Er…what??
beneath that fuzzy exterior lurks a …
One has eyes on sides of head=food, the other has binocular vision=eater of food.
so yer not bettin’ on the rabbit?
So that’s what that thing is!
Well, that’s what I was thinking. But Lambchop’s been given the sight to see things that I am apparently blind to in this case. Or one of us has better recreational substances. 
one other question which i don’t know the answer to
are human beings the only creature not to reject their offspring on the basis of malformity - i had a cat once who mated with her brother or at least that’s what we think happened, and her kittens came out looking deformed and weak - she did not try to look after them and they all died - people on the other hand have the choice to love and cherish their offspring when they’re born with down’s syndrome, cerebral palsy or whatever - are we unique in this regard?
I consider rack of lamb on the grill a recreational substance. Notice the eye placement on sheep?
No humans aren’t the only ones but we are the most successful at keeping our genetic mistakes alive. BTW single cat litters, from cats who are not monitored, often have multiple male donors. The possible reasons for a litter failure are legion, but a sibling mating is unlikely to be the cause.
Well, to my knowledge we are the only species that pretty routinely kills female children.
50,000,000 missing girls in India alone.
Genetic ‘mistakes’ are in the eye of the beholder, dontcha know.
I agree with Mute.
I also find it interesting that emotional intimacy increases the feeling of physical attractiveness. There is nothing more beautiful than the face of someone I love, whether it’s my spouse, children, or close friends. When I first met my future spouse, I didn’t think “what a beautiful face.” Now I look at his face (probably even less “objectively beautiful” now, if there is such a thing) and it’s very attractive to me. When I didn’t really know him, I looked at his face and just saw his face. Now I look his face and I see HIM. (insert mushy-romantic emoticon)

This is now veering into the area of social policy / politics, medical issues, and religious belief. Which makes it a perfect topic for the other board, not here. Thanks.
I can return this thread to the straight and narrow!
You have a cat.
Gee Lambchop, did your Mom not teach you to be polite to other people? There was really no reason to point out that Nano had a cat other than to rub salt in the wound.
That’s nice. When you do it I’m sure we’ll know. Until then and meanwhile, let us bend our thought to the next point of business:
However fascinating the Frankensteinian monsterliness of hastily stitched-together strangers’ cadaver parts may be to the gawking passerby, such a similarly assembled fell swoop of quantum misreason cannot be allowed to see the light of day, figuratively lolling about in its figurative Barcalounger as it figuratively flips through the figurative remote with its Golem-like and Cheetos-tinted fingers, without challenge. All else aside, for the record my “Er…what??” is patently not your “Er…what??”. Mark this. And how do I know? Well, who better? And I will charitably presume that you have not tried to hook my words by the nose intentionally, bless your heart. Now, how about tea and a cookie?
You people just don’t get it. I keep her around in case I have to eat her. The cat, that is.
Funny, that’s what the cat says about you.
Talking to cats again are you Jim?
He’s hep.
We have an understanding, the cat and I.
so yer cat is just winding up Jim?
or why else is da cat chattin’ up Jim
