Busan's drive for English as 'common language' rolls on despite protests

This is all very solvable when one realizes that Adam had one blue eye and one hazelnut eye, and Eve had one chestnut eye and one blue eye.

Hence the Biblical expression, "An eye for an eye."

*drums and cymbal*

Science however posits blue eyes are a result of a deficiency, a genetic adaptation, as the body took the melanin when sunlight exposure was insufficient; a map of historic blue eye trait geography reflects its north-eastern European history. The archeological oldest blue-eyed person's DNA that has been recovered - because luckily preserved - has been located further southeast from the masses of recovered samples from later centuries.

"Thus you can say..." your distant grandparents didn't have blue eyes? Nope. This is incorrect.

No no no.
It *is* correct, because beyond during the time of my great great great..[skip a few "great"s] ... ...great grandparents, *nobody* had blue eyes. None. Zero. Zip. Nada. According to new research on mitochondrial DNA, blue eyes appeared for the first time only 6 to 10 thousand years ago.
That was the point of all those "greats": add them up, and allot 30 years to each generation, and you get 6,030 years, which, according to the article) is a generation before the first blue eyed people (may have) appeared. 
Thus I can say with fair certainty that they did not have blue eyes.

Also, you're assuming that I, or anybody in my extended family, have blue eyes... or are even Caucasian.  How dare you assume my ethnicity!




Anyway, trust me, I'm up-to-date with mendelian inheritance: I mean, how else can I create exciting new viruses in my evil-scientist lab/lair during my spare time?

I thought this was high school science.
Gasp? How is this possible?
Maybe dominant vs. recessive genes isn't in every high school education; or it could be easy to forget (I didn't because the disparity between my eyes and my dad's was explained there and then).

I love how this goober is consistently so smug and condescending when he is wrong.

Well...its not ALL the time. To be fair, V.I is capable of and has, posted valuable information.  But, he IS smug, for no good reason (a product of his environment). As a moderator, he needs to SHUT UP and let the enlisted folks have it, and intervene only when necessary (like Kyndo) or sometimes offer an anecdote or ...line of wisdom, when called upon.

One of my favourite examples of this was when he jumped in and condescendingly corrected a poster (and inexplicably admonished the rest of the posters) because Van didn't understand the use of "breads" in his post.  The poster had used it absolutely correctly and Van didn't know that it was possible to use it that way.  And he would not acknowledge he was wrong.  The poster was referring to different kinds of breads, but Van just kept claiming he was right because bread wasn't countable.  It didn't matter that the poster didn't use it in that context. 

He won an award in high school, didn't you know?

PLEASE do not bring this argument back

Hahaha.  Were you the one that used "breads" in the first place?  I can't remember.  I just recall Van continually trying to avoid admitting his error, let alone apologize for being condescending on top of his mistake.  He probably just deleted the threads that called him out as well as his screw up. 

^His standard M.O. He's started posting more on weekends and late at night so he can entertain his imaginary rapt audience and avoid us mosquitoes in the peanut gallery dragging him back to reality.

nah that wasnt me but i remember how inanely long that argument went on, it was a solid few pages at least

Any chads in here eat sweetbreads? No, not the Paris Baguette regular. I'm talking about the patrician cousin of head cheese.
