These are things that interest and fascinate me. It's amazing how far we've come in such a short time especially in the last 100 years...

Technology is compounding in on itself and growing exponentially.

I just finished my World Archaeology class, and a line in my book really made me stop and ponder....

"65 million years ago, dinosaurs went extinct. 2.6 MYA we found the first stone tools. 800,000 years ago was the first evidence for fire. The Pyramids were built 2,625 BC. It took millions of years to get from the first signs of bipedal evolution to fire, and only a few thousand to get from fire to putting a man on the moon."

almost peed a little too

Back to middle ages. Granted, people smelled, but can you imagine!?
 "Doctor, I'm sick."
"Well then let's just bleed you a little and you will be fine!"

.50 sniper rifle at 2km range.  Equalize that.

*sigh* a man after my heart! 

It's illegal to pierce an animals ears, yet completely legal to pierce the ears of an infant. Animals protected above humans?

Quote

she was convicted of one misdemeanor count and one summary count of animal cruelty, her lawyer argued that parents allow children to get piercings, so why should kittens have a higher level of protection?

Basically they are saying it's OK to be cruel to infants, but not to animals.

My father is a vet. He's pierced animals ears a few times.

This lady with a rottweiler wanted the dogs ear pierced so people would know it was a girl, and gave my dad a bag of earring and told him to use whichever. My dad, trying to be nice, picked the biggest diamond in the bag so you could see it. After the fact, the lady let the dog outside, it shook its head, and the $4,000 diamond earring was lost in the grass. Ohh well.

I think the differences are:
1) he is a vet, not a groomer
2) he wasn't putting huge gauges on tiny kittens. A small stud would not have hurt that kitten, but the gauge actually was pulling the ear down
3) the neck is ridiculous

Its odd that he says he could do a google search and find the script anyway.  I did a google search and didn't find anywhere to download it other than scriptuo.  Seems like its a typical post from these guys: Thanks for the script about a script they don't have the ability to download.  Anyone know why these oddballs all post similar thank yous?

I was wondering the same think Paul. I just figured it was on EUO or something.

 

I agree with what was said earlier. If she doesn't want them, she can take them out when she makes that decision.

Well I pierced both my daughters before they where 4 months old and niether flinched so i would asume its not abuse and they felt little pain just from this info.  I have pierced 3 holes in my ears and 1 in my nipple and will concur that ear piercing has little to no pain when compared to what i felt to get my nipple pierced

I have 6 piercings in my left ear, and I can say, the rook hurt worse than my tongue and my bellybutton.
