I can't believe someone patented using a laser to exercise a cat!
Unfortunately in reality it's not such a good idea to have your cat or dog chase a laser dot around, at least not on a frequent basis. It could make them psychotic over time. I think many of us (myself included) have used a laser on a pet once or twice. Have you noticed how obsessive they get? That's not something you want to encourage too much. But occasional use is okay. Just be careful not to shine it in their eyes.
Yes, it can make them go nuts. My brother has an Australian Shepard, beautiful dog with one blue eye and one brown eye. We all had fun playing with this dog using a laser. She chased it for hours. And, now the dog wants to chase any moving shadow. She tries to dig in the carpet when shadows from trees shine in thru the window, so now, much of the time my brother has to keep the blinds closed on sunny days. She also digs in the yard when she thinks she is catching shadows from trees. These things never happened until we all played with her using a laser. So, my brother has told us to not ever bring the laser around the dog anymore. She is just to sensitive to the hunt and chase. Some of it is just the Australian Shepard's nature, but the laser can electrify this instinct. Beware!
I once played with my cat (a red tabby) with a laser pointer a little bit over the course of maybe a week, back when laser pointers were really popular. Then the batteries died and I put it away. To this day though, maybe 7 years later, I can get it out of the drawer and shake the laser pointer in my hand and the cat will come running to wherever I am.
We have lots of toys he likes to play with now, but not the laser, the thought of getting him in the eye with it always worried me.
The picture of the cat sleeping in the closet is my friend's cat. I always surprised to see it. He took it a few years back and it his grandparents sent it out in an e-mail and now it all over the place.
Regarding the smallest firetruck of the world, I think it's likely this one (although it's hard to call that a "truck"): http://www.ff-schnelsen.de/Loeschi/body_loeschi.html
The text is in German but there are some pictures. Google provides some more, looking for "Löschi" or Loeschi".
I wish... I stumbled upon them on the Chinese image-aggregation sites, which seem to publish only that size... I'll update if more information about the original photographers surfaces.
"I did not expect China to be so visually stunning"
My friend, the world is full of beautiful places. Just because you have your assumptions about other countries and people doesn't mean other places are any less beautiful or that other people are any worse than what you're familiar with.
Next time you see the news on TV, you should seriously think about how beautiful Iran might be, or what the cultural heritage of Iraq used to be. And don't even get me started about Russia :)
These pictures are probably taken at the historical Three Gorges river, which China has stupidly decided to dam up and ruin the scenery. I believe the dam is currently in progress and the river is expected to dip several inches per year. Visit while you can, you can hike and actually see these views - supposedly. Haven't done it yet.
Very beautiful photographs. The natural beauty of China is largely unknown to the world. I certainly never expected this from China. Thanks for sharing them.
Of course the land shown in the pictures is beautiful; it is so hard to traverse that the Chinese will dump their trash in a more convinient location, like right outside their homes.
anonymous-- That would depend on if you were an honest person or not. The criminal pictured here is a thief. The person at the ATM is a trusting person, brought up to trust other people.
One is a shameful thief, the other an honest person. That is The Truth.
first off to anonymous, youre a dumbass for what you said because the date is 11/09/01.. That is November 9th 2001 for the slow paced ones.. That was a Friday. I don't understand why people always try to find a fault and cry about it. anyway, i feel bad for the guy but as mentioned, you should never trust strangers ESPECIALLY around your money.. I know I don't, and nothing like thats ever happened to me, so tough break buddy.. you live and you learn
This could be just a demo of what did happen at that bank and how short the time frame it could take to do the job… protecting the innocent …….Notice the person at the end of the film is demonstrating the last steps to take the film out of the machine. His hand looks the same as the so-called thief in the film above… Are the banks allowed to publish the actual film of a crime????? Privacy issues…….. Of course standards in European countries are different so who knows…… any way don’t “trip” it was just a thought… I personally hide my steps while entering information in an ATM whether there is someone there or not… I always think if the camera is looking at me then that is someone who potentially can see me enter my code depending on the angle of the camera…..Some times the people who have access to the film are not good people either. Hummmm.. get to that
I think the demostration is a valid message to show those who are trusting what may be could be happening. It appears that much of the comments are about the date and not the benefits, must be some morons out there.
i can't believe that there are people on here bitching about this information. the guy that wrote this post didnt have to write it but did just so that at least one or two of you would not be caught with this scam. I don't think its a question of how stupid you are to enter your pin infront of someone people do irrational things under certain situations. thanks for the info mate much appreciated :)
Thanks for the info too. To those that think stupid people fall for it, I think its more a question of patience and frustration. If you need the money badly and someone walks over to offer help, I think in many circumstances people will "fall" for it. At least one bank is kind enough to release this info. I've yet to see anything like this from banks in my area.
