in a mirror, you can kiss yourself, but only on the lips

Something tells me Neil may have actually performed that experiment himself. For science.

Oh, suddenly self love is a problem?!?

Sir, this is a Wendy's.

It's actually even more unlikely that they would be able to learn how to talk. This guy's clearly not a very good scientist if he missed that.

I'd be questioning the unique selective pressures that caused the hundred acre wood to produce sentient stuffing filled animals.

I mean, if it's the Red Forest, anything is possible

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

Darwin's got his finches, Dawkins has his teddy, each instrumental to the modern understanding of natural selection.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Or he knows something we don't...

[–] [email protected] 58 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Unlike with Neil DeGrasse Tyson, with Dawkins, I would be quite surprised if he brought that up without being quite specifically asked about it…

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's probably from an hour long portrait interview, in which they cover a lot of ground including favourite English literary pieces, and the interviewer tries to tie it to the guest. They would probably ask David Beckham which Harry Potter character he'd have on his football team.

Viktor Krum perhaps?

[–] threelonmusketeers 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'd have thought Dean Thomas. Isn't he a West Ham fan? He'd at least know the rules, which is probably more than can be said of the average wizard.

[–] brbposting 2 points 3 months ago

Great call!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Dawkins would have shitposted on Twitter with the best of them if he'd been born later

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Well, he does, actually.

But, now hear me out, what if there was also a rabbit?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Why stop there? Owl! Tiger! Kangaroo!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Tigger. There's a double-guh.

It's morphin' time!

[–] [email protected] 31 points 3 months ago

Yeah, not with that attitude, Richard.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 months ago (2 children)

This looks like something from Viz magazine. They'll regularly have big one page jokes about something and then have these little made up side bits in.

Whole thing was probably about illegal immigrants taking small boats to the hundred acre wood and then there's this little bit in the bottom.

Here's an example. The thoughts of the 1966 world cup winning squad on the disappearance of Lord Lucan

I mean, he's a Tigger, not a Tiger, so that's off.

Bruh you can't just drop the t-word like that

I came here looking to see if anyone would point out that they are toy animals, not real ones.

[–] threelonmusketeers 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

they are toy animals, not real ones

A couple of them were real animals, and this is reflected in the stories.

The two characters are

Owl and Rabbit.

In one of the stories, one of them says to the other "You and I have brains, the others have fluff".

I mean, the dude studied zoology at Balliol College, Oxford, so he is an expert on the matter...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

And yet his statement is missing the oxford comma

Someone take Dawkins to a zoo.

"Richard Dawkins confirms intelligent design mostly likely explanation"

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

I'm sure there's regions where people have pigs and donkeys and there are bears and tigers in the woods.

However, it would not end up well for the pig or the donkey if they hung out

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (5 children)

If someone released a donkey in East India this would be very plausible. Kangaroos on the other hand…

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Yeah there's no way that Kanga hasn't beaten the shit out of them all already for getting too close to Roo, especially Tigger and Pooh.

I like this guy less and less every day.
