Yeah, cats are sacred there. I heard somewhere about Egypt forfeiting a war because Egypt's enemies were firing cats out of cannons, and they forfeited to stop them from harming the cats.

Maybe.. I dont think they have it, but contrary to popular belief, gum does NOT take 7 years to digest.

For christ's sake, what the hell is wrong with you? Can he at least put the link as a source, seeing as how there are more pages?

I agree with Asakura. If there's no illegal content in that site, there's no reason he can't post a link to it.

The only thing I need to know at this time are the exams answers. This is a really long list, it makes me remember the one I made about 150 reasons of why pokemon is trash(they are only comparations of pokemon with the real life, like, let's say, do they ever go to a school? The only ones I have seen does not teach to write and read, they teach what weakness have pokemons, etc.)

In other words, nice thread.



Note: Don't make me write the list of 150 reasons in any thread. I spent 3 days making it in spanish and I don't want to traduce it)
