WHA!?

Someone made a gag poster, since there is no such thing as a 'Tree Octopus', cause an Octopus lives in the sea.


There is, and here's the URL.

Release the kraken

Below the thunders of the upper deep;
Far far beneath in the abysmal sea,
His ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep
The Kraken sleepeth: faintest sunlights flee
About his shadowy sides; above him swell
Huge sponges of millennial growth and height;
And far away into the sickly light,
From many a wondrous grot and secret cell
Unnumber'd and enormous polypi
Winnow with giant arms the slumbering green.
There hath he lain for ages, and will lie
Battening upon huge seaworms in his sleep,
Until the latter fire shall heat the deep;
Then once by man and angels to be seen,
In roaring he shall rise and on the surface die.

— Alfred Tennyson, "The Kraken".

I especially like the cat's expression. It says either "Yes, I really am an airline captain" or "You have three seconds to get this crap off of me before I shred your face. Two, one..."

LANGUAGE, LANGUAGE, where is that moderator log???

Because we have children as young as 13 years of age on the site, the language must be squeaky clean

If the word you're worried about is the one between this and off, all I can tell you is that I work in a high school and not only can students say that word to teachers, the teachers can also say it to the students.

The web site just came off the white list and we have no desire for it to return to it. The site needs to be truly child safe so I feel like the language police. I am aware that children know most of that language already but when you consider their adult christen parents might visit the site as well, we need to keep it as clean as possible. It's just better not to let it get dirty in the first place because digging out old threads and cleaning them up is a real task. In some cases it might just be better to delete the thread.

You mean to protect adult christen parents?
The first thing you have to do if you want to raise nice kids, is you have to talk to them like they are people instead of talking to them like they're property.

Of course you can make a list of only the acceptable
bad words.

It's very easy to do that task with a computer.

I am pretty sure the average kid knows much nastier words than I do. And a lot more of them.

Thats true.
Yesterday I heard a muslim boy aged 6 say a very bad and obscene word in english...
I would have been better if he was swearing in swedish because we didn't have obscene swearwords until the 90's when american TV started to dominate the market here...

Don't talk rubbish!

Swedish swearing

Rubbish? Don't you think I now my own language?
Some Swedish speakers find the native Swedish profanities lacking the required 'punch'. Profanity in Sweden therefore often borrows from other languages, such as English: Shit vad snygg hon är ("Damn, she's looks good"), German: Det var en scheissefilm ("That was a crappy movie"), and Finnish: Perkele!.

Perkele means Devil and is now one of the most common Finnish swearwords:)
Here it's called Jävlar or Satan and considered very rude...
We have many Finns here. They have very obscene swear words that some uses.
All our obscene swear words are imported and from the US it started from the 90's.
The Danes has the same problem!
