Happy 189th Birthday!

Gregor Mendel was a great big baldy although he appears to have some hair in his Wikipedia photograph; perhaps he bought one of the hair growing kits from the SkyMall magazine onboard an aircraft... who knows? It looks like he worked on a farm for several years so chances are that he drove a tractor, which is quite interesting because I don't think I've ever seen a German chap driving a tractor. But then again... I'm not sure why I'd want to. After starting out as a farmer, he somewhat bettered himself and got into the field of genetics, which is odd considering I'd personally rather be a farmer than staring at pot-plants and peas all day. Each to his own though.

It looks like a nice chap and he's gained place on Google.com which is the ultimate prize. I'm sure he'd be running around the house and kissing his peas with joy if he were still alive.

Happy birthday$:!?

He was bald too

How can you take that for not appreciating what he did? Many people before said they didnt know who he was so I was creating an informative post in a casual tone and slipping in facts that interest people. Also he didn't have anything to do except worship god... then he started growing peas and because of this did very worthwile stuff...

just because you create a boring thread doesn't mean people have to be boring in it. and please please PLEASE stop thinking you can tell people what to do and behaving like you're better than them.

I was trying to avoid this as much as possible but you keep on saying that over and over again. You with your post doesn't make this thread more interesting either. This thread wasn't meant to be interesting. Its just a normal Birthday thread and you act like an arrogant ***** and start talking **** here. Please stop acting so arrogant like you own this. It's not your first time you act like that to me.
