tracer Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 i have an issue for this general fossil discussion forum. i personally see no reason whatsoever why fossils should ever be promoted above the rank of bird colonel. their leadership skills and judgment are always greatly diminished by time and mineralization, and although i'm not going to question their right to serve, even if it's merely in the air force as wheel chocks or something, but i don't think they should ever be made generals. thank you.

That was probably the UN speaking about international affairs, this event on the forum was much more serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 You're lucky you missed it, I went into DT over the weekend when I couldn't check the Forum. To Tracer, I see your point, but your hat covers it well. If you believe everything you read, perhaps it's time for you to stop reading... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this should be a "private" issue, and if you bring it up again, it should result in "corporal" punishment, because it is a "major" problem.
