• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Is there no hope for any of us
 
OH GOD I'VE HAD/EATEN/AM HALF OF THESE THINGS I'M GONNA DIE!

Seriously though, this is why my family doesn't read the Daily Mail.
 
Hahahahahaha, I stopped reading to laugh at 'BEING A MAN' / 'BEING A WOMAN'. I guess the 'Its' amongst us have it right. xD And-

I was intending to space travel next month but now that the Daily Mail say it could be more dangerous than I thought, I'm reconsidering.

Sex is on the list but I see no virginity. I have an excuse now!
 
Virginity = childlessness.

DON'T YOU SEE THERE IS NO ESCAPE.

I'll adopt six children. That way I will not be childless and according the the article on having children, I'll be less likely to get cancer than men with fewer children. Harr harr

Blimey, one day and they've updated the list with a whole bunch of new things XD

Shamelessly C+P'ing the new list.
 
THERE IS NO ESCAPE FOR ME. I AM GOING TO DIE.

I think I'll comfort myself by getting some chocolate milk and talking to some of my friends on facebook using my wi-fi connection! Maybe I'll give my sister a call while I'm at it.


.... T_T
 
oh god I heard about this on the now show.

According to the Daily Mail, Coffee both causes and cures cancer. Just goes to show how thick the paper truly is.

Are you not jealous :O

To get around the child part, I will adopt a child and cut it in two. That way I can say I do and I don't have any children.

I will make sure I avoid all fruits and carbohydrates forever. Also, water. Although I will greatly suffer for not having chocolate or soup, I will know it is worth it because I will be protected from cancer for the rest of my (seven-day) life. And with this genius plan, I'll even avoid the age factor!
