Did you know? Fans for circulating the air actually slowly heat the room! Don't be fooled by temporary relief, moving air causes friction, which over time subtly raises the temperature. Want to stay cool this summer? Try turning off your fans, and save money on electricity to boot!

They also cause death if you're asian just another good one

Somewhere, somehow, humans decided that successful human-to-dog relationships would need to parallel the wolf-to-wolf relationships demonstrated within the wolf pack. After all, if dogs are descended from wolves doesn't it make sense that dogs would maintain the same 'pack' hierarchy and social order as their ancestors?

For decades that was certainly the popular belief - so dog training methods and techniques were developed based on the belief system that humans must hold the 'alpha' status and be 'dominant' over the family dog in order to keep it in line.

Now it's 2012, and it has been over ten years since the alpha/dominance wolf pack research and theory was found to be flawed and invalid, yet many dog trainers, veterinarians and others within the canine industry continue to promote and apply the alpha/dominance wolf pack theory to dogs and canine behaviour in general.

According to recent scientific research a human female can conceive from a dog, but only in anime.

Humans are encouraged to put great store in the dog as a companion, but that is because of our modern personal isolation and our sick ecology. There are still many societies in the world that demonstrate what more fully mature men think of such a companionship (or neurotic zoophilia) by eating the dog whenever they can.

When children or adult neurotics make substitute people out of their animals they put demands on them that far exceed the animals' capabilities. The human authoritarian control exercised over pets creates an illusion of social adjustment. The animals are expected to fulfill human roles; they are not thought of as species with their own purposes, different from men and deserving honor for their difference. Instead, they are pseudo-totemic fathers, mates, slaves, children, brothers, scapegoats, doormats, and sexual objects.

did you know? if you were to print out the entire human genome it would be over ten trillion pages long ? the story is quite good but there is a bit towards the end and it kind of goes off the rails. by the end of the third act however it gets good again and overall it is a pretty riveting story.

There is a lot of filler that really doesn't add anything to the story. tbqh, you only really need to read the description on the back cover. Or better yet, save yourself some time and just watch the movie.

About 500 million years ago, there was a great proliferation of life on earth. This time period is called the Cambrian Explosion. It was named this due to the fact that many of the organisms that evolved during this time could actually detonate. The Cambrian Explosion was quickly followed by the Cambrian Mass Extinction.
