My dog has never shown any interest in any 2D image, including his own reflection. I've tried to introduce him to Star Trek, but without success. I'll love him anyway.

Have you ever been hanging around your workshop and thought to yourself “Gee, I sure wish I could launch circular saw blades at high speed, preferably from a crossbow with an awesome laser sight”?

It's like you're reading my mind!

“This scenario isn’t the Prisoner’s Dilemma, but it’s similar.”

Why not just call it what it is? The chicken game (or hawk-dove game)?


That would require extra research -- and more than I have time for.

One of my favorite Cracked articles put it like this:

On one occasion, he challenged a man named Charles Dickinson to a duel, (the reason behind it wasn't important, not to us and certainly not to Jackson), and Jackson was even kind enough to give Dickinson the first shot. We're gonna go ahead and repeat that: In a duel with pistols, Jackson politely volunteers to be shot at first. Dickinson happily obliged and shot Jackson, who proceeded to shake it off like it was a bee sting. When Jackson returned the favor, Dickinson was not so lucky, and that's why his face isn't on the twenty. The bullet, by the by, remained in Jackson's body for 19 years because, we assume, Jackson knew that time spent removing the bullets would just fall under the general category of "time not dueling," Jackson's least favorite category.

This looks like a setup and pure animal cruelty!

The notes at the YouTube video link say:

The video was shot entirely fortuitously. The frog is OK. There is no nails, no glue, animal abuse, etc. Later, she jumped off the bench and galloped away to the water.
