Ever played Worms 2? Not sure about Worms one. Anyway, you have an 'avatar' which you can upgrade with real money, or gold you earn. Things are insanely expensive to purchase. You have vehicles that shot projectiles into the air and hope you hit something. Avatar upgrade are cheap to rent, but then it only works for like a week. Really retarded.

You know what? Neither do I. So anyway, I got something that I hate more than anything else in this world, something that gets under my skin and drives me insane. You know what it is? Shows and movies in which a person can talk to animals. W. T. F. They are all the same, with such unrealistic situations people consider and believe can happen. So here are my problems with em': - Who in the hell decided that all animals can communicate with each other? Yeah, that's realistic. Cats can speak with mice, lions can speak with alligators and insects can speak with birds. That is of course how it really works, and we humans are the only ones without the incredible innate ability to speak to everything else, even though we have more vocal capabilities than almost anything else on the planet.
- Expanding on the above idea, how is it that every animal can talk to every other animal of the same species even? Have people even stopped to consider that maybe animals are similar to humans in communication patterns? Can YOU talk with every other human? NO! Humans have multiple languages, so why can't animals? Another thing. I saw part of an episode of that Nick show the Wild Thornberries, and they went to China and found a newborn panda taken from its mother. Then when they returned the baby it ran to its mother saying "mommy!" and they started a conversation! That baby is AMAZING! I mean, how many newborns can talk, in the same language as their mother no less, from the second they are born without any training whatsoever? What were they feeding those pandas and where can I get some??? I mean, I could understand if the person's miraculous power allowed them to communicate with all animals, but they shouldn't be allowed to talk to all others too.
- Just because a human can talk to animals doesn't mean that the animals should gain special abilities too. You watch the show and as soon as the character starts talking to the mouse it gets up on it's hind legs, puts its hands on its hips, begins pacing back and forth and its lips start moving to match the English that we hear. Truly incredible. I don't believe I've ever seen animals act in such human-like ways before than how they act when talking to humans, not even when talking to their own kind.
- Most of the animals that the humans talk to don't talk in the conventional sense and shouldn't start now. Snakes don't have ears or a sense of hearing, so when the basilisk in the end of the second Harry Potter movie is blinded and Voldimort yells "He can still hear you!", that's a load of crap. When snake charmers attract a snake out of its basket the snake isn't enthralled by his music, he's attracted by the charmer's movements. Dolphins and whales don't talk either, and use a series of clicks, as many of you know, so they probably can't talk and say as many things as the humans as shown in these stupid shows.
So in conclusion, I hate this throughly exploited concept. Oh yeah, and I hate it when the animals that the humans talk to have recognizable accents. That makes no sense.

Haha. Well, the second movie sucked. The book says it could still SMELL him.

Hahaha, well that's a tad more realistic, providing that it's using its tongue to do the smelling.

It was. Or at least it should have. And I never figured out what a snake had nose holes for... XD

That is not something to XD about ML. Not at all. What you consider "nose holes" are actually pits that some snakes use to sense heat and use in conjunction with their eyes to catch prey. Jeez.

Heehee. Well, I just call them nose holes because of where they are. And yes, I knew what they were, that's why I put the XD there. What did you want me to put? ZA?

ZA? ML, you have just led me to the realm of non-understanding and I can't find an exit.

Turn 80 degrees to your right, and go through the door labeled 'Beyond'.
