-------- Gumpalan Pikiran adalah Kuda Poni

gumpalan pikiran itu seperti
kuda poni kecil binal nakal menari-nari
haus kelana tapi terkendara tali
karena terlalu bebas dia bisa mati

namun tak urung pula sesekali
jiwa jelajah liar terbang sendiri
di suatu sore dimana angin mengaburkan matahari
dan sitor situmorang mindik-mindik membisiki

...sereguk lagi aku mabuk akan gelegak cintamu...

maka berontak ia enggan satu dengan seisi sendi
gumpalan pikiran kuda poni kecil binal nakal tak tahu diri
melesat terbang tinggalkan bumi
untuk hinggap di pulau para illahi

menatapi kecil binal nakal itu pergi
para sendi pun meludah mengutuki sambil bernyanyi
pergilah kau pergi gumpalan pikiran yang memisahkan diri
kau bukan bagian dari kami lagi

On Terrorisms

The escalating conflicts of Israel-Palestine in Gaza had brought questions thrown to my face these couple of days. I've tried my best to explain, and today I read a note posted by one of my good friends, M. Haripin, which sorts of explain my stance why i think both sides need to meet the call of immediate cease-fire by the UN. As we know, Gabriela Shalev, the Israeli ambassador, said that her country would continue to do whatever necessary to protect itself against what she called terrorism (BBC, 1/1/09). Shalev refers to Hamas, obviously. Such claim has been the justification for Israel's continuing air raids, a claim which I think politically incorrect at its very core.

Here's a comprehensive writing of my friend, hopefuly it would sort of give an angle in explaining the conflicts happening in Gaza recently. It is written in Bahasa, but you can PM me if you need an english translation of the writing.


---------------------------

Terorisme di Israel

Sungguh memilukan apa yang tengah terjadi di tanah Palestina 2 hari terakhir ini. Lebih dari 300 warga Palestina tewas dan 600 warga lainnya terluka akibat serangan angkatan bersenjata Israel. Ribuan warga lainnya yang terkepung di Jalur Gaza ditolak memasuki perbatasan Mesir. Julukan sarkastik bagi Palestina, yakni “penjara terbesar di dunia,” mencapai manifestasinya.

***

Kali ini, sama seperti sebelumnya, dalih yang digunakan Israel untuk melakukan serangan adalah demi melumpuhkan kekuatan militer Hamas. Dalam law of armed conflict (LOAC), dalih Israel ini disebut reprisals. Sebelumnya, dalih reprisals pernah diutarakan Israel guna melangsungkan serangan militer ke Beirut, Libanon pada 1969.

Berdasarkan LOAC, reprisals merupakan tindakan melawan hukum apabila tidak memenuhi tiga kondisi berikut ini: (a) sebelumnya, negara pelaku reprisals harus terbukti menderita kerugian akibat tindakan ilegal yang dilakukan negara/aktor lain; (b) negara bersangkutan tidak mendapatkan kompensasi atau permintaan maaf atas kerugian yang dideritanya; (c) negara bersangkutan melakukan pembalasan yang proporsional.

Dalam serangan kali ini, kondisi 1 dan 2 terpenuhi. Israel memang menderita kerugian atas serangan roket kelompok Hamas. Israel pun tidak mendapatkan kompensasi atas kerugian yang dideritanya karena, (1) Hamas bukanlah aktor negara; (2) Hamas tidak berniat untuk berdamai dengan Israel.

Problem timbul dalam kondisi ketiga. Apakah Israel melakukan pembalasan yang proporsional? Saya pikir tidak. Serangan udara massif oleh 60 pesawat tempur Israel terhadap daerah yang dihuni oleh 1.5 juta penduduk dan pengerahan 6500 tentara organik untuk melancarkan perang kota (urban warfare), dilihat dari sudut pandang manapun, bukanlah tindakan proporsional.

Operasi militer Israel kali ini, yang disebut Operation Cast Lead, malah melanggar 2 prinsip dasar dalam international humanitarian law (IHL), yakni indiscriminate dan menghindari collateral damage.

Pelanggaran terhadap indiscriminate, yakni serangan berhasil menewaskan korban sipil non-kombatan, dan bahkan turut meluluhlantakkan sekolah dan pasar. Ini bukan hal yang mencengangkan karena strategi serangan secanggih dan serapih apapun tentu tidak akan mampu menghindari korban sipil non-kombatan, apabila serangan dilancarkan ke daerah padat penduduk. Oleh karena itu, klaim Israel bahwa Operation Cast Lead diarahkan kepada Hamas adalah tidak valid. Alih-alih indiscriminate, Israel malah, “membakar gudang beras demi membunuh satu ekor tikus.”

Pelanggaran terhadap menghindari collateral damage, yakni serangan militer Israel menyebabkan kerusakan kepada infrastruktur publik yang seharusnya aman dari serangan, di antaranya adalah masjid di kamp pengungsian Jabaliya dan Universitas Islam di Gaza. Infrastruktur publik/sipil adalah tempat yang tidak boleh diserang, berdasarkan IHL. Lokasi dan tempat lainnya adalah dual-use target (tempat yang bisa digunakan untuk kepentingan sipil dan militer) dan cultural property (tempat/lokasi peninggalan kebudayaan).

Operation Cast Lead jelas problematik –untuk tidak menyebut “pelanggaran”- dalam kacamata hukum internasional. Di satu sisi, hukum internasional tidak terlepas dari sistem politik internasional yang anarki. Permintaan atas penghentian serangan dan penyelidikan atas pelanggaran hukum internasional mustahil terjadi apabila Israel masih didukung oleh Amerika Serikat. Terlebih lagi, Amerika Serikat bahkan turut menyalahkan Hamas yang dituduh memprovokasi Israel. Di sisi lain, masyarakat internasional yang di dalamnya ada PBB, Inggris, Prancis, Rusia, dan masyarakat Iran, Irak, serta Venezuela menginginkan serangan militer Israel segera dihentikan karena alasan kemanusiaan dan tidak memenuhi kondisi reprisals.

***

Dalam memahami serangan Israel saat ini, ada baiknya kita renungi kisah Alexander Agung dan bajak laut yang diceritakan oleh St. Agustinus ini (Chomsky: 2003). Suatu ketika, Alexander Agung bertanya kepada seorang bajak laut yang tertangkap, “Mengapa kamu berani mengacau lautan?” Bajak laut menjawab, “Mengapa kamu berani mengacau seluruh dunia? Karena aku melakukannya hanya dengan perahu kecil, aku disebut maling; kalian, karena melakukannya dengan kapal besar, disebut kaisar.” St. Agustinus menilai jawaban bajak laut itu, “Sangat bagus dan jitu.”

Operation Cast Lead menguatkan watak koersif Israel dalam menghadapi Palestina. Selain melalui instrumen koersif asimetris (tidak proporsional), Israel pun melakukan perang ideologi terhadap kelompok pembebasan Palestina, yakni menyematkan julukan “teroris/terorisme” bagi Hamas. Menarik untuk dicermati apa yang dinyatakan oleh Israel ini. Terorisme adalah, “... the deliberate creation and exploitation of fear through violence or the threat of violence in the pursuit of political change (Hoffman: 1998).” Berdasarkan definisi Hoffman, dan melihat serangan militer Israel yang tidak proporsional pada 2 hari terakhir ini, pihak yang lebih pantas untuk menyandang gelar “teroris” adalah Israel, bukan Hamas. Israel telah menciptakan dan mengeksploitasi rasa takut melalui kekerasan serta ancaman kekerasan demi mencapai perubahan politik.

A day just like any other day


no sangria in a park
nor feeding animals in a zoo

but i am a fat ass and your belly is bulliable
and we ride along our bycicles until we lose our breaths
upon all of our morbid sense of humors
we fell in love with the cobra guy with piercings on his brows

i got you an edible action figure of yourself
colorful fabric paints you got me to color my shoes
fingers twirling under thousands of movie screens
and silence, just countless of silence under the spell of our books

that night when i'm in a joplin confession
you were thinking of the biggest chunk of pork in town
glowing aurora in a night sky on the corner of my eye
and you said that all the star patterns are making sense

oh it's such a perfect day
i'm glad i spent it with you
just a perfect day
you just keep me hangin on
you just keep me hangin on

Colorful! He said.

Earlier today, I asked him... "What is the first adjective that comes to your mind when you think of me?"

"Colorful. Even when you're wearing all black." He said.

And all of a sudden I got Rolling Stone's song in my head.
"She comes in colors ev'rywhere;
She combs her hair
She's like a rainbow
Coming, colors in the air
Oh, everywhere
She comes in colors..."

Except that i DONT comb my hair. hahaha...

What is the first adjective comes to your mind when you think of me? :p

One Year Death of Aqsa Parvez - A victim of honor killing

Actually, Aqsa's death was on 10th December, 2007. So this article I posted was late by a week. But the issue never cease to persist. A story of defiance, and oppressions. A young girl, killed by her father and brother for refusing to conform to the religious values her family upholds for life.

Aqsa, then a 16 years old girl of Pakistani origin living in Ontario, Canada, was killed after she refused to wear a hijab and declared her desire to define her own identity (that included wearing clothes she chose, which apparently angered her pious family). A cheerful person who had a passion for music and dance, Aqsa was deeply loved by her friends (even up to this day they never forget to put flowers on her un-named tombstone, i'll get into that later. And set up a foundation to help oppressed teenagers). After her death, many of her friends claimed that during her live, she refused to wear the veil and would often change her clothing once she got to school, then change them back before going home.

A newsbreak by CBC reporyting Aqsa's killing a year ago:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpV_cJ5E0wQ&feature=related

ABOVE: Picture of Aqsa's Gravesite
BELOW: Aqsa Parvez, 16 years old.


I told you I'll get back to the story of her tombstone. After that one year, the only thing remains from Aqsa, is just a number '774' crafted by the cemetery employee in the Meadowvale Cemetery, Brampton. No name, no birth date, no date of death. No nothing.

Tarek Fatah, founder of Muslim Canadian Congress and author of Chasing a Mirage who admitted that he was disgusted by the killing said "A victim of an honour killing is always left in an unmarked grave. Imagine caring more about your faith than your child? When this happens, it shows they don't give a damn about her and the fact a family has chosen to not put the name on a grave proves the point that they are embarrassed and gives an insight into honour killings."

Other said that the grave has no headstone because neither the family nor the community wanted one for her. Aqsa's family adopted a Wahabi belief, which are said to be against headstones. They claim it is worshipping the dead, which was forbidden by the religion.

Whatever the reason is, Aqsa's resting place is kept anonymous by her family, probably also as a symbol stressed by her sanctimonious community to deny her short-lived existence of non-conformity. The whole concept has became too familiar for me here, in our country... where the religious authority begun imposing values and tries to hush the non-conformists with violence, even with legal law...

Our UU-Anti Pornografi has been legitimized, it's now legal in our country to punish and criminalize woman who defy that pseudo-concept of virtuous clothing. I'm now counting the days where there will be more cases like Aqsa's here happening in our country. It may happen in ten years, it may happen in five years, or as short as tomorrow (remember, after the fall of Shah it only took Iran two years to become a nation full of religious fascists and their sick religious implementations), for all I know, it WILL happen. If we don't do anything about it. Are we going to defy?

Take me to the barbershop again!

I dont understand why boys dislike waiting for their girlfriend in hair salon so much.
Really, I dont. Isn't there so much to see while you guys are waiting?
I mean, today is the first time he asked me to accompany him to a barber shop and I realize that any other time he would pop the same question, I would most definitely answer with "hell yeah baby, count me in!".

I had fun! What not to like? Looking at boys being pampered and groomed... had their short frowzled hair being trimmed cautiously... got their barber chair tilted backward while the barber carefully smearing the creamy looking shaving cream on their cheeks and chins... seeing them closing their eyes as the sharp knife slowly move up and down on their skins...

What not to like? :p When I finally walked outside the barber shop I feel like I had just been bathed with pheromones.

Hahahah. I'm sick, I know.

a trip to the gynecologist

Have you ever paid a gynecologist a visit? Oh, you are not blessed with womb and vagina? Very well, that's understandable. But when you are among the blessed ones, and you happen to be twenty something, going to a gynecologist should be something that you do at least once in a year. It's not just a matter if you are sexually active, the ovarian cancer, or often called the silent lady killer, could happen to anyone. The youngest case of ovarian cancer was a girl of 8 years old, scientists now are encouraging more and more routine gynecologist visit to young girls, in order to be able to detect and combat early sign of cancer.
So I really dont see anything wrong with going to gynecologist. Hell, it's my frickin vagina, and I have a full right to maintain it and to gain any information I want regarding my reproduction organ. But of course that positively happy view doesnt go very well in most Indonesian hospitals. Why? Because I'm not married.
This is the typical procedural questions you will hear when you go to a gynecologist:

# Mrs... or Ms?

# When was the last time you had an intercourse?

# Why aren't you married?

I can still tolerate the first question. Oh well maybe they need such information for database or administrational purpose. The second question is just a normal basic procedural question asked by gynecologist, so I dont complain, really. But the third??? WTF? Like, I dont think whatever answer I would give them would be relevant to sniff out any type of cancer they need to make a diagnose. Pfff... so next time you ever go to a gynecologist and he or she asks you the third question, just smile to them and answer:
"Because I love watermelon and ladybugs and blowing out spit bubbles."
A wonderful way to show how you understand your doctor, that is, his or her interest of playing the random question-answer game.

PS: Recently, warporcus showed me this link: http://insideindonesia.org/content/view/1150/47/ a terrible story about how fucked up our health system in Indonesia. No surprise, seriously. When irrelevant question has become a part of the standard procedural thrown by the supposedly-scholars, I know something seriously freaky is going on with the system.

We need your HELP! The government is barbaricly killing cats and dogs in the street!

"Ever occur to you why some of us can be this much concerned with animals suffering? Because government is not. Why not? Animals don't vote." ~ Paul Harvey, American Radio Commentator

Dari Kompas, Dinas Peternakan, Perikanan dan Kelautan (Disnakkanla) DKI Jakarta akan melakukan razia kucing dan anjing liar yang dianggap mengganggu lingkungan di Jakarta. Katanya, kucing dan anjing liar ini populasinya udah berlebihan sehingga bahkan banyak terlihat di puskesmas, kantor pemerintahan dan istana negara. Penyelesaiannya? Seperti yang ditegaskan oleh kepala Disnakkanla, Edy Setiarto, anjing dan kucing liar ini terancam dibunuh.

A friend of mine told me that recently she watched on tv, bagaimana anjing dan kucing liar ditangkapi. Mereka ditangkap pake jaring terus dilempar gitu aja ke bak. Bahkan ada yang sampai berdarah-darah. Nasib selanjutnya? Maybe there'll go straight to the death chamber :(

And that's just typical! Keputusan-keputusan yang gampangan dan barbar memang rajin sekali dikeluarkan oleh pemerintah kita. I mean, negara kita sampai sekarang nggak pernah punya shelter yang benar-benar decent dan terorganisir dengan baik oleh pemerintah untuk mengurusi masalah hewan-hewan liar seperti anjing dan kucing. Ada sih, di Ragunan, tapi bahkan di sana pun hewan-hewan terancam dibunuh karena nggak ada yang mengadopsi.. Lantas, begitu populasi hewan liar mulai tidak terkontrol dan 'mengganggu' mereka di kantor-kantor pemerintahan atau istana negara, mereka dengan gampangnya ngambil solusi untuk 'bunuh-bunuhin aja!'

Padahal, sekiranya pemerintah kita cukup cerdas, populasi anjing dan kucing itu justru bisa dikontrol dengan baik dengan adanya shelter-shelter itu. Mereka disterilisasi dan dirawat serta bisa diadopsi oleh orang-orang yang menginginkan mereka. But no, tentu saja. Seperti yang saya kutip di awal entry ini, mana perduli pemerintah sama isu beginian, binatang kan nggak punya hak pilih dalam pemilu! Nggak punya hak pilih ---> nggak bisa jadi suara tambahan yang nganterin mereka ke kursi empuk ruang berAC dimana mereka bisa terbuai-buai sambil mengeruk duit rakyat.

And i'm so angry, i really am. Because sometimes I think, in this world of the fucked ups, those animals are so far better than human. As Mark Twain accurately put "Of all the creatures, man is the most detestable. He is the only creatures that inflicts pain for sport, knowing it to be pain. The fact that man knows right from wrong proves his intellectual superiority to the other creatures; but the fact that he can do wrong proves his moral inferiority to any creature that can not." Plus, seriously, I know some people who has poorer brain capacity than a mused mice, those religious militants, for instance. I would rather have myself surrounded by thousands of cats and dogs than having one of those stupid religious around.

So what can we do about it, friends? Well, razia masih berlanjut dan teman-teman kita di iCARE membuat petisi untuk diteruskan kepada pemerintah DKI Jakarta. Lo bisa ikutan petisi ini untuk menunjukkan kepedulian lo dan mencegah lebih banyak lagi kucing-kucing dan anjing-anjing yang disakiti secara barbar oleh pemerintah. Lebih lanjut, ini bisa jadi langkah awal untuk menegaskan kepada pemerintah akan perlunya pengadaan shelter untuk mengatur permasalahan hewan liar, termasuk masalah penyakit dan populasi.

Ini surat yang mereka buat untuk pemerintah. Lo bisa kopi paste surat di bawah ini dan kirimkan langsung kedki@jakarta.go.id atau ke www.bangfauzi.com di bagian 'surat anda'. Atau lo bisa tulis sendiri uneg2 lo pada pemerintah dan kirimkan langsung ke alamat tersebut. Jangan lupa CC surat yang dikirim ke iCARE di alamat icareask@yahoo.com agar jumlah surat yang terkirim bisa didata oleh mereka.

Ini contoh surat dari iCARE untuk pemerintah:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yth Pemerintah DKI Jakarta

Bersama surat ini saya menyatakan keberatan saya dan segenap pecinta satwa selaku Warga Negara Indonesia atas rencana Dinas Peternakan dan Perikanan DKI Jakarta yang berencana untuk memusnahkan anjing dan kucing jalanan sbb :
http://www.kompas.com/read/xml/2008/11/28/20003284/anjing.dan.kucing.liar.di.jakarta.akan.dirazia

Kami menyadari bahwa hewan jalanan dalam jumlah besar akan menimbulkan penyakit dan ketidaknyamanan bagi masyarakat, namun pembunuhan BUKAN lah jalan untuk mengatasi kelebihan populasi satwa jalanan.

Bayangkan ketika anda sudah membunuh mereka, namun tetap saja pemilik satwa yang tidak bertanggung jawab membuang satwa peliharaan ke jalan dan mereka kembali berkembang biak maka anda harus mengadakan pembunuhan massal LAGI tidak lama kemudian.

Pembunuhan memang mudah, namun tidak efektif dan menunjukkan perilaku samasekali tidak menghargai kehidupan. Anda bekerja atas nama bangsa Indonesia dan mewakili kami semua, dan apabila kejadian ini sungguh terjadi samasaja dengan mempermalukan kami dan bangsa ini.

Suatu metode untuk mengatasi permasalahan kelebihan populasi satwa jalanan yang kami anjurkan adalah dengan STERILISASI untuk mencegah lahirnya satwa yang harus tersia-sia hidupnya dijalanan.

Dengan catatan, kegiatan sterilisasi diawasi oleh pihak swasta/ LSM yang bergerak di bidang kesejahteraan satwa ( animal welfare) untuk menjamin bahwa prosedur yang digunakan sesuai dengan kaidah dalam kesejahteraan satwa .
Dengan sterilisasi maka satwa tidak akan berkembang biak dan apabila masih ada satwa yang terlewatkan untuk disterilpun, perkembangbiakan akan terhambat karena kebanyakan satwa di jalanan sudah disteril.

Bagi yang sudah terlanjur ada di jalan, sebaiknya dilakukan vaksinasi rabies secara berkala apabila masih ada ketakutan akan penyakit rabies, walaupun pulau Jawa sudah bebas rabies seperti yang telah diketahui bersama.

Dan juga himbauan dan sanksi tegas bagi para pemilik satwa yang membuang satwa di jalanan.

Semoga Jakarta dapat menjadi contoh bagi Disnak Propinsi lain sebagai Badan Pemerintah yang bermoral.

Demikian surat kami selaku pecinta satwa sekaligus Warga Negara Indonesia, semoga diperhatikan dan ditindaklanjuti sebagaimana mestinya.


Salam,
( Nama Terang)
(Alamat Rumah)
(no Telp)
(atau apasaja yang bisa membuktikan bahwa anda nyata)

Good night, good repose o good swines!

Now, unto thy blanket good night!
Whilst that this shadow, o me swine lord,
Doth such substance give
For I, me lord,
Locked hereth in me own chamber,
Thus far from the chamber where thou liest.
When in dead night, retire we upon solitary
Me shade, o noble swine,
Shalt hold thee till it be fair morrow
For thou mayst see daylight,
Which lead thee forth, o brave swine,
Unto me sweet kiss, the golden sun gives not.

Change in the weather

There's a change in the weather
Heard it's coming soon
There's a change in the weather
Hope this gets to you
Here's to everyone, sing along

There's a change in the weather
Don't know where to go
There's a change in the weather
Don't go to work
Here's what we say, sing along
Here's what we do, sing along

When it's closing in we're gonna hold you
And whisper sweet melodies in your ear
So you never feel lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely

Morning wake up call

Is the world too fucked up to apply the concept of peace and understanding?
Is that such a utopic and alien concept?


I dont understand why there are too many evil people around... :(


Good morning, folks. Hope you all have a good day. Hope you all would wish each and everyone of you happiness during the day and security during the night.
Hope you all would allow at least a tiny space in your corrupted little brain to think of enlighten yourself.

Mari menyembah bambu :)

Ah, setelah berhari2 terjerat diskusi awut-awutan namun menarik nian di blog ini saya jadi menyadari kalo semesta ini begitu kaya. Bagaimana tidak? tulisan mbeling si empunya blog itu berhasil mengundang berjenis-jenis makhluk yang membuat saya terheran-heran. Para Islam radikalis berdatangan? ah itu mah ketebak. Datang pihak-pihak yang keukeuh bahwa Islam sekarang berada di jaman kegelapan? Saya sudah sering dengar argumen mereka. Tapi baru tadi malam saya bertemu spesies baru, yak! dia itu adalah spesies MURTAD JUMAWA.
Hahaha... lucu sekali. Saya sampai tergelak-gelak. Tambahan lagi dia sangat seksis dan terobsesi pula dengan agama saya, yang menurut saya berada dalam ranah personal. Tapi saya cukup baik hati mengizinkan dia membaca2 blog saya, siapa tahu dapat pencerahan dengan main tebak-tebakan buah manggis, apa agama saya sebenarnya.
Saya terheran-heran, dan jadi terlibat pembicaraan maha serius yang menyebabkan kepala saya hampir pecah rasanya karena dipaksa berpikir terlalu keras, dengan seorang teman saya, veniestlavie.

veniestlavie: Emang agama lo apaan nyet? Hahaha... kayanya keukeuh bener tu orang pengen tau agama lo. Dia pengen ngebuktiin kalo agama lo itu salah kali nyet. Dia murtad jumawa kan? Mungkin dia punya segala macem argumen buat mentahin agama lo...
silencedmekare: ..... agama gue? Duh... sebenernya gak enak gini gue bilangnya... agama gue...namanya.... Palalishakaratendhura...
veniestlavie: HAHAHAHAH. Tolol lo. Dasar bitchy keparat. agama lo nyembah bambu ya?
silencedmekare: iya, ritual sembahyangnya main suling. makanya gue keberatan sama UU AP soalnya kalo lagi niup suling gue harus sambil egol egol. gue merasa terancam dengan keberadaan UU itu...
veniestlavie: ahahaha... bisaaa bisaaa...
silencedmekare: dewi suling gue namanya Ventjerooshka.
veniestlavie: bagus, bagus...
silencedmekare: nabi gue namanya robert...
veniestlavie: ah kurang eksotis itu mah. gimana kalo nabi lo namanya Bolis Kleepertart?
silencedmekare: AHAHAHAHA. tolol lo! iya emang itu namanya. ahahahaha...
silencedmekare: actually Bolis Kleepertart itu bukan nabi, dia dewa yang mengatur semua persebaran tahi lalat di muka bumi ini.
veniestlavie: Bwahahahahaha... nyet nyet, hewan suci lo adalah babi... babi dengan tiga mata... pose andalannya yang kaya Buddha tidur itu nyet...
silencedmekare: Iya terus di perut babi tiga mata itu terpatri dengan indah gambar Dewi Ventjeeroshka dan Dewa Bolis Klepeertart. Semuanya mengetengahkan pemujaan suci terhadap bambu, nyet.
veniestlavie: mwahahaha...

Jadi, ada yang tertarik menyembah bambu seperti saya? Saya tidak memaksa loh... kan 'bagiku agamaku dan bagimu agamamu'? :p

The First Sex Talk

Really funny. Hahaha. This was happened back in those days when got created the first two humans on earth, and thought, well... the world needs to be less dependent on him and the two needs to know how to make more humans by themselves...

I got it from http://www.collegehumor.com/article:1763617

So this is what was happened back then...
God nervously paces back and forth in front of Adam and Eve.

God: We need to talk. You've both have been alive for a full three weeks now, and you may have started to notice certain, um, urges when you're around each other.

The two stare blankly.

God: Let me start over. You know the birds and the bees?

Adam: I named them both. So?

God: You're right, that metaphor doesn't help or even make sense. To try another tack - there are only two of you. What if we wanted more?

Adam: I guess you could take another of my ribs, but that really hurt and now I whistle when I breathe.

God: Right! Well, if you love each other very much and decide to spend the rest of your lives with each other-

Eve:
As opposed to whom?

God: Here, the angels gave me these diagrams. Maybe they help?

Adam: Oh THAT? We've been doing that for weeks! It's great!

Eve: Yeah! Wait, what's this next part? Is- Is that a little Adam? You put a little you inside me?!?

Adam:
I did that? I am the man!

God:
Technically, that's true.

Eve: Do I have to do the thing with the new Adam, too?

Adam: But- I thought you enjoyed the thing!

Eve:
I do, but, um, God said we should only use it for making more you's. Or maybe me's. Any other time really pisses him off.

God:
I did not say that.

Adam: Fine. What about that other, more complicated thing we tried? The one that doesn't make people?

Eve: Yeah, he's definitely against that one.

Adam:
Well, heck, maybe I'll just go do it with one of the lions! How about that?

God: I can't believe you're making such a huge deal out of this simple,natural thing. Forget it. I'm not even going to tell you about super-orgasms.

Adam:
Wait, what?

God disappears in a flash of lightning.

Adam:
That was weird. Want to do the thing?

Eve: Is that all you think about?
