i don't much think dialyn likes me. i never tortured anything...except my husbands. those were some statistics on well...actually things you could do wrong with pets. like...we bought a bunny. we read bunny books beforehand, and, spoke to other bunny moms...we found out that you should NEVER feed a rabbit cabbage....because of the fart deficiency. then, there was a heat wave, one year, in the mid west....alot of chickens died, by EXPLODING...i was curious as to why, and, so were my children....sooo, a bit more research was in order. they actually did not die of the heat, per se..but, from fermenting grains in their bodies, caused by the unusually high temperatures. if they could have farted, they might have survived. actually, the parrot and the cauliflower was an horrendous experiment. he loves raw cauliflower, and sleeps next to my bed. i made some tempura, and some of it was cauliflower. we gave him the raw "good" stuff. omg....what a night of horrendous birdie blasts...i still giggle when i think of that one. dialyn...you work in a library, for pity sake. and, you really don't have little stupid facts, like this floating around in your head? perhaps you should read a bit, as well. and, you don't have to shut your eyes. trust me...you won't have to see me nekkid in this lifetime.
