Hehe... I think that game's jumpstarted MY dark descent. @_@

Oh, and about the animals.... I never said it was wrong for a tiger to kill, or a predator of any kind fo kill, or an herbivore to kill. Most animals do, indeed operate differently than us, and I'm cool with that. But really, is there a reason why Dolphins rape each other or kill each other? Or chimps eat each other chimp's babies? I can't see it...

I would venture a guess that intelligence spawns violent tendencies, but that wouldn't be an entirely true statement. Male lions kill cubs when they take over a pride because they don't want the females wasting time raising another male's cubs, simply out of instinct to further their own genes. Ant colonies will literally wipe out weaker ones within a matter of hours to get rid of competition for food. It's simply survival.

On the other hand, I suppose the logical question to ask could be, do some animals feel some base form of emotion triggered by instinct? We've seen that elephants likely mourn their dead, and that dolphins will help an injured or sick one to the surface to breathe. Not long ago I saw a touching video in which a cat was hit by a car, and her mate stayed by her side and tried to revive her for about two hours. Many animals have been known to save the lives of their owners, such as dogs, cats, and birds, to name a few.

It would be arrogant to assume animals feel the way we do, but I suppose it would also be so to assume that we're the only species capable of emotion. In the end...maybe there's no real way to know. We probably can't give animals the same tests we would to gauge a human's reactions to certain things. We can't ask ourselves, "Well why do humans rape and murder", because the answer won't really apply.

maybe there are some questions that just don't have answers.

It probably makes sense to them. With a bit of study, research and of course, money, you could probably find your answers.

This is why scientists have jobs, we just don't know yet.

Same here, Iceking. It SUCKED. Although my problem was a windstorm.

@ Doc: Aye. Only time and research can tell.

I've never lost power during a storm. (thank god...)

GF: Lucky... I was SO BORED. My PSP was like at half power, and I was acting like somebody just got shot. (Overreaction ftw.)

So yeah. And now for something completely unrelated (similar to HF's post.), I got the Handmade Frog on MHFU. I worked my *** off getting those 2 Tailed Frogs. It's pretty cool though, because the stomach vibrates when you play a note, and it sounds like an actual frog as well.

TT has acquired autographs of both Scholar Purple and Yellow Quiet's voice actors.

This was a triumph. I'm making a note here, huge success.

I return. I have braved the city and returned with my life.

Also swag was bought.

A good vacation, though I am deathly tired, and must sleep.
