I fell in love with a Video Nasty

My cats yawn after I yawn. They have empathy for me.

I read once years ago that zoologists believe "contagious yawning" is a sign of high functioning social instincts in animals. Which then led to the query of if giant tortoises are social animals as they tend to gather in the same areas. So they managed to train a tortoise to yawn on command, then they stuck him in a group and repeatedly gave him the command. Turns out tortoises don't give a gently caress how each other feels.

Perhaps the tortoises are simply empathic enough to distinguish between fake and real yawning.

A long time ago there was someone on these very fora who could suck his own dick, and he said something along the lines of "It's not as great as you think; it feels less like having your dick sucked, and more like sucking a dick". I feel like there's a lot of wisdom hiding in that.

Judging by the horse ears and tails and that one of them is wearing a bridle on her head, it's likely the "racing horses are anime girls" show airing this season.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Once you've seen a pair of dogs loving, it's no big deal anymore.

It's not like they are very creative. In fact, the are fairly well known for only doing one position.

Not a joke: if you watch two dogs mating, they will go from doggy style to bum-to-bum.
