Oh, also, before I forget, I want to mention that one time I saw a duck sleeping on a damp piece of concrete, and this was the same day that another duck had to be "escorted off campus" for attacking a student at the bus stop. Ducks are good. It is OK to duck.

Place I worked years ago had four little enclosed gardens in the main building (i.e. access only via the air or the building itself). Every year ducks would nest in them. Two of the gardens had ponds; security and other staff would put water into the other two gardens for the ducks. The other thing they did each year was once the ducklings were big enough, they'd put tarps down the corridors and herd the ducks from the gardens with no ponds to the ones with ponds.

Someone, somewhere designed, patented, and manufactured that machine with the sole purpose and directive of making sure a cow was thoroughly scratched to the point of satisfaction and that's a thought I'm happy to live with.

According to the company website the cows activate the machine themselves, and on average each cow will use it 6 times a day.

Story from my Dad.

Many many years ago when my brother was little (and I didn't exist yet), my brother met a pet mynah bird and was told that it talked. So he walked up to it and asked, "What's it like being a bird?"

The thing that bothers me about sphinxes is - is that what all cats look like under the fur, or are Sphinx extra baggy?

Cats have very loose skin and their spines kinda 'float' to let them assume many shapes, so when they're bunched up they're super baggy.

I knew about the loose skin, I just wondered if Sphinx were extra baggy is all.

Ranch dogs are generally smart enough to stay away from the pulverizer zone behind a horse

At the place I ride there's a couple of dogs that potter around the yard, but they don't bother the horses, and they don't run after horses.

It's also a minor moment of awesome for London and the Thames - 40 years ago the river was basically devoid of multicellular life, and had been for several centuries. Once they started to properly clean it up, everything from eels to salmon repopulated within years, and now is lively enough to apparently support a fair colony of seals up at The Nore, which is where Sammy probably originated.

Also supports two or three different colonies of sea horses.

Well, that helped me realize I like rabbits to have long, upward-pointing ears, rather than floppy or short ones. Nothing below 5 out of 10, though.

There were few that had quite shortened faces that I voted down on. Plus something that I'm not sure was a rabbit at all, because I couldn't make out any features. Put me in the standup ears and more like a wild-rabbit category too.

I've seen a cat react like that after eating a roach its owner left somewhere though.

By roach, I meant the last of a joint. Not, like, an insect.

In India we had a cat that ended permanently stoned after it ate a large chunk of hash brownie.

Unfortunately, a lot of people buy or adopt the dog first, then pay for them to go to service dog training. So someone in a wheelchair may be stuck with hyperhund, or need to find him a different home.

"Bad news, your service dog is a musclehead that loves to bite wheelchairs, but drat is he good at pulling"

I thought people generally approached organisations that provide service animals to get a ready trained one? That's how it works in the UK I think.

I like Robin's videos because they're always exactly what the title says they are. "Kittens come out of a hole, eat food, and mew."

And that's exactly what you get.
