The joints on the front legs of quadrupeds aren't called knees.

What are they called, then?

Some have 6, some have 10. It varies.

Not at all. I thought the same thing until just now.

I swear to Christ the fucking carpenter, you people are dense.

I knew that monkeys have thumbs on their feet, and shit like that, but not that elephants had 4 knees...

If they have 4 little disky pattellas, they have 4 knee's...

Gee, thanks for the sarcasm.

I kinda thought, for the briefest of instants, "Fuck, they wouldn't still call 'em <<Quadru-peds>> (which translates, astonishingly, into <<four-footed beings>>) for no reason, right? I mean, why call 'em four-footers (if the front legs are actually ARMS, thus making their front feet HANDS), if they don't actually HAVE four feet?"

I hope that in your infinite wisdom, you'll forgive me this tiny moment of confusion, caused by misleading modern terminology.

Hang on, forgot to thank this dude as well.

For HE most assuredly has never, ever, ever acted in a dense manner in his entire life, much the same as poxpower, and thus may rightfully treat the rest of us (who were mislead in this one single case) like a bunch of mentally challenged people.

Thanks, Gunter. This spiteful answer to my honest, innocent question really made my day.

It was a jab at how pox broke up "EL" and "BOWS," you easily offended pussy.

Ooooooooooh.

Because (A) it was unthinkable to be accidentally mislead by reading your response and (B) you're proving me so very, very wrong now by calling me a "pussy" over a simple misunderstanding.

As I said, nice fellow.

Time to kill this stupid rumor once and for all.

Dosn't every animal with four legs have four knees?

Beavers definetly have necks. Which are used. Daily.

STOP READING UR MAKING IT HARD TO BLUFF.

This should hopefully make knees vs. elbows a little more obvious.

I didn't know it until I googled it though, I would have taken your bet pox.

No. You confuse the idea of having four legs with the idea that the joint in them is called a "knee."

Definition of knee:

A joint between the femur and tibia in a quadruped.

Definition of elbow:

A joint between the humerus and the ulna and radius.

...can you read what you're writing down, pal?

"You're still a pussy, a whiny bitch", in essence, and then "Hey, no reason to be offended".

I swear, people ordinarily lighten up when the request to calm down isn't immediately preceded my direct insults.

Trust me on that.

Elephants can't jump.

You're far too tightly wound for the internet. Getting offended because I made a snarky comment on a forum pretty much labels you as a pussy. You might not like getting called that, but that's what you are as long as you keep making a big deal about nothing. People ordinarily aren't like that. You can trust me on that.

Depends on what you call a "nose."

No?

The comment you wrote was pretty much immediately succeeded by yet another comment of yours, stating something to the effect of: "Jesus Christ Carpenter, you folks are dense", and using elaborate pictures to explain your point.

And it was immediately preceeded by pox's comment, stating "EL-BOWS", in which he uses a pretty unmistakably harsh tone towards the person asking the question.

So basically, your comment (the one that mislead me, and that subsequently lead you to insult me as a "pussy") was sandwiched between two fairly offensive posts.

So basically, both taken by itself and along with the other comments aforementioned, that same comment could NOT have seemed unoffensive, unless I'd somehow gotten to know you beforehand and was thus previously informed of the fact that you regularly make this sort of joke in a non-offensive way (or not...like I said, I don't actually know you).

Put simply, it's like this: there's not a hell of a lot of ways I could have NOT responded in offended tones to what you said.

Also, if you take a close peep at my comments, I never once offended you with insults, which I presume would be the mark of a true "pussy".

So your point is...on the internet, people don't respond to comments that have about a 99% chance of being offensive in offended tones?

And if they DO, they automatically fall into the category of "pussies"?

Wow.

And, I presume, YOU who tell me that I'm a "pussy" and such...YOU must be the "normal" internet type. It couldn't be that, just maaaaaaybe, I'm not all that much of a "pussy", and you are a liiiiiiiiittle bit...overly offensive (notice the absence of insults yet again)?

Pox made a snide remark and I poked fun at that and your next logical step is to double post about how offended you are and get all defensive. Saying something simple like "didn't need the sarcasm" or anything along those lines would have been rational, but you went ahead and launched into a tirade of hurt feelings about how pox kicked sand into your vagina. That's grounds for being a pussy, I called you on it when you started smearing your menstrual blood all over me and you're crying about that now. All this whining certainly isn't scoring many points in the "not a little bitch" column.

If I've understood correctly, it comes down to this:

If I'm a pussy, you're an OK fellow. But if you're being more offensive than needed, I'm the OK person.

"All this whining", you say?

All of this wonderous insulting and witty use of insanely original vulgar metaphors isn't exactly proving you to be the kind of guy that enjoys putting people down uneccessarily.

The concept of "stalemate" may seem childish, since this isn't exactly a contest (you usually enjoy those), but...this would seem to be pretty much that.

obviously, it's the PRINCIPLE that's making me sit in a thread entitled "elephans Have 4 Knees" and go on and on with this discussion. You needn't add any more bright, well-intended "menstrual blood" jokes on that matter.
