Good one. sorta boring, though.
What does it matter if I get a very slight percentage of my teasers from Mind Trap. Many people from the site do. I never claim them as my own. When I submit a teaser my purpose was to challenge and entertain. And i'm sure my teasers do that.
"Any comments that are deemed to be excessivly negative or abusive will be promptly removed." I'd hate to see what "excessively negative" is. Fine, attack my teasers if you want, but don't attacl me. You have a serious problem if you can't differentiate between a persons teaser and who a person is. You don't even know me, what right do you have to judge me. 'Don't judge less thee be judged', you have no idea who I am yet you have criticised and judged me. I guess I have the right to judge you now, and in my opinion is that you are the "loser" if you are going to critise without thought and act in a pretentious manner.
Learn how to spell.
I know how to spell. I made two typos not spelling errors, there is a big difference. Anyway, whats it to you if I make a couple of typos?
yes that was stealing a teaser but if you read the braingle message board the point is not taking the teaser outright but at least have courtesy to swap names or change a few details or something.
Hey glennyboy, gud teaser...dont giv a crap bout wat clark sez i've seen his spelling; its atrocious and he mostly givs only bad comments...and who cares if u nick a small ammount of teasers; its not exactly their problem..they're jus angry coz u got to it first! keep up the good job -Nutty
I liked the teaser. It makes a lot of sense and is fun which is more than can be said about others in this category.
Not trying to be a pain, merely curious: Don't female birds still require a male bird to fertilise the egg? (I realise that if we take the teaser at face value it's saying that another bird merely needs to be present, but I'm curious from a biological point of view)
I agree with sweetime don't you need a male bird to get a fertilized egg?
No offense or anything but the judging thing is a bit over the top(and NO I'm not trying to be judgemental!) because when your saying there judging you aren't you kind of judging them?-just curious please don't get offended!
glennyboy, you must learn how to calm down
Yes, a male pigeon must fertilize the egg, but only for it to hatch. Usually the egg is laid first, and if there are males, they can fertilize them. (I think)
