Timer has a question, folks:
"Next problem : who invented language, men or women?"
Since he has lots of time on his hands, and his mind, I think this could be the perfect plasce to waste it. (His time or his mind, you choose.)

Jaysun, if you really want to chat with Charming, you'll have to petition to get him unsuspended.


'Face, did you forget the rules?
Think right thoughts.
Use the stairs.
Always go up, and always go right.

There's no telling where you'll come out, but if you see daylight, go for it.


Now, to address timer's question. Language was invented by both men and women.

The men invented the sibilants, the gutturals, and the dentals.

Women developed the labials, the fricatives, and the linguals.

Now THAT is scary. Think of the possibilities....
