Perhaps there is a crumb trail to follow?

I was hungry - sorry

Well, some people say that we are all in some way a part of the whole cosmic donut. We exist in the mind of the donut and it in ours, hence the circularity nature of the donut. Others say that donuts can only really exist in a particular time/space unit of being when they are not, in fact, being observed and that the obxervation of the dount then leads to the observer being unable to fully grasp the location of said dount. Still others say the the donuts are there and we have to take it on faith that they exist, any doubting being heresy of the blackest kind.

Personally, I think Am ate them.

Maybe the Yeti helped out with one or two.

What doughnut?

Wetdogeared · 01-15-2010, 04:16 PM

I think someone is hording them.

Do doughnuts have crumbs? I thought that was cookies!

The question should really be:

Q: What's the difference between a bagel and a donut?

Then again, there is the fabled Doughnut Migration that takes place between about the end of December and start of January the following year. During this time the doughnuts, in massed hordes, secretly migrate. This migration is an example of the symbotic relationship between (predominantly) the male of the species homo sapiens in which the doughnuts secretly conceal themselves about the midriff of their symbiont to pass safely to their destination.

This migration has never been filmed, but the BBC has high hopes with several teams seeking to capture this footage for the next major Natural History production "The Life of Cakes", though this is currently mired in bitter academic debate between several very eminent Professors of Taxonomy as to whether or not a doughnut can be classified as a cake and so if this footage (if captured) can be included in this series.

How come holeless Doughnuts are also considered to be part of the Doughnut family??? That is freaking outrageous! Might as well call a muffin a doughnut then. bah, I say.

Good point! Thought a trip via a gingerbread house could be fun though.
