Answer you that!

Whoa, I did not know that this was the night elf dance.

I think she needs backup dancers. Kinda awkward to see one small French girl dancing around in such a huge stage, and I doubt those guys with guitars were actually playing anything

BTW, what does she mean by this:

"Legs up for hours
My goldfish is under me"

????

In English, the song is called, I'm fed up

Bubbles and water
Legs up for hours
My goldfish is under me
To bathe for hours
Makes my mouth water
I'm foamely ecstatic
It's not a problem
I lazy 'round
Bubbly and stubborn

I lazy 'round
Melon and water
Is just a dream
It makes me wonder
Is it a sin?
Bubbles and water
Legs up for hours
Bombs, you keep away from me!
Today lying low
Twisting up my toes
I swim in such harmony
So what bothers me:

Chorus :
I'm fed up with loneliness
With my uncle overstressed
Fumbling, crawling for something
That never shows, just a dream.
I'm fed up with creeps crying
Over the past, such a sin
Not to be cool, but a fool
If I could mess up their rules.
I'm fed up with your complaints
Baby, well I'm not a saint!
Fed up with the rain, the plane
That makes me throw up again.
I'm fed up with all cynics
Bathing caps and all critics
I'm fed up with being fed up! Poor me !

Bubbles and water
Legs up for hours
My goldfish still under me!
Delight of pleasures
Aquatic treasures
A place out of misery, my fantasy

I've seen this done with water and five goldfish, and when he spits them up the goldfish are fine and go right back to swimming in the water. Then, and this one really blows the mind, he swallows some kind of powder - it may have been sugar, I don't remember - and then after drinking the water, he spits the powder up, dry. Said he folds his stomach over and creates a compartment for it.

I would want both money and the goldfish!

It's a goldfish gold mine!

That's all fine and dandy, to an extent. But that has not the slightest bearing on where the evidence is pointing at the moment; should we not work with what we know rather than discard that all and work with what we don't know simply on the basis that scientific theories have often been disproven in the past? Once again, to invoke god where there is no necessity or reason to (filling the gaps for the sake of it) is just plain counter-productive. Saying god is still a valid possibility would carry no more scientific merit than me saying that the "giant omnipotent goldfish of wisdom" is a possibility because the initial assertion is not based on true conjecture but the fact that it can't ever be completely disproven or is simply taken out of ignorance or the utter desire for it to be true. What notion could possibly lead me to think so? We can only extrapolate so far within reason before we start to tread into the realm of fantasy/non-science. Saying "we ultimately don't know" would be better. Saying "we don't know" BUT "I also believe in god as preference" at the same time seems slightly disingenuous and a bit of self-deception. It's having your proverbial cake and eating it too and who doesn't love cake? But beware, the cake is a lie! /superfluous nod to Portal

Our understanding may be finite and very well may always be finite, but it's getting less and less so all the time as time & our own understanding progresses. You can't prove that something does exist because it has NOT been proven to exist and conversely you can't prove something does NOT exist because there is no proof it does exist. We may eventually discover evolution is part of an even larger & more complex system or that it was wrong in some places but once again it's not an "Either it's evolution as we know it OR it's god." multiple choice question. Whatever it is will be based on the tangible when/if it is solved. The possibilities may seem infinite from our own lonely perspective but does that mean every possibility within that infinite spectrum of our imagination is as valid as the next? Are the possibilities that are shown to have zero supporting evidence as important as those that actually do? Are all points of view (regardless of what reality/evidence may contradict) equally valid? Relativism with the facts or lack thereof is not science.

Those goldfish were not disturbed by the events until their bowl crashed to pieces.
