Fair Cop dropping hints on Twitter

A bit of googling throws up this family tree that suggests the Virgin Mary was related to Joseph of Arimathea (which I don’t remember from the Bible!) and this family tree continues to Her Majesty.

No, I was thinking of the Luke and Mathew ones mentioned upthread.

Genesis?

I have no idea at all what I typed in which autocorrect decided to turn into 'gender' in the first sentence instead of 'the'.

They also had a massive family tree that started with Adam and Eve, went through Genesis and Jesus, and for some reason I remember it ending with the Queen

Presumably they used one or other of gender 'begat' lists, but how would they get a family tree past Jesus?
Though I'm reminded that my twin great aunts who were in most respects delightful but were followers of the decidedly iffy British Israelite sect, had a prayer which asked for blessings on the Queen who sat in the throne of her ancestor David (something like that - this is a memory from 45 years ago)

Ah yes, boatyard that’s the one, I seem to have missed a page of posts (and yet read the dolphin rape posts twice )

I was visiting a friend and they basically said you have to see these posters, it’s mad. I think the zoo also had animals but definitely not the reason for the visit!

A bit like the Bodmin Jail serial killer display, also written by someone with an agenda.

I've been to Bodmin Jail and I don't remember that! Please remind us.

Creationists, you say?

Did you know that Mumsnet had its own Young Earth Creationist for a glorious series of threads? It started off when he crashed into this one

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/philosophy_religion_spirituality/1719381-Young-Earth-Creationists

and continued for several more as he tried ever more desperately to 'debate' the pesky wimminz and correct their wrongthink...

So some Christians stick dinos on the ark and other ban them...

Reminds me of the Creationist Zoo that we paid a visit to a few years back. They had a model Ark with the animals going in 2 by 2 with mammoths and dinosaurs. They also housed the giraffes next to the T-Rexs.

Amazing information posters too. Big Bang: science or sophisticated myth?

Watch out Soph the Thighs will get over excited at the thought of eyeballs marinated in latte, croissant crumbs and digestive juices. They'll be over to do some organ harvesting if you don't watch your step.

The one time I went whale watching, the weather was awful and the waves were massive, so while I did see a number of whales, they are inextricably linked with the sensation of vomiting up a breakfast of latte and croissants so comprehensively I swear it was coming out my eyeballs.

Happy days

But then our captain got a message and we headed out to see at full steam.

I meant we headed out to sea, but we did head out to see what was at sea, so...

I was in Alaska last year and in Seward went on a whale watching trip. It looked like a dead loss (and pissed it down with rain), though we did see a lot of other wildlife.

But then our captain got a message and we headed out to see at full steam. We watched for ages as a pod of Orcas was making an awful lot of fuss, frantically diving up and down in the sea - almost certainly attacking one or more animals.

I saw a dinosaur jogging in the park yesterday. When it clocked me it turned and ran the other way.

Most puzzling.

I'd forgotten about the Dino thread - I flipped to the end and discovered I got the last word ( and on it)

The thread is slippier than a spacehopper covered in slug slime sliding down a slide greased in baby oil.

But no cake.

Here is a cake. Don't know why. It just felt relevant.

Magritte spacehoppers, Artemisia Gentileschi documenting early brain surgery techniques, predatory leopard seals (with LTB issues round their relationships with ungrateful photographers) and deplorable dolphins, not to mention whole species competing for Darwin awards... this is the thread that has it all.

THANK YOU for the Kakapo! Brilliant!

And the perfect Magritte spacehopper.

I'm really pissed off by those Barnacle Geese, though, I actually wish they'd just go extinct already rather than pursuing such a bloody silly life cycle repeatedly. Encouraging the wee fluffy chicks to hurl themselvs to their demise off a cliff at least makes me feel like a comparatively better parent than usual.

Wow, good find Eresh, we've come full circle... ish.

It reminded me of the space hopper!

Thanks tinsel, shall enjoy!

Found this Mumsnet Classic thread I had not seen before linked to in the dolphin thread, which I am rereading. This one next!
