Pssh. Stupid photobucket users taking down their gifs. Never should have trusted that site, anyway.0 -
It's too bad some people don't believe science because it's cool
I've been staring at this cheetah for so long, I don't even remember what this thread was about.
LOL I'm with you on this one. I actually remember the National Geography episode on which this was featured. So fascinating!! For the record (I think), that impala got away. Cheetahs (and tigers and all other cats) expend SO MUCH energy within seconds with that sprint to a point that they almost starve to death.0 -

Your results have been rejected for the following reason:
Experimental design does not match stated project.
Suggested revision:
Change project statement to accurately reflect the experiment performed. Example: "Post a condescending comment directly criticizing the behavior of others and instruct them on how to act differently in the future."

As I said - I love gifs...
Am I the only one mesmerized by this thing?!?!?!0 -

No they can't starve to death because starvation mode makes them hold on to all their fat

Damn, I missed the science. I love the science.0 -
Extra credit for pineapples and cats.
New research project:
1. Get pineapple after work
2. Cut pineapple into a cat helmet
3. Attempt to put pineapple on cat's head
Projected outcome:
An ER visit with face, arms and hands scratched to pieces by normally docile cat who has too much self-respect to wear fruit.0 -

You do realize that your opinion is what is determining the outcome.
Not only that, but her presentation and the overall topic. Telling people to "check themselves" (so to speak) is pretty aggressive.
ETA: But now this thread could be deemed one created to purposefully incite drama within the community. Way to go OP.0 -

Part 2 of experiment:
Get pineapple
Cut pineapple into a cat helmet
Put pineapple where cat cannot get it, such as in a shoebox on the top shelf of closet.
Projected outcome:
Cat will succeed in sticking head in pineapple.0 -

lol not so true for cats...but at the end they would die if they've gone too long without food or don't have enough energy to chase after another prey. According to NG, the dead cats turn into vulture food.0 -
You know, the more I try to answer questions on these forums the less desire I have to do it, too.
But it's mostly because I'm tired of being called a mean, hostile, ignorant, negative, bully, troll.
Every single helpful poster on these forums is labeled as a mean person eventually.
So keep fighting the good fight and get us mean people off of your boards.
I'll be looking for a good plateau thread to post in. There should be 80 or 90 of them to choose from by now.

PS I do check my attitude btw...imagine if I didn't0 -
