norton hung himself in a planetarium for six week researching that role

goole, Wednesday, 18 April 2012 17:54 (thirteen years ago)

from the expression on his face, Norton hung himself shortly after this picture was taken

What happened? I am confused.

why is the moon autistic?

idgi. is this really a thing, believing this?

andrew m., Wednesday, 18 April 2012 18:12 (thirteen years ago)

i mean i know about creationists and the whole dino bones (or any "evidence" the earth might just be really damn old) were planted by satan to test the faithful stuff, but this is a bit beyond.

andrew m., Wednesday, 18 April 2012 18:13 (thirteen years ago)

no, it's just people referring to Earth Day as "earth's birthday," and celebrating the 400th Earth Day, and combining the two without thinking about what that implies

some former lust object you've shamefully forgotten (some dude), Wednesday, 18 April 2012 18:14 (thirteen years ago)

The Moon is all like "How come there isn't a Moon Day, eh? Maybe I'll just go orbit some other planet and see how you like having NO TIDES"

i mean even the most extreme 'young earth' biblical theories estimate the age of the planet at 6000 years at a minimum

some former lust object you've shamefully forgotten (some dude), Wednesday, 18 April 2012 18:15 (thirteen years ago)

Norton was engaged to Courtney Love, so any irrational act he indulges in after that doesn't seem so extreme in comparison.

how did i not know that

goole, Wednesday, 18 April 2012 18:24 (thirteen years ago)

Earth was birthed during a brainstorming sesh at UNESCO's 1612 convention at the Hyatt Regency, Crystal City, Va.

andrew m., Wednesday, 18 April 2012 18:24 (thirteen years ago)

god i keep looking at those creepy earth and moon faces and laughing

some former lust object you've shamefully forgotten (some dude), Wednesday, 18 April 2012 18:25 (thirteen years ago)

Earth: "I say I say I say! The Moon has no nose!"
Edward Norton: "How does it smell?"
Earth: "Awful!"
Moon: "I do not wish to know that, kindly leave the theatre solar system!"
