Wait til she hears about the white supremacy behind it!

Today, my girlfriend of eight years explained to me that the Egyptian pyramids were built by aliens from Mars. I have a B.S. in Biology and an M.S. in Anthropology, and I'm working on my Ph.D. She thinks I'm an irrational idiot for telling her she's wrong. FML

Why would ANYONE think the pyramids were built by aliens from Mars?

I have a feeling your girlfriend has been watching too much Stargate..

I don't know why everyone thinks the OP's girlfriend is crazy. No one knows exactly how the pyramids were built, there are only theories. So, yes, while the OP has an outstanding academic resume, he doesn't know any more than his girlfriend does. It's just as possible that an alien race built them, than it is possible that hundreds of thousands of workers cut and carried (or rolled, towed, etc.) stone-bricks weighing several tons and aligned them with almost laser-point precision.

waffle houses... !! lol! you're briljant!

Fail. Aliens did not build them. There is documentation that the Pharoahs of Old Kingdom of Egypt had them constructed, and THEY WEREN'T THAT HARD TO BUILD. Just look at the temples of the Greek and Roman Empires - those were incredibly precisely constructed without the use of laser technology, or even any sort of technology more advanced than what the Egyptians had. I'm an anthropology major and I can promise you that IF I felt like wasting my time, I could send you tens of articles that cite specific evidence that proves that it was JUST PLAIN OLD HUMANITY THAT BUILT THE PYRAMIDS so don't even begin with that "we don't know, it could have been aliens" b*llsh!t. Take your uneducated "open-minded" self and go be ignorant somewhere else.

Yeah, but how do you explain the Waffle Houses? Look, man, lighten up, I'm just kidding. Does your Anthropology Department offer a colloquium on Humor? Let me explain "the funny" to you: you see the OP's girlfriend said the pyramids were built by aliens from Mars, but we've sent rovers and explorers to Mars and we've seen it close enough to be quite sure that there have never been adavnced civilizations there. So, I throw in this mysterious planet and their mysterious inhabitants that some nutters are squawking about these days to "out-crazy" the OP's girlfriend. It's a classic misdirection. When I whipped out my advanced degree, you were expecting me to state the standard scientific view with authority. But, instead, I said stuff that was bat-shit crazier than the girlfriend, and even said that I learned it during my advanced studies. You see how that switcheroo could be considered quite droll and amusing. And now is the time for the hilarity to commence!

Hahahaha - you're a "proud liberal" and accuse someone with education of being a pig just for being right? Wow.

Hold on, hold on, hold on. I think I missed something. When did "my girlfriend thinks aliens built the pyramids" become "get back in the kitchen woman"? Someone please explain this to me; I don't want to accidentally become a chauvinistic pig because I told a woman what time it was or something.

Well, obviously, Saying "My gf thinks aliens built the pyramids" is clearly saying she knows nothing about anything, and she needs to start working on dinner so its at the table in time.

proud_liberal.... I'm confused, you mean the gf wasn't in the kitchen cooking or cleaning when they had this conversation? what the hell was she doing? thinking she had the right to do anything else? no wonder she was confused, he let her have a little freedom and her brain couldnt handle it

#40, What the **** does that have to do with anything the OP said ?!

Just because you have a BS and an MS doesn't mean you know everything. If you can't humor your girlfriend and at least accept the fact that she may be right (probably not but maybe) then you probably shouldn't be with her.

No he doesn't know everything, but having an MS in Anth means he's probably taken at least one archaeology course. In my "intro to archaeology" course we did some extensive talking on how people think many historical things were built by aliens and all of the evidence pointing to the contrary. If his girlfriend said that Jesus spoke to her and he said grape gatorade is evil and is the father of hitler, hence why donald duck doesn't wear pants should OP humor her with that as well. I mean It's possible, isn't it? Not likely but who are we to disprove it? Where would it end for the poor OP if he accepted the aliens theory?

SO AGREE, #49. All of the stupid people out there who are saying "humor her, she might be right" need to make sure never ever ever to procreate.

you should have just given her that one man, easier than arguing with her and now realizing she just maybe on the wrong side of kookiness...

I like how she knows specificaly that it's mars

8 years? Seriously? Have you two not done much talking in that time, or does she have some kind of degenerative disorder that's causing her to become stupider as time goes by? Flee, man. Flee.

The egyptian pyramids were built by... The egyptians omfg :O Dump your girlfriend. I would vomit if I found out my boyfriend was as ignorant as that. That's like saying we didn't evolve. Srsly same level of ignorance. FYL for having a girlfriend who has been able to hide her ignorance level so well as to lead you on for 8 years. You're in so deep... idk if you'd break up with her over this...maybe she thinks the same thing and thinks it's okay to be a dumbass now : < Good luck OP.

Today, my girlfriend of 8 years attempted to explain to me how the Egyptian pyramids were built by aliens from Mars. I have a BS in Biology and a MS in Anthropology and I am working on my Phd and she thinks I am being an irrational idiot for telling her she is wrong. FML when you said "girlfriend of 8 years", i'm pretty sure you mean she's 8 years old.
