I still want to know about my dog/cat question.

Why can you eat chocolate but it would kill my dogs?

These are the mysteries that keep me up at night.

It's kind of hard to miss, given that it's the size of an industrial warehouse, and it's poised betweek the aforementioned Home Depot and Walmart, and next to Ikea and Lowes. The developers must have loved that, but then at least they knew where to find the construction workers when they were late returning from their lunch breaks.

So, what you're saying is that they planned to keep all of the "big box" stores together?

so, hypothetically, if you had a 100 lbs of chocolate, at least THAT you would give to the PEOPLE of New Orleans instead of to animals?

You'll want to check with some of the others, but I think maybe if you lick it every day, it never gets that dirty? You've had microeconomics. Think small marginal costs.

Because dogs are highly sensitive to theobromine and caffeine, and high doses can cause repid heart rate, muscle tremors, seizures and death. Low doses can cause gastrointenstinal upset (vomiting, diarrhea, and/or abdominal pain). But, a fifty pound dog can eat up to about 7.5 oz of milk chocolate without getting its tummy upset and up to a pound without even having an increased heart rate. Apparently actual chocolate poisoning is rare because few dogs will eat enough chocolate to do anything more than upset the tum-tum, but baking chocolate and cocoa are particularly dangerous, so don't leave it hanging around.

So, now that I have relieved your mind of worry, is it that dogs and cats have really strong digestive systems (sounds like not so much), that their shit is not sick-making, or that they just get immunity to whatever is in their shit at a young age, and we don't because we (in modern life) are so hygenic generally?

Where is rimmer when we need him?

One of my dogs has no trouble digesting cat. What's for dinner indeed.

And hey, it was good seeing you yesterday and as promised I can vouch for your smolderingly alluring femaleness. I'm not sure about the hubby though.....(no offence)...honestly, you are really not on his payroll as a beard? NTTAWWT.

My question relating to this is, how is it that dogs and cats (and, I guess, other animals) lick their own asses all the time but don't seem to get violently ill from it?

Two guesses:
[list=1][*]The animals achieve homeostasis, where they've developed special resistance to the particular bacterial populations of their own intestinal tracts through years of ass-licking.[*]Their digestive systems are more resistant to ingested fecal coliform bacteria generally, because when you've evolved to eat entire organisms raw, you've evolved to eat these organisms' intestinal contents raw, too.[/list=1]

I'm helping!

ETA: Kevin Smith sucks balls and you should not claim to learn anything of substance from his movies, because it is most likely wrong. Edward Burns also sucks balls and together they have a little club for directors whose first movie received undeserved critical acclaim but which don't stand up to repeat watching, but then proceeded to make movie after movie and felt free to cast themselves in each one. Both shamelessly play to dumbshit audience loyalty (Smith to potheads; Burns to Irish-Americans and New Yorkers) which continues to work because no one has the courage to say they suck because everyone is afraid they will be told "But 'Clerks' was funny" or "But 'Brothers McMullen' was good" even though neither statement is true, which can be proved by enduring them again for the very first time. If PLF were here he would tell me I'm right. (Hi, Flower!)

if Josh Rouse has ever written a bad song I haven't heard it yet. He does not suck balls, or if he does it's in a tender and loving way within the context of a committed relationship founded on mutual respect and there is NAWWT.

But my dog wouldn't sit through Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, so we have other strengths as a specie.


Greta van Susteren did a story about my mentor's kid in the lake. I missed it, but Greta apparently is pushing the foul play angle. Anyone see it?
