Every now and then, an irresistible story pops up ...

OK ... so now that we know Scruffy has a sense of direction, what is his carbon footprint?

Yes, I know that there are many critical issues facing mankind, but that doesn't mean we should neglect some serious questions that may not be earth shattering but certainly must be answered.  It also means we shouldn't lose our sense of humor.

You have GOT to ask yourself, "who even thinks of doing stuff like this?".  I mean, really.  Somebody with years of expensive scientific education actually wondered if dogs crap along magnetic lines!  In all seriousness, is this study real?  You bet!

I came across this article:

http://washington.cbslocal.com/2014/01/04/study-dogs-relieve-themselves-in-line-with-earths-magnetic-field/

I thought, no this can't be real.  So I went to the actual research site:

For those of you who demand proof of every single statement that is made, here it is!  I mean, this is serious, detailed research carried out by scientists from Czechoslovakia and Denmark.  Look at the data ... I must say, I'm impressed!  I also was encouraged to know that the US government didn't fund this piece of crap.  Get it ... piece of crap?  Well, anyway, we didn't directly fund it but who knows if some of our "foreign aid" dollars went into this or not.

By the way, despite all of the very detailed analysis contained in this landmark study, I personally can say that it is nothing but a flawed piece of doggy poo.  I did my own study and can attest to the fact that I have seen my dog facing WEST while doing her thing.  So there!

Got to run ... time to let the dog out and study her defecation habits.
