Interesting Read on Dogs

[Kev]

If too personal I understand, but I am curious how this came about?? Do they survelliance your chats??

Nah it was the neighbours, I liked to leave the curtains open and lights on....

Ha ha ha ha. They caught you looking at porn and servicing yourself and now dont want you speaking to Lefty while doing that...... it makes sense.

Yeah, I was wanking to Lefty wanking to David Haye.

A love triangle that my street wasn't interested in accepting or sharing.

So how old is Lefty? I thought
Youngblood was the only tender ass under 18.

haha we sure got off track here.

Couldn't it have been wanking to animal porn atleast to be somewhat relevant?

That's what Bilbo asked the coppers; "So what's that in dog years ?"

lol you aren't sucking me into that debate. but nice try.

What you don't think crows were just as clever back then?

Of course they were, all animals were cleverer back then, how else do you explain the fact that two of every kind were able to travel from wherever they were in the world to an ark they had never seen?

Animals have always been capable of amazing things, expand your mind youngblood.

First of all, two year olds are retarded-like.....so its not that great to be smarter than them. They can't read maps or run really fast.

Second, a man told me one time that if you cut a crows tongue they can talk. But he said he had one as a child and his dad tried to do this operation when he was drunk and it bled to death. (This guy may have been bullshitting me).

Well Ew ................... On many levels

Getting back to the topic anyway I think we have a very egocentric way of measuring intelligence which puts animals at a disadvantage in the equivalence.

Sure some (i wouldn't assume all) can't read maps but there's a hell of a lot of things animals do that we can't.

I think the pace a two year old runs would be quite outdone by many an animal!

Besides that there's animals that pick up on and interpret pheromones and slight nuances in different smells, sound waves, infra red etc very much better than we do but it'd be unfair to rate our intelligence on something we have less physical capability, motivation or need to learn.

We are trained to use and develop our forms of 'intelligence' and they theirs - lets face it animals are probably way more adaptable when left without resources than most people.

Leave a few people alone in a strange land away from civilization with nothing but the clothes on their back surrounded by foreign plant and animal life and 98 % of the time they'll die within a few weeks. Leave a few animals and you'll get a plague!
