What, really? Source, please?

Hey, thanks for the input, Ubuntu users. What a bright young community you have there.

Cats are thought to be self-domesticated; dogs, domesticated by us. A supposed test to measure your dog's intelligence is to put a towel on its head and see how long it takes the dog to remove it. A smart cat doesn't even let you get near enough to drape the towel over its head. An even smarter cat also gives you a nice scratch to warn you not to try to pull that kind of crap with it again.

Cats can however be trained to do impressive "tricks" just like dogs can. See the numerous youtube videos featuring cats that actually use the (human, porcelain) toilet, and then flush it afterwards. I kid you not.

Personally, I like to think cats are smarter. Their human-like behaviour just seems more mature than a dog's human-like behaviour. A cat is like a young adult, a dog is more like a toddler. Most dogs, if you let them get out the front door, they go barreling down the street and get themselves lost, or run out into traffic and get hit. Cats don't do this.

Also, this might speak more to who has more instinct, or perhaps just better personal hygiene, but it's interesting nonetheless: you don't need to train cats to use the kitty litter box, they do it instinctively.

It makes sense. At first I thought it was a typical nonsense newspaper "scientific study" article ("can bees think? a new study shows that no, they cannot"). But it does make sense, it's a primitive response probably; you have the meat, now you can relax.

Vs 2010 "free" version is so limited it's basically worthless.

Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintery economic climate.

All of which they had stationed outside the burning house. But you're right, money is the most important thing. Fuck common decency, there's money to be had.

To all the morons repeating this logic: Insurance companies.... -->don't save people's lives--. Fire departments: uh, yeah, that's why they fucking exist.

I don't want to live on this planet any more.

Correcting myself again: apparently they themselves DIDN'T censor.. damn this mind-numbing cold.

Correcting myself, apparently they themselves censor flicks, but they did have a policy where they wouldn't accept unrated or nc-17 films. Cronenberg had to do R rated edits of his movies for Blockbuster otherwise they just wouldn't carry them.

Blockbuster censors a lot their videos. Even Criterion Collection films have huge chunks taken right out of them; that to me is just wrong. You can compare pretty much anything by Cronenberg. I stopped renting at Blockbuster when I discovered that a couple decades ago.

I think you meant "show off them ya lyrical skills," brud.

Mod this up.
