It's true... there was quite the hoard over at RDF, let's say...

Richard never used to visit the OT section of his own website. When he eventually did he found such delightful thread titles as "what does semen taste like - seriously", and...


Well I'll let someone else tell the rest of the story.

Well, it seems to me that the question "what does semen taste like?" is disgusting and puerile, but the addition of "seriously" at the end suggests to me that the OP was trying to get a serious answer to a serious physiological question.

I can't see how such a carefully worded and thoughtful OP would lead to a dirty thread, and why would Dawkins be concerned.

BTW, I can't find that thread - have you got a link?

That, and many other threads (not all of them even 'dirty' threads) ended-up getting sucked into electronic oblivion.

What does an alcoholic OCD sufferer do on a Friday night?

Drinking and hoarding.

OMG.... I am so sorry.... I'll get my coat. :ddpan:

Just one?

(Ok, it'll stop. I do find it very interesting and it IS culturally significant. But HOARD is such a great word...)
