It probably didn't take "thousand of years of human meddling" to change the wolf into a dog. A Russian scientist managed to alter foxes' behavior to dog-like behavior in just 40 years.

Ivory soap is still on sale today. When I finally realized (at age 58!) that I had sensitive skin, I tried a ton of expensive products, but the thing that never irritates my skin or scalp is plain old Ivory Soap. 99 44/100% pure! So pure, it floats!

But I don't think you really want to know what that other 56/100% is, unless you're already a soapmaker.

Child abuse? The very fact that you'd think such a thing might be child abuse trivializes the real abuse that children suffer every day.

What you don't see is what happened before his statement. Before his statement, he told a lie. Now his statement makes perfect sense, and there's no paradox at all.

I'm with Kev. What a waste of fuel!

Aha!! Now I know what Carol Burnett did after she left television.

I'm not convinced anyone outside the media is interested. I chat with a lot of people during the day, and when something really interests the general public I hear about it. Not a word about Tiger, though.

He should have asked them to certify the check. Then he could have cashed it anywhere. (They have to certify it for free.)

Heinlein should have patented the idea when he had it - then nobody would be able to do it.

I'm 56, and I'm twice as happy. hehe

I wonder if it's a problem with vision. Cats really don't see stationary things all that well. If anything had moved, maybe the cat would have been more interested.

Was there no interesting story behind the theme to 'Friends'? It's got to be as recognizable as 'Cheers' all over the world.

Lou Grant is a Croatian politician now? Jeepers!

Might be lucky - might be the result of radiation.

You can also do this with a large paper clip. Just bend it to look like the top of the outline above, and put the belt into the groove.

It does cut into your finger a bit, though. ;-)
