JubilantLankyLad 1,957 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Female cats only go past a certain point in their reproductive cycle if they get banged. If they don't get banged, they cycle quickly and go into heat again within a few weeks. If they do get banged, it'll be months before they go into heat again, regardless of whether or not they actually become pregnant. Since a cat in heat is kind of loud and annoying, breeders have found a way to trick them into going through the longer cycle when they aren't going to be bred anyway. I shit you not, they use electric toothbrushes to diddle the cats. There's nothing weird about that, is there?There's also nothing weird about the fact that I a) don't have a female cat b) am not in vet school c) knew that, is there?

LadyGrey 6 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I was just watching a season 3 episode of Arrested Development, it's the last one with Rita (MR F) in it and at the end she walks across the swimming pool. It just struck me that it probably/might be a reference to "Being There", the Hal Ashby film starring Peter Sellers. Not sure if anyone has seen it, but Sellers plays a simple-minded guy but no one notices and they all think he is an upper-class, educated guy full of conservative wisdom. At the end of the film he walks across the swimming pool.It's not a super well known film, but that can't just be a coincidence. Link to post Share on other sites

vbnautilus 48 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 A cousin of mine broke her leg and had to have surgery on it. She will not be able to put weight on the leg for several months. My mom wrote to me asking what we should send her. To me, this was pretty clear: a robot that serves drinks. Does anyone know where I can get one? I'm sure they must be pretty sophisticated by now since so much work was done in this area in the 1980's. Link to post Share on other sites
Napa_Don 688 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 If we don't it's because scientists like you decided to persue stupid shit like the brain rather than awesome drink serving robots. THANKS A LOT! Link to post Share on other sites

AmScray 355 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 http://fragg.me/video/japanese-woman-robotI hope technology finally perfects this concept before I'm dead.Also, note how the Robot appears more natural and human like since it depicts an Asian... Yet if all things were equal but that robot were made to look like any other race, it would appear unnatural and robotic. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure they must be pretty sophisticated by now since so much work was done in this area in the 1980's.Yes, there was a lot of research done on this topic. In the end, it turned out that it was cheaper to hire immigrants to serve drinks at $5 an hour than to build a robot that could cost thousands. Economics, FTW! Link to post Share on other sites

Roll the Bones 74 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I suppose it depends on if you want to meet a nice guy or get banged.I felt bad about this comment and never had a chance to go back and express correctly what I was trying to say, after realizing the comment came off a tad gruff.Yesterday we had a blizzard and the step-daughter (25) didn't have school so she took the opportunity to "go shopping!" with a couple friends. One I hadn't met was there and they came back and were all trying on clothes around the living room. This new girl was pretty smoking hot and had on low rider jeans and a slutty top, so naturally the conversation in this thread was on my mind.She said, "How do I look?"I said, "You are really pretty". She said, "Tell me something I haven't heard a million times"I said, "You're smart." Link to post Share on other sites
