So here I am, riding home on the bus, and I find this folded up piece of paper under a seat. I open it up, and it was a story entitled "The Scorpion and the Frog". I shrugged and started to read..

Woah
:ohdear:
Strange story, wonder who wrote it? On top of that, who would leave this weird story beneath a seat on the bus? Probably someone who wanted it to be found.
Then suddenly bananas.
Thousands of them.
Based on this: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scorpion_and_the_Frog[/url] by the way.
This is a unique play on this old story, but it's a major downer when it comes to people. The story implys that no matter how much a person says they have changed, they're going to do the same things that they always have from things a small as picking your nose, to field goaling cats simply because of nature.
It's moral is old, dated and wrong as anyone with half a brain has the capacity to change.
It makes the story interesting and also

I learned this story from star trek voyager
the episode is called scorpion it's not very good
replace "badass" with "black" and you'll see how retarded this moral is
It's an invitation to the Illuminati.
The whole moral of the story suggests that stereotypes are always true? :confused:
Really interesting story!!!! Thanks Paul!!! LOL

No problem at all!
The moral of the original story was that you can't change who you are. Unfortunately, they gave the animals human characteristics. Whereas animals may rely on instincts and follow most regardless, once the animals in the story were given human traits people assumed the same was true of humans.
If taken out of context and tried to apply to something else, it has a horrible moral. If you accept that it's only about animals, it's just a story with some truth in it.

I'm going to rewright this and leave a ton of copy's in random places.
This reminds me of the time I wrote a really long and fake auto-biography detailing my torture by various agencies and left it on a park bench and recorded someone finding it, reading it, and showing it to people.
I wish my printer work so I could make leaflets of stories like this and toss them everywhere.
