C'mon now- how did they really get that shot? Did the dog really eat his homework- er, telephone company work? I've seen dogs eat through some odd things. My cousin's old dog used to like to chew on aluminum. He would be bleeding a little from the corners of his mouth but would keep on chewing until you took it away from him. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
sunrat 2,370 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I'm most of the way through "Tiger King" and spotted this in a comment on The Register, seems pertinent: Quote People will often make the case, “We can’t be that stupid, or we would have been evolutionarily wiped out as a species a long time ago.” I don’t agree. I find myself saying, “Well, no. Gee, all you need to do is be far enough along to be able to get three square meals or to solve the calorie problem long enough so that you can reproduce. And then, that’s it. You don’t need a lot of smarts. You don’t have to do tensor calculus. You don’t have to do quantum physics to be able to survive to the point where you can reproduce.” One could argue that evolution suggests we’re not idiots, but I would say, “Well, no. Evolution just makes sure we’re not blithering idiots. But, we could be idiots in a lot of different ways and still make it through the day.” 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I'd say Alfred Hitchcock would have made an even better version of this, but ol' Alfred is not around these days. Lucky him!
