That's why I have cats.

P9, how long before "chat"? :)

Why did this get moved to chat so quickly? Seems like a worthwhile science story.

It IS a great article. But lately I've been going to Gen Int a lot more than I used to and finding great posts there. Maybe that is their point.

You are a VERY sick puppy.... And I say that in the kindest possible way. LOL.

Most of the cooks in the bistros on Pennsylvania Avenue, a few blocks from the Capitol, are Vietnamese. As a result, you hear very little dog barking in that neighborhood after 5 p.m. each day. Coincidence? You be the judge. (And never order BBQ on Capitol Hill, just to be on the safe side.)

Lived in Seoul for a year and found the lack of dogs, cats, squirrels, animals-of-any-sort quite remarkable.

I went downstairs to feed the bears, and "refreshed" this thread and sure enough your ass has been moved to "chat'. LOL.

True story:

I went to a resteraunt on business and asked my translator to order for me. She told me that the special was dog. I asked her to order some other special. I never trusted food that was sitting around there -the climate is close to Siberia, so refrigerators are not great -they pickle everything. So she tells me the other special was fresh fish. The fish comes, and it is a gigantic broiled striped bass HEAD! Just the head. Complete with eyeballs. Traditionally, the Koreans sent the rest of the fish to Japan and ate the parts the Japanese didn't want. Their delicacies were developed in this fashion.
