Have you ever wondered what animals think of humans? We take it for granted that we are many times more intelligent than our pets, but what do they think about us? Your dog might think you’re a mutant with super powers. You can do things that transcend his understanding. Imagine it from his perspective…
Now some scientists think that we may have super powers compared to other animals, that humans are mutants and a “copyediting error” in the brain is what separates us from other animals. To that I say, “WHATEVER”. God designed us this way. Although even if you believe in evolution, does that account for mutants with super powers? If so, I wasn’t taught that in school. Science and biology classes would’ve been a lot more interesting if we’d talked about how to get super powers.
It’s impossible to know how an animal would think of all this. Although it’s probably safe to say that if you were born a cat instead of a human, you wouldn’t be thinking about these things, nor would you even be aware that such a discussion could exist. Your life would center around eating, sleeping, and playing. Although I reckon that’s what a lot of humans focus on, not making much use of our superior intellect. To each their own. Actually, on second thought, eating a big mound of nachos and taking a nap sounds pretty good right now, super powers or not.
Before yesterday’s post (ARRR!) we received a message here via the Contact Us form. (By the way, anyone can use it, and you can ask any question — see the link for details.) This message was a little unusual. I’ll let you see for yourself:
Name: chester
Email: gas@yo-mommashouse.org
Message: yo, mr. blog dude. your blog promised to give me more than my ‘recommended allowance of randomness’ but there hasn’t been an update in almost 3 weeks! whats up with that? that’s like breach of contract and stuff. you better start posting new stuff, or i’m going to get my law degree from one of those online accredited universities and sue! that’s right! I’LL be the one enjoying the free cheesedip each month once this blog starts making money and not you! so help a brother out, and save me the $19.95 i’d have to spend on a law degree and post more stuff! you’ve been warned!
Okay, I know who this is from, and he can suck rocks. 🙂 But I will nonetheless address his concerns since he took the time to write.
1) There has been a lack of content lately, and while I have many valid excuses of various activities competing for my time, it will be suffice to sum up with: I had stuff to do. 🙂
2) There is no free cheese dip each month. (I wish!)
3) If you’re really desiring more content, here’s a fun thing to try. In the sidebar there is a link called Random Randomness, which takes you to a random post on this blog. There are very few readers (if any) who have read every post and all the comments. Besides, there’s great content that you might’ve forgotten about.
4) For additional enjoyment, click on “Say What” in the categories list, and read through the comments for the caption contests. The comments are what makes it great, and you’ll probably think of additional captions to add while you’re there.
Cap’n Slappy and Ol’ Chumbucket, the founders of Talk Like a Pirate Day
Avast, ye bloglubbers! Today be International Talk Like A Pirate Day, and all ye who refuse will henceforth be tied to the mast. ARRRR!
Yo ho ho, some scallywags on the TV said some Krispy Kreme stores will give you a free donut today if ye talk like a pirate. We be thinking that’s almost as good as finding a treasure chest. (Although, some Krispy Kreme stores will give you a free donut anytime they’re being made, but still, a free donut is a free donut.)
A while back I wrote an article about how to prevent hurricanes. It’s been a really popular post lately, and for good reason — Hurricane Isaac was recently causing a swath of destruction along its path through the southern U.S.
Hurricane Isaac in 2012
The article explained some ways to prevent hurricanes, but there has been a noticeable lack of funds coming in. So obviously investors either haven’t found it, or they didn’t take it seriously. I realize the presentation could’ve been made in a more “professional” manner. It started off with some rambling (also known as digressing), and some of the ideas were intentionally over-the-top for fun. But I make no apologies for the format — this is a humor blog, after all. Even when legitimate ideas are released into the blogosphere, they are accompanied with humor. That’s just how I roll. (Well, I do have a serious blog, and it could’ve went there, but then I would’ve had to edit out the randomness, and what’s the fun in that?)
The last idea was actually somewhat viable, though. It could make a difference in so many ways. Obviously we wouldn’t cover the entire Sahara desert with solar panels, but we’d have to make only a something-eight percent difference to improve the current status quo. And as the post explains, this would reduce global warming AND save money from hurricane damages AND be a clean, green, unlimited, renewable energy solution. So what’s the problem? All we need is appropriate funding (and by appropriate I mean a LOT, like billions of dollars), but it would pay for itself many times over.
There may be some people who worry about tampering with Mother Nature, and there are valid concerns to address, but we’ve been doing it for years already. If things do change for the negative somehow, people will just blame labels like “Global Warming” and “Climate Change” (partly because it gives them political power and enables them to raise taxes with the cleverly named “Cap and Trade”, but I’d better not rant on that or I will surely digress). Besides, there are solar panels already installed in the southwest U.S., and nobody complains about that changing the weather.
It’s important that we focus on the key initiative here, and that is to solve numerous global problems at once. Well, that and make billions of dollars in profit. But as the saying goes, it takes money to make money. And it takes money to save the world, unless you’ve got super powers like Superman. However none of us are Superman, and as far as I know, no one on the Buffet o’ Blog staff has any of the super powers of Superman (or we’d know, because it would be awesome to use them). So we need investment funding, which is another way of saying “send us your money”. We’ll send you an official certificate saying you contributed to saving the world. Plus you’ll feel all warm and toasty inside, and you’ll help extend the life of the Earth, and you can’t put a dollar value on that.
