Joke - Female dilemma

A chick in a coop was facing a dilemma.

Ten minutes ago, Farmer Bill had thrown in the coop a young rooster he had bought at the city market. The rooster walked cockily around the hens, inspecting his new home. After a few paces the rooster stopped in front of the youngest one, a beautiful white fowl.

As soon as she saw the city rooster in front of her, the chick’s inner thoughts were the following:

"If I stay, he will say I'm a whore. If I run, he will say I'm stupid. So I'd better run and trip."

Creationism vs. Evolution

This debate goes on and on for many, many years. You may remember from school the famous questions Albert Camus’s been asking himself: Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?

During the 1800s and up until the mid-1900s, Creationism was widely accepted and was considered a foundational truth. Then Darwin came with his Theory of Evolution and set the foundations of a new debate. I wonder how long this one will last, considering that the “World is Flat” vs “the World is Round” one had followers even in the 20th century (yes 20th century - In 1956, Samuel Shenton set up the Flat Earth Society with the primary aim to reach children and convince them the Earth was Flat before they were convinced about a spherical earth – crazy, if you’d ask me- and he really got famous for a time, but the Moon landing was not very good on his career).


Watch this Family guy video, it’s hilarious.
