I honestly can't tell if that is supposed to be pro- or anti-Dawkins.

Does anyone have that "stop calling me Dick Dorkins" tweet? Because it's my favorite.

I should have screencapped it, but a few days back Dawkins was complaining about people using the word "basically". One of the replies was "your basically a dick". Wanted to high five that person through the Internet.

The main thing that annoys me about the giraffe riddle is that it says 3am. At least on all the ones I've seen. Who the hell calls round for breakfast at three in the morning?

The first thing I'd open is the door. The second would be my fist to extend my middle finger, because whether it is my parents or the president there is no loving way I'm cooking them breakfast at 3am.

I wanted to respond with "a can of whoop-rear end to whatever son of a bitch wakes me at 3am for breakfast", but then I'd just be encouraging them with any kind of reply. :(

Neither the "eyes" or "door" answer makes sense, though. Are you supposed to have the whole conversation with your parents with them explaining that they want breakfast before you even open the door?

What? The first thing you opened were your eyes when you woke up, nothing else matters. Why is this confusing? Why are we discussing this?

Because the story can imply that you've already been woken when the question is asked.

Normally, I'd be rolling my eyes right along with you. But frankly, when it comes to Sarah Palin it's extremely easy to believe the story if you're not already familiar with the Daily Currant.

I don't think it's intended to be touching and cute. It's clearly a joke. A homophobic and not especially funny joke, but a joke nonetheless.

Lines like "he would teach them ... how to protest Roman abortion clinics" and "Easter celebrates ... sticking it to all the liberal lefties out there who want to be taking our guns and our freedom" are pretty heavy-handed and should tip you off that it's not genuine.

It is a universal joke. The "true" meaning of the joke changes depending on the audience.

Fun fact, there are three different animals in three different parts of the world that are referred to as Daddy Longlegs. The American one is a spider. The British one is a horrible winged long legged thingummy. The third one escapes me at the moment but it's something else entirely.

The third is a harvestman, so kind of like a spider but not quite. (The stupid spindly flying thing that gets all up in your face is a cranefly.) In Britain we actually call all three daddy longlegs, it can get kind of confusing.

I don't care what the technical name for a Daddy Longlegs is, the proper name is anything along the lines of "Getawayyouhorriblelittlefuckeryou."

Oh no I believe it is absolutely homophobic and thinks it's being really clever. It just unintentionally compares their mindset to that of a child.
