Did the Martians at least have a name for this planet before its destruction? It should have a proper memorial...
Yeap.. but it was in Martian.. Humans would be unable to speak it...
I believe the rough martian translation for that doomed planet was "Earth".
Our present planet translates to something like "backup planet in case things go awry with Earth". Though, it's usually just shortened to "Earth" because differentiating the two hasn't been important for the last billion years or so.
@taclane Absolutely correct! Who gave you access to our historical databases?
@mlnevese You guys never took the tags off before you put this planet into service. Flip the globe upside-down, and it's all there in two-dozen languages.
Backup Earth, Size M - 100% Genuine Planet. Machine wash in cold water. Tumble dry low. No bleach.
Well, I think the evidence speaks for itself. What do you say @OrlonKronsteen , isn't the waffle much more adorable than the pancakes? Would you not vote for that waffle?
Why, it's like looking in a mirror! How can I argue with the facts? I initially voted for 'other' as I was going to choose French toast, but I now see that I was wrong to think that. So very wrong. Long live waffles!
Edit: now I'm having a craving for Belgian waffles with maple syrup and whipped cream, and about two liters of coffee.
I put forward the motion of joining forces with our french toast brethren.
I have some grave reservations about putting too much trust in a food that is both baked and fried.
It is difficult to discern their true motives, and I fear such double-agency may betray both Waffles and Pancakes in equal measure.
There is little more than rumor to illuminate the dark designs of French Toast, but I truly believe they are not the independent ally they appear. Proceed with caution, and everyone, watch your syrup.
In a few years we will remember the starting of this thread the same way people remember the shots in Sarajevo 1914.
Indeed. After the assassination of Archduke Franz Flapjack of Kaiserschmarrn, the breakfast defense pacts that have been been in place for decades may turn into all-out culinary warfare.
Looking at the tally I'm thinking pancakes and waffles shouldn't burn any bridges between themselves as various other breakfast forces are indeed on the rise. Hehheh. LOTR eh?
King Waffle:"So much hunger. What can waffles do against such reckless hunger?" Pancake: "Ride out of the kitchen with me. RIde out and meet them" King Waffle: "For maple syrup and butter." Pancake: For the Waffle Kingdom. For your Waffles." King Waffle: "The horn of Batter Waffleiron will sound in the kitchen, one last time!"
