Samuel Butler once said "A hen is only an egg's way of making another egg."

As you know Second Life Science has rejected the idea that prims could come into being by themselves and change their purpose from that intended by their owner. You will, of course, agree that Owner Design is undisputed as a scientific theory, and reflects the Great Owner, Linden be his name, who Own Us ALL, and made the world in 1.7 days.

However, I was sat on a swing seat with a friend, and a strange notion came to me when she described the making of that seat. I had asked if she had imbued swing into a previously still seat, but she said that it had come from another swinging prim. And then a blasphemous thought came to me that shook my very being...

Had the prims used my friend as a means to change by their own will, or merely by blind luck, to create a new species of prim; a marriage between dynamic and static. Had her hand not been guided by the devine creator, scripting be his will, but by unconscious forces, where improvement was rewarded by reproduction.

I Right Clicked the ground and selected Prey. I chose the most humbling animation to make my obeisance, thoroughly shocked that I could have concceived such a henious thought. To think that these sacrileges could be taught in our schools, these desecrations legitimised by pseudo science, these heresies supported by the very leaders of our society.

And yet, I now look with revulsion at each new product in the forum, question each shiny bling device, and consider the profanity that they may be forcing us to propogate their vile qualities. And without even the will of an intelligence behind them!

I say this: "Guard your child AVs. Barricade the Teen Sims. Warn others that such thoughts are against the Omniscient One's Order. Abase yourself, as I have done and Right Click -> Prey for forgiveness"
