    Magnets also don’t breathe. Go on, Amalaha, cease thine respirations as the magnets have so commanded.

    Except the magnets are the same just in different orientations, so he’s really just proven that gay couples need to have one of them be upside down

      It was alright. My wife was pregnant, I was still teasing someone I knew about how worked up they had been about the Mayan thing, joined a different D&D table, oh and something about Ebola

        They tried with double sided tape first but they dismissed the results because it didn’t support the conclusion they wanted to make.

    Our attention has been drawn to a publication containing research purportedly written by one of the Part Time Postgraduate Diploma Students in the Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Lagos – Stanley Amalaha, titled “Science of Gay Marriage” in THISDAY Newspapers of 5th September, 2013 and on several blogs on the Internet.

    The University of Lagos writes to dissociate itself in its entirety from the actions, publications and research of this individual. We further state, for the avoidance of doubt, that his publication has nothing to do with his programme and has no relationship to his studentship of the University. Indeed our postgraduate diploma students ordinarily only take conversion courses to improve their capability for the chosen specialization and do not undertake research. The case of the writer who has a background in Education (Chemistry) is not different.

    Although the University is a market place of different views and ideas, its platform should not be used for the propagation of ill-conceived, unsubstantiated and ill-digested opinions that have no basis in rigorous empirical research. The University of Lagos, which stands for excellence in teaching and research, cannot and should not be associated with such puerile and pseudo-scientific postulations.

    The University reaffirms its mission, which is to be a top-class institution for the pursuit of excellence in knowledge through learning and research as well as in character and service to humanity.

    -Toyin Adebule, Deputy Registrar

    Guys I read the peer reviewed paper and… it checks out.

    We are cancelling homosexuality immediately. Tough call I know but you can’t deny solid science.

        Iirc, Hume’s guillotine states essentially that a statement of what should be cannot be derived from any system of statements only about what is. That is to say, morality cannot be derived only from reality. Basically, you need to have a set of axioms (which in this context are called “ethical systems”) in order to reduce questions of morality to questions of fact.

        Apologies for any errors I am only half-awake.

        When translating this to the animal realm it’s pretty clear what part of the male to cut in half, but what part of the female specimen would we cut?
