Car vs Dog - Winner (ding ding ding) the CAR!

Until Lassie can get me back and forth to work, get the kids back and forth to school, pickup the groceries, get the dry cleaning, etc etc - it's no contest.

Besides, my car doesn't take a dump on the carpet, eat it's own vomit, park on the furniture, or hump your leg when you come to visit.

Plus, dogs are self replacing, there's always one (or ten) waiting in the wings. Cars aren't so easy to replace.

Just what Officer McChubby needs - the munchies.

Spelling/Grammar Nazi's - for them, it's not a hobby, it's a pathological obsession (or perhaps they were dropped on their noggins when they were small).

That would make the coolest pet EVER!!!

Assuming of course they could find some viable DNA and go Jurassic Park on it.

China copying someone else's IP?

Wow, that's so very (not) hard to believe.

That article has Dumb (the senders) and Dumber (the restaurant owners) written all over it.

"taste drive" - by sampling some edible film that has a near facsimile of the taste of the actually product.

Yeah, that's way better (and probably costs the vendor 10x as much) as just giving a %50 off coupon so that they CAN TASTE THE REAL PRODUCT.

I'm guessing this "idea" is brought to us fine consumers by the same guy who thought "Pop Up" ad's on the web was a good idea.

What's next, a ad for laundry detergent that has a swatch of clean cloth in it? See how clean YOUR clothes could be!

Are people that stupid to fall for this crap?

"but for kids at that age, it’s a clever experiment that teaches them quite a bit on numerous levels."

Kid's that age??? The kid is 15, not 5. When I was 15 I designed and built my own working Gas Chromatograph (with both a FID and TCD), not train fish to swim to food.

Sucks that public education in Australia is no better then it is here in the States.

@vandoo
You're confusing people who use credit/debit cards for purchases with the morons who writes cheques.

Unless the shop is so behind the times not to have a automatic card reader, I can swipe my card and enter my pin way (WAY) before you can untie the knot on your little cash stash bag and fish around for that nickel and three pennies because we all know you cash freaks would hate to speed things up and just pay with a twenty and get change back.

Can't go wrong by singing the Classics.

No, they're just making better use of a already crowded resource (i.e. the EM Spectrum). For the few Luddites still using rabbit ears, welcome to the 21st century.

That was about 9:59 too long.

Maybe it's just a "ghost" of an egg (you know those brit's and their ghost stories).

Thanks for clearing that up, I meant to say...

"A fax machine...what century are they living in?".
