The Earth is way older than 6k years old, The calendar now (2009) is the years since time was recorded in that area. the 6k calendar you were talking about is from the Chinese dynasties, when 6k years ago something was recorded on paper(?). So it’s not believing, it’s true.
Um, I think they know that the Earth is more than 6k years old. Their statement was “where people believe Earth is 6K years old” which would be referring to the other people who actually do believe it (unfortunately).
Also, 2009 is not part of a calendar system started 2009 years ago in any area. The currently accepted universal calendar system is the Gregorian Calendar, established by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582. It is (theoretically) referring to how many years it has been since Jesus was born (i.e. Jesus turned 18 years old in the year 18). Hence the suffixes BC (Before Christ) and AD (Anno Domini). However since that isn’t politically correct the current suffixes are CE (Current Era) and BCE (Before Current Era).
Also, it’s not just the Chinese calendar. The Jewish Calendar is currently in year 5770.
Actually, fun fact: there’s no year 0, so by the way we count birthdays today, Jesus would have turned 1 in the year 2, and so would have turned 17 in the year 18.
…not that your point is actually wrong in any way, but I used to get stumped all the time by those “If someone was born in 10 BC and died in 57 AD how old were they when they died”" questions.
True, but the Gregorian system was based on that particular individual and how many years it had been since he was born (meaning by the standardized counting system Jesus was born in 1 BC, ironically). They were off by a few years anyway, so in the end it doesn’t really matter.
The picture already looks like pure racism and separates people by their skin color. I dont see a reason why another color shouldn’t of been added in the context.
In no way im xenophobic , racist , or homophobic .
Kthxbai
Or you’ll what? That kind of “humor” is exactly what the fail is suggesting. Or is it ok to make fun of African American/Caucasian differences, but not Asian? Sorry, but it’s all or nothing with racial comments. Either deal with all of them or go view a different fail.
After all, just what were you expecting to see in the comments of this one?
time to take downfail blog altogether then I guess….. I was gonna say myself, “do all the other races have to use the stairs?” but I guess selective racism is ok huh?
Speaking of Star Trek crap, I saw a box of cereal the other day that was advertising a free Star Trek shirt (If you send in so many box tops or whatever). Amusingly enough, the shirt is red.
The first thing I thought when I saw this was that the sign is an antique. When I lived in Japan, a black buddy of mine and I went to a restaurant that had lots of old racist items on the wall. None were for sale, but my friend tried his damnedest to buy a bean bag toss game where the object of the game was to toss the bean bags into the mouth of a black man with those stereotypical gigantic lips. I’m sure if he had seen this same themed restaurant in the US, he’d have been peeved, but being it was Japan, he and I got a real good laugh at some of the crap they had on their walls.
He was vaguely humanoid. If you hadn’t heard him open his mouth that would have been a likely mistake. I assume you had just been waiting for an LHC reference for some time now.
maybe its a game show and there is a black team and a white team rather than a red team and a blue team. each team has their own elevator. very likely huh.
and selective over sensitivity in others it seems. half the worlds problem is it’s too damn politically correct these days. Me I’m not racist I make fun of everyone equally, including myself. Ah it’s good to be a real Australian, we know it’s only racism if the intent is there.
oh and by intent, I mean the intent to be hateful. just to be clear. obivously this fail had the intent to be viewed racially, but in a humouress fashion.
I find it amusing when they say “speaking proper king’s english” you’d think the actual “English” would know how to pronounce the language they created. Then again maybe Michelle Obama means Martin Luthor’s English…. yes that would make sense. Ah the Cricket. another pointless past time of watching grown men (or women) chase a ball for no constructive reason themselves. I thank the powers that be, if I had to live on a planet with just bears and kangaroo’s and other animals that don’t go against their true natural beings, I would never have anything to laugh at.
THIS is the only intelligent comment i’ve seen yet. haha!
(not to mention the MJ comment about people not knowing “it doesn’t matter if your black or white” LOL)
*picks up shellacked mullet*
*takes mighty swing toward Laura’s back-ward ass*
*knocks it out of the park*

All better now.
ah trolls that word is so over used and incorrectly so, funny how those who genrally label people trolls are the ones doing it. and yes I am a troll, by the definition of the word…. I live under bridges and scare goats.
I don’t know what you could have said. There aren’t any elevators in Alabama. They get scared of revolving doors down there. An elevator would start a riot.
ah but it is, it’s only bigoted, or racist, or hateful when “it’s other people doing it” otherwise it’s being caled witty and funny don’t you know….. do as they say not as they do, I know I’ll be original *hands Jimbo to But it is to launch into the sun* ZOMG aren’t I hilariously original and witty! ah after 100 years I still don’t get tired of the same joke… I mean original comments…..
Yerp! Thanks for asking! I’m just gearing up for another loooooong semester of whining, forgetfulness, inattention, laziness, attitude, tears on my shoulder, and those few brilliant moments of connectedness and enlightenment that make it all worth while.
Education of the few, completely blank stares from the rest! Good Luck, I am sure you will get more than your fair share of fantastic students!
*crosses fingers for DW*
Oh! My bloody husband didn’t pack anything either when we moved a few months ago. He did all the heavy lifting, but didn’t pack anything and didn’t unpack anything.
*squeeze*
thank you, I would not have minded, but it was half a houseful he left behind when he sent the moving guys away!
*gives up*
*makes tea for all*
I’ve been working on slowly moving stuff this entire month and hoping I get done before the end of it or I have to pay rent on two houses AGAIN. I’m doing it all on my own, but I have a good argument for why he isn’t helping you pack/unpack. At least then you can’t yell at him for not knowing where anything is.
Remember when that email asked you for them so you could “Eliminate All Bills Forever,” and you sent them all to them?

don’t you people have IM’s and social sites… I hear a wonderful thing called email and conference calling was invented. I know let’s talk about what I am going to have for lunch and what coloUr underwear I shall wear today, this is what humor sites are for yes?
Hmmm, that may not have been very clear on my parts.
*long explanation warning*
I have a pet peeve about wishing people good luck in situations where they are responsible for the outcome.
I don’t believe DW’s teaching skills have to do with luck. So I didn’t want to just wish her Good luck. What students she gets is not under her control, so I was trying to express my wish that she gets good students.
Sorry, allow me to explain why I laughed there.
Obviously you misinterpreted Arthur’s “hmmmmm” and assumed that he was disapproving of what he thought was criticism toward Dragonwriter. Then you took the trouble of clarifying your statement in a lengthy explanation and only realized that it was besides the point right after you sent it.
Back in highschool it was the greatest fear of every young man to get a HAR… during the annual medical exam. Often we had to wait a considerable time in a small dressing booth in our underwear till we were summoned by the (goodlooking) female doctor, and all everyone could think was “Don’t get a stiffy now, don’t get a …”
Hmm you thought “don’t get a stiffy NOW” while in the room full of boys in their underwear? Seems weird, I would of thought it while I was being examined by (supposedly goodlooking) female doctor. (funny how in these situations the medical examiner must be stipulated as always being “good looking” I smell a cover up of the real story here.
How can we create blackholes when we haven’t even proven they exsist? And wish someone told me creations secret had been unlocked… so please tell me, do i get down and start praying like crazy, or can I go out and live in joyous sin knowing no repurcussions but certain oblivion await me?
Blacks in this elevator, whites in that one. All you Asians Indians, Mulatos, Quadroons, Octaroons, and the rest…you butt-heads take the stairs. Oh ya…no voting, or drinking from the same fountains, or else it gets the hose…… IT GETS THE HOSE!!!!
Arthur, Moomin, have you guys heard the preformed by that American Idol guy…*tries to remember name* *gives up, goes to Google* …Adam Lambert. clickie^^ (I think this is it, i don’t have sound at work)
*wakes up, disoriented*
*blinks in light*
Where… where am I? Is this… is it Failblog?
*sees vague shapes forming*
Wait… I can see Arthur… and Ms B…and the rest of the gang! It is Failblog!!
I missed you guys.
*squeezes*
*Big squeezes for Ms B, Arthur, k@, Bearly, STS*
I’m hanging in there, thanks! Lots going on. I fly to Miami for my interview on Thursday. I have visitors due over the weekend. We’re going to a Cirque du Soleil performance. I catch them every time they’re in town, they put on a fantastic show!
Did I miss anything big? I heard Qwaz left us.
*squeezes Shadow*
What?! Right as they were about to finish the new pool, too. Tornadoes in Toronto?! That’s freakish. They hardly ever get tornadoes.
I blame Arthur!
Hey Chan! *return-squeeze*
Happy Monday backatcha!
I almost didn’t recognize you, your avatar changed. Maybe my cache just refreshed.
Did your weekend help you recover from your work frustrations?
Indeedy it did! Also the knowledge that in a week work won’t matter so much helps… It will just be “that place I go to make a little money and do homework”.
(My avi came from a new webcomic I’m obsessed with. Hehe!)
Missed you!
It’s not funny because you take things personal and to serious, plan to die young. Maybe mid 40′s early 50′s. Will you leave me your lunch money in your Will? I like lunch. You can leave me shiny things too….I like shiny!
Funny, everyone liks this to segregation… I’d say it’s not an integration fail, but rather a win, as the white letters are well-integrated with the black background, as the black letters are well integrated with the white background. (I’m a “glass is half full” kinda guy, except when it comes to government.)
that was how I originally viewed it, to me a fail is something that is intentionally unintentional by design. e.g if this was aimed at segregating races then it would be a fail. But as usual it is a simple sign manipulated to be a fail. for all we know it could refer to fabric or cans of paint transportation in a warehouse. Bring back the real fails! net is so full of fake ones that they’re the real fails these days. FOr me this isn’t a fail as it does what it was designed to do. it was posted for people to get the wrong idea about it and make people laugh, except for the few humorless people who turn all such things ito a matter of race, this is a unfail I think as it succeeds in what it was designed to do.
I think this is from the Apartheid Museum in South Africa. When you buy a ticket it gives you a skin colour for a day and from that point onwards, you have to use separate stairs, elevators etc.
I’m pretty sure this is from the MCG (Medical College of Georgia) Hospital in Augusta, GA — someone texted me a pic of this sign a while ago. The colors are supposed to help you remember where you parked
this would probably have been in South Africa before the white, racist government was replaced, black people and white people had to go to different toilets, cafes, and they wernt alowed to stay in hotels.
I’m transparent—how I’m supposed to remember anything?
(But it’s clear we’re likely to see yet another webpage with lots of ugly.)
A-yup.
*Sigh*
*readies pit traps*
lol yar fail
actually there are some of them in the South and also in areas where people believe Earth is 6K years old

That’s disturbing..
Why does yellow need an elevator, have YOU ever seen a dry cleaner on the second floor?

That was uncalled for.
You misspelled not funny, dumb, annoying, boring, stupid, bigoted…
That kind of “humor” is not welcome here. Please don’t do it again.

Don’t give me any of that Star Trek crap. It’s too early in the morning.
Speaking of Star Trek crap, I saw a box of cereal the other day that was advertising a free Star Trek shirt (If you send in so many box tops or whatever). Amusingly enough, the shirt is red.
Oh, and Hi everybody!
Hiya, Avis. Mornin’.
That’s some healthy cereal! welcome to what will hopefully not be the last fail of the day. We need new material.
Hey, I *HAVE* one of those shirts!

No fair! All the regulars get fun weapons and all I got is a potato. Can’t I at least have a potato gun or something?

Don’t worry I don’t believe in k@apults, but I do herby swear my allegiance to potatopult all trolls so long as my crops shall live.
*gets carrotgun ready*
How did I make this gun?
That’s a secret weapon of the Irish but since the only way to make it is to be totally plastered, no one ever remembers how they did it.
Herby potatoes……nom nom
Ack! Do you know where that potato’s been?!
In the ground.
That’s never a safe assumption on Failblog.
It may be slightly used.
Breski is right. You don’t want to know where MY “potatoes” have been.
*Brewski
sorry!
*gasps*
*hands RHSC(Q) a sligtly used light sabre*
Slightly used? … I guess that explains why there’s a hand still grasping it. Those jedi sure do leave a lot of these things lying around.
I could use this on the trolls AND bake my potatoes while I’m on the go.
Mmmm…potato. saber-roasted
*prepares an army of trolls*
*gasp* TRAITOR!

Yep. We got plenty of variety.

The first thing I thought when I saw this was that the sign is an antique. When I lived in Japan, a black buddy of mine and I went to a restaurant that had lots of old racist items on the wall.

Sorry – not getting on this one – bye!
*looks sadly at the door MRN just closed*
*whimpers*
There’s water pouring out from under it…
Oh no. Haven’t they ever listened to Michael Jackson? Don’t they know it don’t matter if you’re black or white?
I suppose you can remember it without it mattering.
Actually, it does matter. You have to use the black elevator if you’re black.
*hurls PC into the sun*
Hmm, I guess now you have to use the constituent atoms elevator, won’t you?
Link that elevator directly to the HADRON collider, so he can never regain his human form!
*psst* Bf, he never had a “human” form. He was a troll.
Of course! How stupid of me!
*formally apologises to the entire human community for grouping the creature called PC with their kind*
He was vaguely humanoid. If you hadn’t heard him open his mouth that would have been a likely mistake. I assume you had just been waiting for an LHC reference for some time now.
Be careful, I feed on people like you.
I totally read that as the “hardon collider”. And combining that image with the picture just brought to might a really strange jousting match.
OUCH!
But then again he wasn’t the American President.
Well I am various different colours- I have no idea what to do…..tattoos make life harder!
The harlequin elevator is down the hall to the right Ms. You can’t miss it.
Ooh, do they play steamy romance books on tape instead of elevator music?
*Heads for K@’s elevator*
Yes, although in this elevator, one side plays Barry White, the other plays Barry Manilow.
Yeah but they only play the boring “plot” parts instead of the good parts. You know, the creative euphemisms. Those are edited out.
YAY
*skips off to find the blue, pink, purple, red, green, brown, yellow, orange, lilac, magenta, ochre, cyan, black, white and skin colour elevator*
…follow the rainbow
*Skittles*
I was wondering if anyone would catch that… but, I shouldn’t have knowing this crowd, hardly anything slips past.
Splendid clickie.
There’s a skin colour elevator? Well that settles all the problems then! Everyone into the skin colour elevator, you can’t go wrong there!
maybe its a game show and there is a black team and a white team rather than a red team and a blue team. each team has their own elevator. very likely huh.
oh and it says remember your color because if you get on the other teams elevator your team looses
There’s an integral sign something not right with this one.
It’s a divisive topic…
Heavy lifting.
I can’t derive any pleasure out of a sign like this. It’s totally out of LaPlace!
You could predict the exact sequence of comments right after the sign was posted.
It’s not hyperbola to say that racism fails bring out an ugly combination of comments from the group.
and selective over sensitivity in others it seems. half the worlds problem is it’s too damn politically correct these days. Me I’m not racist I make fun of everyone equally, including myself. Ah it’s good to be a real Australian, we know it’s only racism if the intent is there.
oh and by intent, I mean the intent to be hateful. just to be clear. obivously this fail had the intent to be viewed racially, but in a humouress fashion.
Black is not a color.
And an elephat is not an animal.
*brain blows up*
*elephant
stupid typos
An elephat is not an animal: correct.
Black is not a colour: also correct.
White is a color: correct.
Yay for logic!
*high-fives all around*
Argh! Colour, it has a U in it!
I never understood why the Americans removed the U.
*gives badger a cup of tea*
*plays zen music*
And you are… happy again…
ahhh, much better.
Could use some cricket though..
*hands Badger some cricket* There you go.
Is it the English Team? They won the ashes you know
Is it the Ashes?
Yes, it’s the Ashes!
England have won the Ashes!
Take THAT Australia!
Shut up.
I’m grumpy.
No U!
Because we have a hard enough time spelling “color”, adding letters just adds to the chances of LOL speak, or Barrens chat.
I find it amusing when they say “speaking proper king’s english” you’d think the actual “English” would know how to pronounce the language they created. Then again maybe Michelle Obama means Martin Luthor’s English…. yes that would make sense. Ah the Cricket. another pointless past time of watching grown men (or women) chase a ball for no constructive reason themselves. I thank the powers that be, if I had to live on a planet with just bears and kangaroo’s and other animals that don’t go against their true natural beings, I would never have anything to laugh at.
white is a collection of colours. known as a shade: correct
THIS is the only intelligent comment i’ve seen yet. haha!

I don’t mean to rain in your parade, but isn’t this like feeding the trolls?
Not that I don’t like it…

I was this close to making an Alabama joke, but decided against it.
I don’t know what you could have said. There aren’t any elevators in Alabama. They get scared of revolving doors down there. An elevator would start a riot.
And that is not a bigoted comment? I think you should go fly into the sun!
ah but it is, it’s only bigoted, or racist, or hateful when “it’s other people doing it” otherwise it’s being caled witty and funny don’t you know….. do as they say not as they do, I know I’ll be original *hands Jimbo to But it is to launch into the sun* ZOMG aren’t I hilariously original and witty! ah after 100 years I still don’t get tired of the same joke… I mean original comments…..

Have I just walked into a 1980′s Doctor Who episode?
*steps into alternate universe portal*
Screw it, I’ll just leave you-know-where!
Screw it, I’ll leave this reply.
Screw it, I’m too mature to by into this gag.
Damn!
….and i didn’t even get to say, “Goodbye!”
Welp…I’m off to meet my new students for the first time. Once more unto the breach, dear friends!
*girds*
Good luck!
*Squeeze*
*hands DW a brown paper bag with an egg salad sandwich and a juice box*
Have fun in school today!
*squeeze*
What…?? No cookie????
*pouts*
*sneaks traditional first day of school cookie into Dragon’s briefcase*
Go get ‘em, DW!!!!
*squeezies*
*Slips cupcake into DW’s lunch bag*
Best I can do on short notice, sorry! Now run along and play nice with the kids!
*secretly slips special cookies in DW’s lunch bag*
*slips a thermos of champagne into Dragon’s bag*
Tee Hee! Hope you have a good day!
*empties lunch bag and packs into Girl Genius lunchbox*
*adds fruit and encouraging note*
*Adds Cherry Blossoms to lunch box*
*sneaks a muffin into DW’s lunch bag*
I had to be quick.
don’t you people have IM’s and social sites… I hear a wonderful thing called email and conference calling was invented. I know let’s talk about what I am going to have for lunch and what coloUr underwear I shall wear today, this is what humor sites are for yes?
Ooooh exciting! Tell us how they are, will you?
*squeeze*
Will do!
*squeeeeeze*
Good luck! Have fun!
*squeeze*
Good luck as well!
*sqeeze*
(meant squeeze) *makeup squeeze*
May you have attentive students.
Hmmmm?
What was that? I wasn’t listening.
What did you say????
*throws mug*
Hmmm, that may not have been very clear on my parts.
*long explanation warning*
I have a pet peeve about wishing people good luck in situations where they are responsible for the outcome.
I don’t believe DW’s teaching skills have to do with luck. So I didn’t want to just wish her Good luck. What students she gets is not under her control, so I was trying to express my wish that she gets good students.
I hope you get good students Dragonwriter.
Or I may not have gotten Arthur’s joke.
That’ll learn me to FB before coffee.
*snickers*
*passes Scott a vat of hot coffee*
Enjoy!
Thank you!!!
*shlurp*
can i pease have one too? mine is cold!
ack, there is too much peaness in my comment
Hahaha!
Sorry, allow me to explain why I laughed there.
Obviously you misinterpreted Arthur’s “hmmmmm” and assumed that he was disapproving of what he thought was criticism toward Dragonwriter. Then you took the trouble of clarifying your statement in a lengthy explanation and only realized that it was besides the point right after you sent it.
Or you may not have gotten your joke.
No worries.
I agree, and I’m laughing at myself as well.
Or you may not have gotten Czuhc’s joke either…
Or I was name failing, as always.
Gargamel? Is that you????
Run, Judy! RUN!
Anal… it’s not just buttsechs….it’s also a way of life.
Protect those loins.
Good luck and don’t forget to see how many unrelated books you can get them to read!
*squeeze*
“Your next assignment will be to read the Illustrated History of Toilet Paper Dispensers”
*Moomin squeeze*
I’ll be saying a prayer…
What elevator do the blue people use?
Judy! Why don’t you field this one.
(Missed my cue again!!!)
I use all the colors. Twice if I like it.
ELEVATORS! I use all the ELEVATORS!
(Sorry, I’m a bit out of practice on my fail comments!)
♪ … some of them want to use you… some of them want to be used by you… ♫
Mmm hmm, sure. Oh Dr. Freud, what do you make of Judy’s slip?
Those goddamn blue people can walk! That’s pretty much what they’re good for, except working on my plantation.
Gargamel, is that you?
I didn’t say anything about making a special potion…
Getafix, is that you?
Yes, you caught me.
That was easier than I thought.
However did you and the village of indomitable Gauls cause the Romans such problems?
That was easy, I just needed some smurfs, hot water and then… well, you get the point.
Don’t forget the raspberries.
Pbbbbbpbpbpbpbpbpbpt
This time of the year? How am I supposed to find… Oh okay, I’ll go.
*storms off*
*greedy face*
Well, you’re safe, I promise… Come here and give me a squeeze!
Well come one I need someone for my land.
The touaregs? Do they have floors in their tents?
I don’t grass what you are saying.
Dr. Manhattan has no need for an elevator.
Chuck Norris too.
( I considered making a Dr. Manhattan remark in reply to BF’s HADRON post up there ^)
I don’t think he’s already allowed to have those.
He’s 15. If I was a good example for boys that age, he has trouble getting rid of those…
Back in highschool it was the greatest fear of every young man to get a HAR… during the annual medical exam. Often we had to wait a considerable time in a small dressing booth in our underwear till we were summoned by the (goodlooking) female doctor, and all everyone could think was “Don’t get a stiffy now, don’t get a …”
Just close your eyes and imagine it is GCF giving the exam. That’ll do the trick.
Hmm you thought “don’t get a stiffy NOW” while in the room full of boys in their underwear? Seems weird, I would of thought it while I was being examined by (supposedly goodlooking) female doctor. (funny how in these situations the medical examiner must be stipulated as always being “good looking” I smell a cover up of the real story here.
I’ve heard it’s a large hadron, too…
He collides it into things too.
He’s a secret swaffler.
Yup. People were even worried about it creating a black hole for a while. Now that’s something to be proud of.
It has unlocked the secret of creation though.
It has? Creation isn’t functioning properly then?
Well I’d have though that would have been obvious.
*thought
Case in point.
How can we create blackholes when we haven’t even proven they exsist? And wish someone told me creations secret had been unlocked… so please tell me, do i get down and start praying like crazy, or can I go out and live in joyous sin knowing no repurcussions but certain oblivion await me?
Then what are you planting to do?
Blacks in this elevator, whites in that one. All you Asians Indians, Mulatos, Quadroons, Octaroons, and the rest…you butt-heads take the stairs. Oh ya…no voting, or drinking from the same fountains, or else it gets the hose…… IT GETS THE HOSE!!!!
This is obviously from the set of the new Spy Vs Spy movie.
It’s a Mad world. *skips off*
*flies through window*
*Squeezes kinda funny*
*squeezes kinda sad*
*waves*
*the squeeze in which I’m dying is the best I’ve ever had*
*tries to help but flies through another window*
You misspelled “last”?
Never underestimate the determinedness of necrophiles.
I forgot about them. But stay for a little longer, will ya’?
*pounceandsqueezes Arthur and Moomin*
Just ‘cuz!
*my squeezes bring all the boys to the yard…*
Arthur, Moomin, have you guys heard the preformed by that American Idol guy…*tries to remember name* *gives up, goes to Google* …Adam Lambert. clickie^^ (I think this is it, i don’t have sound at work)
ha! that is the best take on this I have seen so far! there is hope for humanity after all! but what about the lady spy? is there a grey elevator?
Look at the picture. Maybe there is no elevator. They just want to make people fall off the building.
What did you do to your face then?
He tied the weight around the wrong head?
I was wearing a helmet at the time
*squeeze both!*
Both heads or both of us?
*squeeze*
hahaha both
Aaaaaaaaaah! Octogranny!
Doesn’t look like Angelina Jolie though.
Is this a new type of relationship?
Monogamy, polygamy, octogranny?
Oralgamy – a relationship based solely on oral sex and paper folding.
*Snork*
At the same time? Concentrating must be somewhat difficult
That kind of “humor” is not welcome here. Please don’t do it again. lawlz as the kids would say.
*wakes up, disoriented*
*blinks in light*
Where… where am I? Is this… is it Failblog?
*sees vague shapes forming*
Wait… I can see Arthur… and Ms B…and the rest of the gang! It is Failblog!!
I missed you guys.
*squeezes*
You were gone? Didn’t notice.
*justkiddingSQUEEZE*
Who are you?
I’m your father, Brew.
No! It can’t be! I’m not like you! I would never let the dark side take hold and shag unsuspecting sheep! I blame Arthur!
*SQUEEZE!*
How are ya?!
*Big squeezes for Ms B, Arthur, k@, Bearly, STS*
I’m hanging in there, thanks! Lots going on. I fly to Miami for my interview on Thursday. I have visitors due over the weekend. We’re going to a Cirque du Soleil performance. I catch them every time they’re in town, they put on a fantastic show!
Did I miss anything big? I heard Qwaz left us.
*mutters to self*
(Qwaz left us? Must go read the comments since last Thursday…)
I just read Qwaz’s goodbye letter. So very sad.
He shall be missed.
When did this happen?
Yup… and Emp was the victim of a tornado… house got trashed.
It’s not been a good couple of weeks for FB, I think…
*squeezes Shadow*
What?! Right as they were about to finish the new pool, too. Tornadoes in Toronto?! That’s freakish. They hardly ever get tornadoes.
I blame Arthur!
Sorry ’bout that.
*returnsqueeze*
Yup, I was surprised. I thought you had about as much chance of getting a tornado in Toronto as you did in Oregon.
“It’s not been a goud couple of weeks for FB”
Well, it’s not all bad, you dusted off your hat and spurs and got back in the saddle again.
*tacklesqueeze*
Nah, it’s just a very good dream.
*SQUEEZE*
*squeeze*
*SQUEEZE*
G’morning!
*smoochies of the most “missed ya much” kind*
Nice to see you back, sweetie!!!
Hi Judy, Hi Lurk!
Thanks! It’s great to see you both! How was the weekend?
*squeezes!*
*Squeeze!*
Happy Monday! How’s it going?
Hey Chan! *return-squeeze*
Happy Monday backatcha!
I almost didn’t recognize you, your avatar changed. Maybe my cache just refreshed.
Did your weekend help you recover from your work frustrations?
Indeedy it did! Also the knowledge that in a week work won’t matter so much helps… It will just be “that place I go to make a little money and do homework”.
(My avi came from a new webcomic I’m obsessed with. Hehe!)
Missed you!
*flies through a window*
Two to beam up, Scotty.

What happens if you’re brown?
then, shit happens…
Jeez, get a (chat) room *squeezers*. This is Fail Blog, not Twitter.
*squeeze*
*sneaky squeeze*
Your powers of perception astound me. This is in fact Fail Blog… and we *squeeze* each other all the time. ……. *squeeze*
Lets all have a big group squeeze *big group squeeze*
*squeezes*
*squeeze* ^clickie^
i would have to say that this isn’t even funny to me.
It’s not funny because you take things personal and to serious, plan to die young. Maybe mid 40′s early 50′s. Will you leave me your lunch money in your Will? I like lunch. You can leave me shiny things too….I like shiny!
Experiential Museum Win
Apartheid Museum in South Africa, they march you through after you get a card.
Funny, everyone liks this to segregation… I’d say it’s not an integration fail, but rather a win, as the white letters are well-integrated with the black background, as the black letters are well integrated with the white background. (I’m a “glass is half full” kinda guy, except when it comes to government.)
that was how I originally viewed it, to me a fail is something that is intentionally unintentional by design. e.g if this was aimed at segregating races then it would be a fail. But as usual it is a simple sign manipulated to be a fail. for all we know it could refer to fabric or cans of paint transportation in a warehouse. Bring back the real fails! net is so full of fake ones that they’re the real fails these days. FOr me this isn’t a fail as it does what it was designed to do. it was posted for people to get the wrong idea about it and make people laugh, except for the few humorless people who turn all such things ito a matter of race, this is a unfail I think as it succeeds in what it was designed to do.
wow… the most epic-est fail of all time
— FAIL OF 2009—
epic-est of all time? you’ve not been on this world long have you?
If we have to remember our colors, doesn’t that mean we have reached color-blindness, and wouldn’t that be an integration win?
Now, Where the hell are the Yellow people supposed to go?
WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thats a win what are you talking about
“Don’t hate. Segregate.”
it’s 2009, it’s “self segregate” XD
wwwttttfff, how does the age of earth have anything to do with this fail =)
I think this is from the Apartheid Museum in South Africa. When you buy a ticket it gives you a skin colour for a day and from that point onwards, you have to use separate stairs, elevators etc.
Isn’t it the Michael Jackson Memorial Museum they opened?!?! *sings Black and White*
REMAMBAR YER GODDAYUM COLOR11!11!!1!!!11!!!
Thanks, *Circe*, I was wondering where this came from.
I’m pretty sure this is from the MCG (Medical College of Georgia) Hospital in Augusta, GA — someone texted me a pic of this sign a while ago. The colors are supposed to help you remember where you parked
The context of the photo is lacking; I’ve never heard of anyone forgetting their skin color, so something else is being referenced.
Thank you Lauren…finally some context!
What if you are brown or yellow???
Hello from Tokyo.
I’m the one.
Maybe I’m supposed to use stairs.
ahh subtle racism
this would probably have been in South Africa before the white, racist government was replaced, black people and white people had to go to different toilets, cafes, and they wernt alowed to stay in hotels.
Shadey!!
