LUCKY?!?!?! Scoring 5 unanswered goals in ONE period is LUCKY?!?!

I'll be watchin' the shark tank tonight...... and I expect to see a bunch of upside-down over-grown dolphins floatin' on their backs!.... after all..... when oil floods a shark tank, the sharks choke!

Agreed Don.   Part of what makes this amazing is the fact that he doesn't look like a dancer, or artsy type person at all.  Can you imagine a casually dressed, average joe speaker just breaking into that rendition ?   That's what's amazing !  The contrast.

I'm curious if a guy with a dancer's physique in leotards did that same skit if the skill could've been much better, or if the same skit might've appeared more artistic as opposed to parody material. or even if he didn't dress down as he had, if even his upper body wouldn't have appeared much more muscular. So his act would've been less amazing.  The guy MUST be in amazing shape to do what he did.  That wasn't a "hack" performance by any means.

I used to know a lady named Cherry! And she was a doll! She was the secretary at the nursing home my mom worked at!

I can TOTALLY see "Kiwi" being a name soon! Maybe Tom and Katie's second?

In fact I just rewatched it.  I'm sure he's studied mime, might've been a gymnast when younger, and danced somewhere along the line.  For those of you that have studied dance, or mime watch some of his moves during Mr. Roboto, the neck and headwork in "walk like an egyption", The shuffle he does with his legs where he looks as though he's floating sideways across the stage and back to center stage during "Can't touch this", and during that Irish type Jig, his legwork.. Also the last several minutes.... He does stuff that is pretty technically "Jazz" dancing.  At least to me it appears he's had some training, and isn't just playing around

Cats are more sensitive than dogs to the adverse side effects of a variety of drugs (eg, aspirin, digoxin, selected antiarrhythmics), and extra precautions must be taken when these drugs are used in cats.

Question:  

Is chocolate *toxic* to dogs, or this an urban legend ?

Answer:

Chocolate, tea, coffee, cola:

It is not chocolate itself that is poisonous to dogs, it is the theobromine, a naturally occuring compound found in chocolate. Theobromine causes different reactions to different dogs: dogs with health problems, especially epilepsy, are more affected by theobromine than healthy dogs. Theobromine can trigger epileptic seizures in dogs prone to or at risk of epilepsy. The size of the dog will also be a major factor: the smaller the dog, the more affected it is by the same amount than a larger dog. Therefore, toxicity is described on a mg/Kg basis.

Furthermore, theobromine can cause cardiac irregularity, especially if the dog becomes excited. Cardiac arythmia can precipitate a myocardial infarct which can kill the dog.

Theobromine also irritates the GI tract and in some dogs can cause internal bleeding which in some cases kills them a day or so later.

Theobromine is also present in differing amounts in different kinds of chocolate. milk chocolate has 44-66 mg/oz, dark chocolate 450 mg/oz and baking/bitter chocolate or cocoa powder varies as much as 150-600 mg/oz. How much chocolate a dog can survive depends on its weight (and other unknown circumstances). Under 200 mg theobromine per kg body weight no deaths have been observed.

Theobromine will stay in the bloodstream between 14 and 20 hours. It goes back into the bloodstream through the stomach lining and takes a long time for the body to filter out. Because theobromine is eliminated through the liver rather than through the kidneys, it takes a long time to eliminate it.

Within two hours of ingestion, try inducing vomiting unless your dog is markedly stimulated, comatose, or has lost the gag reflex. If your dog has eaten a considerable amount of chocolate, or displays any of the above symptoms, take it to the vet without delay.

In the absence of major symptoms, administer activated charcoal. The unabsorbed theobromine will chemically bond to this and be eliminated in the feces. In pinch, burnt (as in thoroughly burnt, crumbling in hand) toast will do.

Not many people now of this fact, until thier dog got sick. Did you just found it out by googleing it?

And Panadol a common medication for pain and fever is also toxic to dogs

I went into the Urban Legend site Jian,  and it was a question and answer form area...  So I figured I'd post some of this stuff.... ..


Some things naturally were legends,  but these are true... I guess cat's livers don't break down certain things well...

Now, is fish toxic to dogs or is it just the small bones that cause problems?  I heard something about this as a kid.

I got a "new" legend for you guys....... and pray this isn't the post that gets this thread yanked.  :shock:  :shock:

It's a valid email I received.....  LOL ...... might even be true, who knows::


In Pharmacology, all drugs have two names, a trade name and a generic
name. For example, the trade name for Tylenol also has a generic name of
Acetaminophen. Aleve is also called Naproxen. Amoxil is also called
Amoxicillin and Advil is also called Ibuprofen.

The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra. After careful
consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced
that it has settled on the generic name of Mycoxafloppin. Also
considered were Mycoxafallin, Mydixadrupin, Mydixarizin, Dixafix and
of course, Ibepokin.

Pfizer Corp. announced today that Viagra will soon be available in
liquid form, and will be marketed by Pepsi Cola as a power
beverage suitable for use as a mixer. It will now be possible for a
man to literally "pour himself a stiff one".

Obviously we can no longer call this a soft drink, and it gives new
meaning to the names of "cocktails", "highballs" and just a good
old-fashioned "stiff drink". Pepsi will market the new concoction
by the name of: MOUNT & DO

Thought of the day: There is more being spent on breast implants
and Viagra today than on Alzheimer's research. This means that
by 2040, there should be a large elderly population with perky
b**bs and huge erec***s and absolutely no recollection
of what to do with them.

I wouldn't touch that one with a ten foot pole.  But someone taking Mycoxafloppin
might be able to.  Now I don't have Alzheimer's, at least I don't think I do, what do you do with them anyway? I forget......you know with typing on a keyboard all day.

Don,  I'm not sure about toxicity of fish to dogs,  If fish is toxic, I find  that interesting. However depending on where the dog catches a fish, I suppose it's also quite likely, depending on what is in the water the fish comes out've.  What I do know about fish is that it is LOADED with tiny sharp bones that get caught in a smaller animals throat (even our own throat)... IE... Ever eat white fish ?  The toughest part of White fish is getting rid of those bones.... My guess is an animal can easily choke on fishbones..  Jian would likely know about toxicity..  I could google it, but I'm really tired and lazy now

When I was a kid, we had 2 dogs..... a big shepard, and a little chiwahwa.... and my sis came home from fishing the coast with her b/f... and gave them the fish to eat. It was not from a pond or lake, but of the sea water variety (no...... I don't recall what kind) Anyhow, the big dog was sick (oops.... almost said "sicker than a dog" hahaha)... for about a week, and the little dog died. My dad ranted and raved and told my sis that you NEVER give a dog fish to eat. I was too young to recall the "why's" or exact details... but I recall when it happened. So, there must be some kind of merit to that.

It'd be funny if the pharmaceutical companies had more of a SOH, and actually considered a few of those names.  Might even put an end to some of the Political correctness.  The following is fact, no urban legend.  I never understood how CVS (corporate in Rhode Island) got away with marketing mens underwear under the name "Big Yank". Pretty wild in my opinion, That's hardly subtle.

my dog can't handle fish.  he throws up if he eats it.  funny thing is, if it's raw like when i'm fishing, he LOVES to carry the fish around in his mouth before i clean it!

Not sure if it's the fish itself, type of fish, or parasites, and/ or pollutants in the water that will affect a smaller animal yet not our own immune system. I know Salmon is supposedly dangerous, yet not sure why, not even sure that's the actual fish that is deadly to dogs (as opposed to what the fish species is a carrier of).

Need to check out Pet's & Vet's site..

I feed my dogs with fish, bones removed off course. But I will not give my dogs chocolate.
