I'm not aware of people saying sex isn't inborn, although given that inter-sexed people exist it's obviously not 100% black and white. However plenty of people have said that gender is a social construct and regardless in a free society one should be allowed to express oneself any way they'd like.

Pro-choice people rarely bother to argue about when life begins because when talking about "life" in anything other than cellular chemical processes is so subjective it's pointless. They do talk about control over one's own body though which is a very important topic

Who said DDT kills eagles? It does
make eggs incapable of supporting a developing baby bird which obviously makes the continuation of the species difficult.

So yeah... IOSM

I call BS on this as a paid Cook. If you're concerned about durability though, take a look at your local restaurant supply store for Cambro. You can probably get more than you'll likely ever need for like, 60bux.

It's The Land of Waldos from one of the Waldo books. The joke is that you'd have to actively cover your face not to see a Waldo, or rather, a racist, in Alabama, I'm assuming.

It is a "Where's Waldo?" picture. You generally look for a guy in a red and white striped shirt (waldo) among some crowded situation. Generally it's an amusement park, mall, or some other busy picture. This one is full of red and white stripe shirted people and also exists somewhere in the pic.

I assume you are either very young or non-american, cause this poo poo was popular for a long time.

No but see, when a white person does something bad, it's because they're not a good individual. When a black person does something bad, it's because they're black!

It makes perfect logical sense if you're a racist shithead

Ah I see thanks. I know "where's waldo" but I didn't get the actual reference of waldo = racist and thought that dragon/crocodile had some significance as well.

This was actually popular abroad, too. In Israel, where he's called Efi (to be closer in sound to איפה = "eifo" = "where"). I assume this is the case for some of the other variations:

Was Odlaw introduced before the series made the jump to America?

Because that means Odlaw isn't named after Waldo.

Waldo is named after Odlaw.

According to the Where's Wally Wiki he was created for the 1991 Where's Wally Poster Book.

Incidentally, for some reason there's a Where's Wally Wiki, and desperately needs a proof-reader.

quote:

Where's Waldo? is the title of the first Waldo book. Released in 1987, the book was the result of more than two-years of detailed work by illustrator Martin Handford.

Where's Wally? introduces readers to Wally, a distinctively dressed man, as he sets off on "a world-wide hike". Waldo travels to everyday places – such as the beach, the ski slopes and the zoo. The book features 12 detailed 2-page illustrated spreads of the different locations. Somewhere amid the crowded scene is Waldo and readers are asked to scour the detailed illustrations to locate the lost traveler. Each scene is accompanied by a postcard to the reader from Waldo, who introduces the scene and comments on his travels.

Ideally it should be set up to switch between Wally and Waldo everytime you load the page.
