My motto is, if it has "smart" in the name, burn it to the fucking ground.

The "legs" grab onto bacterial cell membranes to insert the central stalk like a syringe. It is a specialised adaptation to parisitism of a specific kind of host, which is observed in many advanced obligate parasites. This kind of specialisation results from many generations of co-evolution.

I'm against the death penalty but nitrogen is a really good way to die.

I thought liver damage from kava was a result of alcohol-based extraction techniques (in contrast to water based techniques) used to produce the powder from the root.

The Pythagorean relation ABSOLUTELY holds for a triangle whose legs are both 1 and whose hypotenuse is 2^(1/2). Pythagoras' cult simply didn't believe in irrational numbers, hence their trouble when the Pythagorean relation implied it. It is known there was even a proof at the time of the irrationality of the square root of two.

Greek has letters for A, D, M, and E, yet these fuckers didn't use any of them.

Obviously this is a glib and overstated case, made in service of a very questionable point, but it isn't totally wrong. I could look like that if I picked up more heavy things more often and starved myself sometimes.
