Stand back! I'm going to try ~*science*~

(Firstly, and at the risk of breaking with verisimilitude, note that this post could potentially be triggery in one or two places.)

Based on the recent SurveyFail, I have decided to do some research of my own ( Read more... )

fandom, your mom goes to college, science, ranting, does this count as meta?, surveyfail, humour, fail

I totally think they should plan more books based on examining the rest of the rules of the internet via inappropriate disciplines:

Rule 63: What all those drawings of Bowser with tits says about the interaction between reptile-brain reaction processes and higher logical functioning.

Also, question 23 - stop using my life for comedic purposes, dammit xx

Question 23 is my life too, except that I was never allowed to buy those magazines! Not even the ones that were ~*educational*~ FFS.

Rule 63: What all those drawings of Bowser with tits says about the interaction between reptile-brain reaction processes and higher logical functioning.

I like this. Let's approach some random, but rich, publishing house with it y/y?

Next time we go to my mum's we can go in the loft - I've got two binders worth of a series about Animals plus a whole bunch over. And that one you had to pay extra for the binders.

As for the book, lets do that - we can fill up the pagecount with pictures ripped off DeviantArt - because you don't have to pay or ask permission to use pictures from the internet if you're publishing them in a real book. People should be glad to have the recognition.

Yeah, and if anyone complains we can just say "They were posted anonymously! We didn't know!"

Can non-scientists of green ethnicity answer this? Unfortunately, I haven't seen the survey all the fuss is about, but I would bet money I don't have that it isn't a patch on this one.

26. Do you ever find yourself, in your darkest and loneliest moments, thinking about being ravaged from behind by Prince Harry in his Nazi costume?

Words fail me. :D

Brilliant all round.

There you are! ♥ I missed you, where have you been?

Well, I suppose so, but that implies that people who aren't white men might in some way, you know, count for anything. *facepalm* (Seriously. If you value your blood pressure, avoid this shitstorm.)

I've now seen a bit more about the original survey with the author answering questions about why it's so bad, and I shall certainly stay away from it. I'm a bit squicked by pictures of brains and stuff as well. That's where the green bit comes in...

I missed you, where have you been?

Firstly, ♥ x a lot. I've been writing a vast quantity of RS Games fic, and trying to fit in some work in between, as I'm going to be away for a week and want to get everything done first. I also remembered I never installed Chip's Challenge (old game) on my computer after it crashed, so I had to complete that again, and now I'm redoing Tileworld, the spin-off, though I never finished it.

Video games and fanfic: clearly you have your priorities right. :D Without being specific on account of this is unlocked, how's your RS Games submission coming along?

I have tears in my eyes from laughing. Brilliant!

You sound so much like a real scientist, despite being a girl. If you work really hard, you might be an assistant in a fancy lab some day!

Favourite questions: 8, 17, 20 for the hard-on collider (hee!), 21, 24, 26, 31, 33. I will use these numbers to play the lottery and will share my winnings with you if I win.

*simpers* Oh, do you really think so? Perhaps I can find a husband who's a scientist, and help him clean up the lab. Or hold beakers for him, if it's not too dangerous.

SRSLY WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK.

and will share my winnings with you if I win

Nah, use it to start a publishing house, then commission an incredibly inaccurate book from me. Then profit! >:D

BWAHAHAHAHA WIN.

- I ask real scientists for advice
- I read books and comics about science
- I wear a white coat and lab goggles
- I appear on science-themed quiz shows and surreptitiously take notes
- I've got an actual degree/equivalent training [note that this answer was added in to the survey after the survey had been live for several days]

The goggles do nothing D:

Oh, and:

2. What is your sex?

- Man
- Lady Not a Man

Fixed.

Hahahahaha, yes, good point. Could also have been "Man/Other". XD

Goggles make you a real scientist, trufax. See also labcoats and having really big, mad, grey hair and glasses.
