ThunderPeel2001 Posted June 14, 2012 Unfortunately completely real, though since removed. Seriously, how do you know it's real? (Of course, parents like that DO exist -- I've heard stories of electro-shock therapy in Mormon communities to "fix" gayness -- but this doesn't totally ring true to me.) Also, pretty horrible that that screenshot was yours, Patters. I thought it was something you'd found that was becoming a meme. I didn't realise it was just something that you witnessed first-hand. That makes it so much worse... and it's apparently not even special enough to become a meme. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I went on Craigslist (*shudder*) and looked. To be fair, someone may have created a replica of it on actual Craigslist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThunderPeel2001 Posted June 17, 2012 While it was on Craigslist, that homophobic ad was still a fake: The ad was actually placed by a high school student named Daryl who told McGonnigal: "I write horrible posts on Craigslist all over the country to see what issues make people angriest for a project I'm putting together. I'm sorry anyone that was offended. ... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jamie-mcgonnigal/anti-gay-craigslist-ad-a-hoax_b_1597454.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

castorp Posted June 22, 2012 Murder of crows. Group of crows is called a murder. Ah, thanks Twig. Figured it was probably a language-thing I didn't understand.A group of crows is called a flock or, more poetically, a murder. But the term “murder of crows” mostly reflects a time when groupings of many animals had colorful and poetic names. For example, other “group” names include: an ostentation of peacocks, a parliament of owls, a knot of frogs, and a skulk of foxes.That makes me happy - especially 'ostentation of peacocks'. 'Ostentation' as a group-word is great.Look, it's an ostentation of words. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
