@DawkinsTales @RichardDawkins Meant to be writing a Trustees report but ended up writing this: mrsite.co.uk/usersitesv20/5… #fairytales #meat
You can call me a big bad wolf but not a bore, says Richard Dawkins gu.com/p/3pp62/tw
"If you think a pig is capable of building a house full of bricks to withstand a wolf, by all means take shelter there. It won’t end well."
Sorry to disappoint, but here's actual audio of Richard Dawkins talking about fairytales, being totally reasonable. bit.ly/1kwRhSj
“Bears don’t talk, can’t work a stove, won’t sleep in beds, and are solitary by nature. WHY must we fill children’s heads with this idiocy?"
“Children, look at these pictures and you’ll see why this ridiculous ruse could never have worked in the real world."
"Try to put boots on a cat and you’ll get several deep scratches to the face. Not a fortune."
@jemimakiss @DawkinsTales The selfish genie.
"Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum. Professional blood tests, not noses, are the scientifically rigorous method of distinguishing the blood of an Englishman."
"Science tells us that mirrors are entirely unsuited to judging human beauty and fairness on a global basis. And they can't talk either."
“Three bowls of porridge from the same batch would never cool to ‘too hot’, ‘too cold’ and ‘just right’ over the same period of time."
“Princesses are traditionally chosen via hereditary monarchical principles. Talk of peas and mattresses is pernicious supernaturalism."
"Elves would struggle to make human-sized shoes with their teeny-tiny tools, even if elves existed. Which, obviously, they don’t."
“Basic cookery physics should tell you, children, that a gingerbread house would have collapsed in on itself soon after it was built."
"If animals could talk (which they can’t) one of them would have told the Ugly Duckling that he looked like a goose."
“Someone would have told the emperor that he was naked before he got anywhere near a horse or crowds of well-wishers."
"Goats can’t talk. Trolls don’t exist. Statistically, the grass is unlikely to be greener on one side of the bridge than on the other."
“A goose made of pure gold would be unable to support its weight or eat, so would die in infancy, rather than grow to egg-bearing adulthood"
“Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair!” “It won’t do you much good, hair is unable to bear the weight of a climbing adult prince."
