I think I just figured out what Kerbals are!!!

[leptoon]

Well, after much research and lurking about the forums, and after discovering where Squad is based, I think I've finally determined, once and for all, what Kerbals are made of. Worm guts. (pardon all the damn commas. My god...)

Kerbals are the worm from the tequila bottle! It all makes sense now...

[Kosmo-not]

I don't recall worms being green.

[Mercy]

Kerbals are Kerbals, Kerbals = Green Short Guys.

We already know what they are. See above.

[leptoon]

I don't recall worms being green.

Okay, for popular reference I used the word tequila. But strictly speaking, the worm would be in a bottle of agave mescal, which is sometimes green. Worms are often depicted in cartoons as being green, even though the majority of them aren't.

Okay, I've drank tequila (hell, I've eaten the worm before), but if someone ever handed me a bottle with an invertebrate that size in it, I honestly think it'd be the first drink I've ever turned down. Ugh...

EDIT: Sorry, I was distracted by the pic... Your unintentional (I'm assuming) racial slur aside, I still fail to see any form of logic in your reasoning...

This topic has worms.

[RocketPilot573]

Umm... Ahhhh... WHAT?

[Wjolcz]

If this has alcohol in it, I will drink it!

[Accelerando]

I'd hit that bottle like a mass driver

[Akinesis]

I don't see the correlation.

And... WTF?!

[AncientAstronaut]

Literally the most useless and ridiculous thread I've seen in a long time.

[Kosmo-not]

That doesn't look like a worm at all. It looks more like a caterpillar. I hereby declare this to be a fail thread.

[ouion]

That's...EWWWWWWWWW I hereby vow to Jeb i will never touch a flask of tequila, mescal or whatever comes with a dead larva inside.

1. do you worship jeb or you idolize him?

2.so kerbals evolve from worms? now that makes huge sense and they recently learn to walk.

[Cheebsta]

It's fairly clear that Kerbals have evolved from the remains of those cheap neon erasers that snap off the pencil the first time you try and use them.

[crasher925]

or slightly degenerate irkens

without the antenna and red eyes. perhaps a decent of the same life form that started the irkens...

[kahlzun]

I say salamanders. You've just got to turn the graphics settings really high, and they look like this:

Note: you cannot actually get this in game, this is photoshopped

[that1guy]

Okay, I would like to add my 2 cents... I was at kerbalkon, and I remember Harv talking about this... He designed them to be silly creatures with a nonsensical name. He wanted them to be unique, but bipedal with 2arms and hands... So the definitive answer to what kerbals are is the product of the imagination of HarvesteR.... Yup, that was about 2cents of opinion

[royalkingofgames]

The Vulcan science ministry has concluded they are genetically modified humans from the 1990s that have evolved while drifting for millenniums.
