding?

Well, obviously. But there must be other hallowed recipes out there, waiting to be discovered. Oooh yeah.

I'm already looking forward to it, next week we have prosections I think. I already saw the pieces that are going to be used for that and it will be interesting (at least a lot more interesting than learning anatomy from textbooks :rolleyes:)

what do I have to do to join your religion? Are there also downsides?

we're here to dance and drink and screw, because there's nothing else to do.

I, for one, know why I am here.

Because they haven't yet invented a teleporter to get me off this little rock and send me somewhere better! :(

I just came here for the tacos. When I've had my fill, I'm gone. *nod*

Yes... but you need the textbook too. Sometimes the human body can be so confusing and terms hard to memorize, like when it comes to the muscles (bulbocavernosus? palmaris longus? flexor digitorum longus? biceps brachii, medial head? levator labii superioris alaeque nasi?). nonetheless, it's definitely interesting, aside from the smell...

And it's sad to see so much meat going to waste... :p

I agree, of course you need the theorie, but the practical stuff is just more interesting. And actually I've found that most of the names are quite logical, flexor digitorum longus flexes the fingers etc (it does doesn't it, I still have to study quite a lot ;))

it isn't the finest meat anyway. It are mostly old people who give their bodies to science (most young people don't have a will made so they can't put it in there (at least that's how they have to do that here)

The major downside is putting up with me and the co-founder.

At the moment, there is no real system in place for bringing in new members. We have the two of us, plus a few random people who we've picked up along the way. But they're people we've known for years, so joining via the interwebs could be tricky. I guess this is something I'll have to consider...

Naming them is logical. Identifying them is a different matter. ;)

Meat is still meat! ;) Actually, it was in anatomy class that I learned that "tenderloin" is actually the psoas muscle. I never looked at the psoas muscle the same ever again, even if the genitofemoral nerve sticks out of it.

It would be cool if i could join, maybe set up a Belgian branch of your religion? think of the tax-cuts.

well, I'm a vegetarian, so I don't think I will have a lot of problems with that.

Hmm... I might have to check you in with my baggage. I don't think you'll fit in the overhead bin.

308, eeeasy. :p

take it on my honor that I did that myself. :p

I'm the opposite. I'm a meat-arian. Psoas muscle is yummy. But I never ate corned beef ever after...

The zen master says to his student:

"Life is empty and without meaning."

The student says:

"Tell me it is not so!"

The master replies:

"Because it is empty and without meaning, it is up to you to give it meaning and purpose. It's your choice."

308, eeeasy. :p

Bunch of serene bastards, the lot of them. And what is up with that 'one hand clapping' shit?

:mad:

If I recall my Catechism classes of about 60 years ago, the correct answer was, “To know Him, love Him, and serve Him. Now, give me those cookies.

I'm here because I foolishly decided to go through this plane of existence one last time before moving on and defeating the next level.

Yes, and we are to serve him roast loin of ... .

Chocolate chip ok?

I'm not yummy. Sorry.

My girlfriend says I am :cool:

My girlfriend says I am :cool:
I have no girlfriend to tell me that. :( So until someone says so, I'd say that I'm not tasty, by default.

We are the result of a night of heavy drinking.

We are considered by the different races of extraterrestrials as the most expensive genetically engineered delicacy in the universe. We are basically the backbone of their inter-galactic currency exchange.

I, personally am very salty. I learned recently that not everyone is so.

Being consumed by an alien race after they solve all of Earth's and humanity's issues(except being eaten) is probably one of the nicer ways to die.

You make a convincing case. I shall speak to the co-founder, with a view to finding a role for you. A Belgian chapter would be good, since you Belgians seem to make the best lager and the best chocolate.

FYI, here are our ten commandments, cut and pasted from our Facebook page. Some of them may not make sense to you, but I am too drunk to explain.

1. Teralta burgers.
2. Sake.
3. Sleeping in a tent and shitting in a bucket (a.k.a. The Big Chill)
4. Low tech > High tech
5. Eating 'La Total' for dinner and Pie Minister for desert, all washed down with After Eight or Rhubard and Custard milkshakes.
6. The Rhinos!
7. The human race was put here to invent Yorkshire pudding.
8. Making people say "Some people can be right dickheads, don't you know?"
9. Singing "7 Drunken Nights" to a drunken wedding crowd in Canada.
10. Eating smoked sausages, asking where the sausage lady has gone.

It is because with the other hand, you are holding your beer. :rolleyes:

Well, as for my activities on NS, i can say i'm here to harvest ... uh, something, from fellow NSrs.
Other than that, i sew here a lot.

To eat, fuck, kill, and die.

:D

Seriously, why would anyone care why we're here?

We have 70 odd years and an entire world to savour and experience and over half of us spend the time worrying about why we're here rather than just enjoying what here has to offer.

You have a whole world out there, from people, sights and sounds to different cultures, countries and citizens - we're stuck in the puritanical concept of time equals money, tied down to the clock and we waste a lifetime of opportunity saving for a future that has no guarantees.

How do you make god laugh? Show him your plans.

Who cares why, I can't see the purpose in worrying about it over living it.

To eat, fuck, kill, and die.

:D

...and that.
