MOVED!

Yeah. I decided it was time I got myself a domain. You can now find me at: ReactorParty

Phew.

I was a tad worried there. My internet WOULD NOT CONNECT. It should probaby teach me a lesson – blog earlier in the day when your internet is connected, but… no. I don’t have time ‘earlier in the day’. That concept does not exist for me – between nine o’clock and half three (the hours that I would think of as EARLIER IN THE DAY) I am at school. Where the computers block every website under the sun. Fact. So it’s kind of out of the question.

Anyway.. back to the point; my connection-less internet. I was extremely worried – to the point that I had to have a shower to calm myself down. (On reflection, I may have done this to wash my hair. Maybe not. I’m not sure).

When, after said shower, the internet was still not connecting, I resorted to my… last resort. MY DAD, the oh so scary one. The bossman. His answer? “Turn it off and on again.”

Apparently, I am not mentally equipped enough to do this. So he did. While I made him coffee, like a good little slave girl/daughter. And it worked!

We found this out when my MSN automatically logged in and he attempted to have a conversation with my (actually offline) bestfrann (this roughly translates as, in Emma talk, best (male) friend), before shouting “WHAT IS THIS THING DOING?” and proceeding to point and wave at the computer screen. I had to explain the concept of inter-computer communication. It was not fun.

So… I’m thanking my lucky stars that he eventually left me alone to “revise” (read as: blog). And from now on, I know how to reconnect my internet! WINWIN.

People Are Idiots These Days

♫ Reactor Party by Shitdisco.

Today’s post is about the immense stupidity of the human race. Well, not the entire species, but those select few who seem to have been born without a brain, and thus no common sense.

Now, I just have to check: we all know how a baby is made, right? Good. Because some idiot sure didn’t….

On Yahoo Answers, it’s quite common to come across some stupid questions. But I never thought I’d see the day when someone asked:

Can your baby get pregnant if you have sex while pregnant?
like if you are pregnant with a baby girl, and you have sex while you are pregnant, can the sperm go up in there and impregnate the baby?

This person was completely serious. And what was even more worrying was the fact that there were people answering this question with YES:

The baby can get pregnant only if it’s a female. If you suspect that your baby is pregnant, try not to have sex again. You run the risk of getting your baby’s baby pregnant and that can lead to complications like an infinite loop.

Um, excuse me? Correct me if I’m wrong but there are two main elements that are needed for a woman to have a baby:

• She must have started her periods, and thus started ovulating.
• The egg must be fertilised by the sperm; obviously this generally occurs through intercourse, and sometimes through IVF treatment and the like.

So you’re telling me that, by having sex with a pregnant woman, you are actively having sex with the foetus too? I don’t know what planet these people come from but they’re damn wrong.

A foetus is surrounded by amniotic sac, filled with fluid – nothin’ gets in there because all the ‘foreign materials’ are kept away. Unless your baby is the reincarnation of the Virgin Mary, she ain’t gonna produce no child of her own, and she certainly isn’t going to be able to carry it to full term without serious damage to herself, and probably you, too.

Surely these people did sex education at school? Even if they didn’t they should know the general rules of reproduction. A foetus, in the womb – that isn’t even classed as an actual baby yet – cannot produce it’s own child. Go back to school.

Now, I’m off to convince myself that there are people with brains in the world. Wish me luck.
