Random Questions.
Why is the term 'destroyed' used when any animal is killed as a result of it being a danger to the public? To me, 'destroyed' implies that they strapped C4 to the animal, lead it into the middle of a field, and did a controlled explosion on it; I presume this is not what happens.
And why does Denise van Outen front any trashy light entertainment programme on ITV? She is like the Jeremy Beadle of the new millenium.

To destroy is an emotionless phrase whereas to kill or murder or slaughter gives a certain emotional twist to the whole thing. Imagine all those animal rights hippies hitting the streets when they say they've "preventively murdered one million chickens" or something like that. When they say the've "destroyed" them it's all fine and dandy.

Re: Random Questions.
destroyed : I see your point but one definition is simply "to put out of existence"
denise van outen : nice tits, what else does a trashy light entertainment presenter need? (also Mel Sykes and Davina McCall get a lot of those jobs too so it's not all Denise)

Contributing to the general drunken 'phwoar, I'd shag her' mood.

Re: Random Questions.
I wouldn't shag her. I'd send her out to get the two for the price of one deal at Pizza Hut

Re: Random Questions.
I'd send her out to get king prawn fried rice with curry and chips, eat it off her naked body, and then shag her.
Due process and all that.

Re: Random Questions.
I still want to know why inflammable and flammable mean the same thing, and why genius is spelled without an 'o', yet ingenious has one.
But then again, it's probably something shit and obvious that i've overlooked for both of them.

They are derived from Latin, and the Latin verbs "inflammare" and "flammare" both mean "to set on fire". ("Inflammare" is also the root of the verb "to enflame".)

"Genius" is a direct borrowing from Latin (the Latin word is also "genius") and "ingenious" is derived from the Latin word "ingenium", and so has been modified to look like an English adverb.

Not unless you call comparative linguistics "obvious".
