Everyone who’s dealt with kids knows you have to bisect the giraffe equally from nose to tail so everyone gets 2 legs, or somebody will cry that it’s unfair.
Everyone who deals with scientists knows they assume a perfectly spherical, frictionless, giraffe.
In a vacuum
lol a giraffe would never fit in my vacuum.
You have to remember to take the Elephant out first.
That was a snake.
Git gud
If it's frictionless, then a proper scientist already knows it's in a perfect vacuum.
Not necessarily. Two objects can still have friction in a vacuum together.
There was only half a giraffe. It didn't say half a giraffe and some molecules.
I cant remember, what is the friction coefficient for a giraffe?
I let one cut and the other gets to pick first.
This is the way. And from experience, it will result in sub-nanometer size differences.
Kids are total commies.
Make sure to get the same number of spots too.
The way Samson would do it.
I think you mean Solomon.
Oh aye, Samson was strength, Solomon had the wisdom required to dissect a baby. Samson would just rip it apart with his bare hands.
Edit maybe that should be bisect. We need less words, there would be much less misunderstanding.
I think Samson made my luggage.
Strength and dexterous fine motor function.
He didn’t personally build it.
Fewer
This proves my point. If fewer didn't exist I wouldn't have got it wrong.
This is great! I feel I'm reading a drunk Brit who has some familiarity with the Bible, just a little.
Oi! They're both cunts!
