    Aaw, come on, don't tell me you didn't know that talking about humans as "significant beings" is PD material.
    You can't trust a meta-ethical moral relativist since such a person can abuse reason to justify any act.

    Talking about green paw-paw juice is PD material when you're around. But you're right, I should have known better...

    Paw-paw has good anticancer properties and may help with that spastic colon...

    Thank me later

    Edit as for significance I'll leave you with this Poem:

    Right now, it is raining methane on Titan. The planet Uranus, apparently trying to live up to it’s name, is orbiting the sun sideways, while Venus spins backwards. There are stars exploding, black holes gorging, galaxies colliding.

    And here we sit, on a planet pock-marked by collisions, rocked by earthquakes, shaken by storms. A planet doomed to be fried in radiation as it’s magnetic fields collapse, until finally the sun grows into a red giant and leaves nothing of the Earth but dust.

    Here we sit, glasses on our noses, inhalers in our pockets, braces on our teeth, waiting to die as our heart muscle expires, our cells decide to grow forever, or a blood vessel just pops, and sometimes in unnatural ways, too.

    Here we sit, and some of us say, behold, look at the order of it all?
