I have a hi-res version of it on my computer, I'll see how big it is and upload it to my webspace.<br><br>[EDIT: Nevermind, it's almost 500mb. Oh well, if someone REALLY wants it I suppose I could send it to them, but my host's server would probably freak if I put a single file that size on there.]

500MB!!! *jaw drops* A CD holds up to 650 or 700MB.. That is one seriously huge image; I can't picture it being anything less than an uncompressed TIFF or something like that. Hmm. I wonder how much space that NASA's Spirit rover's photo of Mars takes up on a hard drive.

Don't horry, Huffa, I decided on a bio(chem) related career a few years back, and forensics were one of the options I considered. I'm looking more into biotechs and DNA research fields now.

I'm trying to find where I downloaded the episode, since it's too big for me to upload, I know there should be a post somewhere on 2's "Furry Army of Doom" message boards which is where I found it... while looking though I did find this:<br><br>"I'm a pretty socialble guy in RL with a decent level of charisma. When people talk about 'how pants up furries are' I tend to use the good ol' bastard powers on 'em.<br><br>Dude: ... Yeah, and then they started *humping* eachother in those costumes.<br>Me: Well, it was a TV show. Do you actully know any furs?<br>Dude: Nope. <br>Me, grinning and enjoying the irony: That's really funny, because I am one.<br>Dude: *silence, combination of shock and horror*<br>Me: Ok, now tell me, when you watch football, who do they put on the jumbotron? The guy wearing the Packers shirt, or the crazy fat mother f***** painted gold and green?<br>Dude: Um.. so not all furries are crazy?<br>Me: Mostly."<br><br>TV Guide: "The writers at CSI have come up with some strange and kinky cases to investigate in the past (think the scuba diver in a tree or Lady Heather). But in this truly bizarre episode they've outdone themselves,which makes you wonder: do they have vivid imaginations or does stuff like this really happen?"<br><br>man, i can find everything that was ever said about the espisode, but not the video :\

I have a lot of friends who are otaku, so when they ask if I yiff becasue I'm a furry, I tell them, "does every otaku get off to watching hentai or yaoi?" This was probably a bad example, since several of them answred yes. Guys and girls. ::shudder::

Furry and anime are closely related so I'm not surprised.<br>Alot of anime cartoons have furry creatures in them (stupid kids shows).

I think it's funny how there are otaku out there who condemn furries, yet are furry via otaku-ness, and just don't realize it. Irony rules.

They probably know, they just can't admit it because of all the against they've put into it.<br>Anyway, it does seem normal to like your own species than other half 'n' half species doesn't it?<br>What do you expect from the public?<br>It's our nature to pick on the abnormal.

I'm about to use a couple words with heavy baggage, but I do not intend them to be taken as applied to "race". I'd like to be much less specific than that.<br><br>Yes, there is a definite trend to categorize, segregate and otherwise discriminate between what does and does not have a given characteristic. I hazzard it's a result of these things we call brains, but I don't understand why some people treat every difference with life and death importance.<br><br>From a genetic point of view, mutations in protien expression that don't kill an organism or otherwise prevent it from reproducing can sometimes become essential to that organism's survival -- i.e. when a virus or strain of bacteria exploit the (more prevalent) non-mutated protien. In such cases, being "normal" is a very bad thing.

I like being a furry since I don't know anyone else in my school who considers him/her self a furry (in a school of 2,200, that's pretty big). I'm unique (for once)! I know a ton of people who are punk, otaku, goth (sorry to use so many labels), and there are tons of people in each fandom, but I'm the only self-described furry I know in real life. It's one thing that I have to myself. So let's think, I'm furry, a headbanger, a band geek, a nerd, an idiot, and a weirdo all in one (not necissarily in that order). I like that combo.
