Looks like somebody you wouldn't trust with children.

Maybe it's a shark egg. Eggs have whites.

I wonder when it will become an Olympic sport.

But the world is only 4000 years old.

That's like the rudest-looking muppet ever.

I doubt the veracity of this story. Men can get sex anywhere.

“Woman, once made equal to man, becomes his superior” - Socrates.

Isn't Japanese pop something akin to waterboarding? You know it exists, but you don't want to experience it first-hand.

Thanks for the laugh, Gauldar.

As for me, all I know is that I know nothing - Socrates.

The outfit was designed to distract us from their hair.

Sorry, Ryan, but I don't make up excuse-posts to express my frustration. I'm sorry if you feel like it's harassment - I really am - but it's tiresome to have to scroll past long, uninteresting paragraphs of text referring to links that nobody will visit, or quotes that are not relevant to the topic at hand. Neatorama is not a place for pseudo-scholarly debate. It's a place for neat and interesting stuff. The comments are not a place to overload with reams of information that is barely germane to the topic.

And that's it for me. If you want to pursue your pointless endeavour of posting bloated, largely ignored comments that are simply filling up Alex's storage room on the Neatorama servers, be my guest. I ignored you before, and I will go back to ignoring you again. I'll send you the bill when the scroll button on my mouse wears out.

As for this topic, the entire post describes the school as "genderless", and makes reference to the "genderless" baby in Canada. Dougert pretty much made the best comment here: kids will do what they do no matter what we tell them they should.

*facepalm*

Ryan, I can see you really haven't improved after all. It's a shame. I was looking forward to your promised self-imposed exile.

This school is not raising kids as "genderless". It's simply not providing the kids with any guidance on what their gender roles should be. It's something that's been going on in small measure for a while, and doesn't really seem that startling.

Nothing about the pigeon, though, Ryan? Come on, you can do better than that.

The mirror test was devised in 1970 by Gordon Gallup Jr, to determine if an animal possesses or lacks the ability to recognize itself in a mirror.

I highly recommend:
"Self-Awareness" in the Pigeon, by ROBERT EPSTEIN, ROBERT P. LANZA and B. F. SKINNER
Science, 8 May 1981: Vol. 212 no. 4495 pp. 695-696

The abstract of which is: "Each of three pigeons used a mirror to locate a spot on its body which it could not see directly. Although similar behavior in primates has been attributed to a self-concept or other cognitive process, the present example suggests an account in terms of environmental events."

There is no indication that it is a Capuchin pigeon, however.

That's pretty sleazy.

While I think it's a silly concept, I'm not sure they'll turn into freaks of nature because of this. I also don't know if I'd call a smattering of oddballs here and there as "more and more parents and educators".

Scarred or bored? I suppose it was okay animation for its time.
