I'm pretty sure science should be in quotes as well, considering it is not real science.

[–]Panhead369 5 points6 points ago

I'm pretty sure that they're trying to do that, what with the whole 'Abstinence Only' sex ed and all.

The stork hypothesis*

[–]Never_Concedes 1 point2 points ago

This gentleman is correct; As it has not been tested in any way it is a hypothesis, not a theory.

Is it bad all I thought about was how cute the stork hat was?

[–]schad500 0 points1 point ago

Why do they always draw the storks with little hats on?

[–]shutupandorganize 0 points1 point ago

The CG is too damn far in front of the center of lift!

[–]macr0s 0 points1 point ago

That stork is a straight up boss.

[–]larg3-p3nis 0 points1 point ago

They already teach the stork theory, that's why a raped woman can't get pregnant.

[–]Migratory_Coconut 0 points1 point ago

Exactly. Just check the box on the stork delivery form, and there you go.

[–]immortal_mechanism 0 points1 point ago

Sounds good to me.
