Title: Bipedalism: not just for primates anymore
Post by: jaydub on December 07, 2009, 08:28:45 pm: Faith, the dog

Yeah, sure - birds do it too, but the title gets less snappy as it gets more wordy. Wonder how her spine will hold up over the years with that posture.

Thank god for TOUAMB so that we don't have to discuss this article there. We've had our share of religious conversations here on this board so now we know better.

Edit: Heres a video in case you were wondering how freakish a two legged walking dog looks.

That is the funniest thing I've read this week. Thank you, A-cap, I needed that. Today, work is a ghoulish mess.

Turn your ghouls into ghoulash then. It always works for me.

Don't eat it though, ghoul ghoulash is like the dishwater of the devil.

Gawd, that's weird, I had started typing "goulash" at first, thinking about the bloody mess appearance of it, then thought that "ghoulish" would make more sense in the context of my day.

I could use some nice hot hearty homey goulash. Mmm.

Post by: slink on December 25, 2009, 02:47:52 pm: I don't know if this is the same bipedal dog as the one I came across a while back (reading this from a phone) but I was struck how much it made tghe back legs resemble an Achewood cat. Including the uneasy skinniness of the legs! Also... kind of creepy!
