Simple Lessons Dogs Teach Us About Life

(Image Link)

Dogs may seem like simpleminded creatures when compared to cats, but that's just an illusion because their minds are always working out ways to get food, get pets and get their friends to play with them.

That's why they make great life coaches, because a dog's life is full of fun, good food and lots of leisure time, and who couldn't use extra servings of all three in their lives?

Dogs can teach us the basics, like you are what you eat

(Image Link)

Or more advanced life lessons, like how to keep your cool while sitting in rush hour traffic

(Image Link)

And if you learn the way of the dog the world will be your oyster

Dogs have a remarkable knack for going with the flow, swinging along through life without a care in the world

(Image Link)

And when they should be freaking out they somehow manage to keep their cool

(Image Link)

Maybe it's because they've figured out how to comfort themselves in times of stress

(Image Link)

Or maybe it's because their buddies keep them from flipping out

(Image Link)

We may never know the secret to canine confidence

(Image Link)

But follow their example and you'll feel more confident, and therefore more attractive

(Image Link)

Confidence begins where stress ends, so stop and smell the flowers every once in a while

(Image Link)

If you're still not relaxed enough to smile have a friend lend you a hand or two

(Image Link)

And if you can't be as stress free as a squirrel then fake it

(Image Link)

When it comes to making big decisions try not to get in over your head

(Image Link)

Hold yourself accountable and learn from your mistakes

(Image Link)

Eagerly dive in to the next dilemma, so you can learn how to overcome any obstacle life throws your way

(Image Link)

And don't be afraid to humiliate yourself to make somebody else smile

(Image Link)

To be well received you must take a bath every once in a while (even though they suck)

(Image Link)

Always act your age, but don't calculate your age in dog years or you may have a heart attack

(Image Link)

Be proud of who you are and your individual sense of style

(Image Link)

Don't worry about vicious rumors people spread about you

(Image Link)

And you'll go from being the person who is always sniffing butts through the fence

(Image Link)

To the well liked, and well groomed, toast of the town!

(Image Link)

If you ever lose confidence and find yourself searching for some self-help advice don't go down to the bookstore- look to your dog and see what lessons that wise little creature can teach you for a mere biscuit or two.

But don't listen to them about eating cat poop, because that's disgusting.

The Matrix: It does bother me why the machines did not build space solar panels. But the point about Kuru is not fatal to the science. Maybe the machines were capable of pre-screening and/or genetically modifying human cells to prevent all forms of genetically transmitted disease. Or in making their special blend of soylent green, would filter out prions that cause kuru, mad cow, etc.

Humans are indeed inefficient energy producers, but who is to say that humans submerged in soylent goo, would not shut down or severely atrophy some of their organs (lungs for example) thus redirecting the energy wasted there for machine consumption. Perhaps the methane produced by the intestines (fart) could be harvested. Human bodies could be used to culture certain extremophiles that could produce other kinds of energy sources.

No, I am not Dr Mengele. But if the inevitable happens, I for one welcome our new machine overlords.

Just need to watch The Animatrix and humans as a power source makes sense. The Second Renaissance Parts I & II tell the story of how robots evolve AI, humans continue to oppress, robots revolt, robots win the war and take revenge on humans by making them servants to the robots. It was never about efficiency.

Evidently the original plan was to have the machines using the humans' brains to enhance computation power, which makes a lot more sense, but it got nixed by executive meddling.

In the matrix, they combined human batteries with "a form of fusion". Human batteries would end up being a net loss for energy. Not sure if I agree with the space solar panels. Getting to space is a huge achievement, and how do you get the energy back to the surface? Nobody took this into consideration.
